Winners for As You See It Challenge #195 - All Askew

You knocked us for a loop with your creativity on a difficult sketch challenge! So many great designs! But what really had the Design Team topsy turvy was trying to pick winners from among them! We did manage to come to a consensus, however, and here they are:

Our first Top Pick is: Mary Deatherage 

WOW! What a fabulous way to use the sketch! The layers of texture from the Country Floral embossing all the way up to the super die cut and sentiment are so tastefully assembled they add up perfection. The colours are amazing, too! This is a card well-worthy of Top Pick!

And our Featured Artist is: Dawn MacKay

                                         

                       

This Lent card is so significant, from the purple cross, to the burlap background, to the sacrifice sentiment, to the purple, gray and white palette! It is clean and crisp looking, but it creates a beautiful and meaningful way to interpret the sketch. Gorgeous, Dawn!

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new colour challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

You Still Have Time to Play Challenge #195 - All Askew

Challenge #195 - All Askew

Challenge #195! We're getting closer to our 200th challenge! And this one is an interesting sketch by Amanda that I'm calling All Askew, and I think you'll know why when you see it. It's perfect for using that designer paper, but don't let that limit you! You can do many things with those tilted panels. And the star can be any shape! Have fun with it! I know I did!

And let's see how the Design Team skewed their panels:

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch and to substitute one   shape for another but we must still be able to see the sketch   in your finished submission.
• Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYSI195 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.
