Winners for Challenge #232 - Sunflower Skies

Great job on the colour challenge, everyone! I feel like we single-handedly increased the sunflower bloom across the world because of our challenge! And way to go those of you who bucked the trend and created something completely different! Once again you made our jobs so tough to do, as we had to choose our winners, but here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Joanna from Jojo's Spot

Joanna created a wonderfully unique card using our challenge colours, and nary a sunflower in sight! The Design Team loved her layered lettering, especially using the patterned paper with the challenge colours and the creative way she used the Cajun Craze beads to get that colour into the mix! Such a different, yet eye-pleasing design, you get excited just because you're looking at something totally different!

And this week we have a tie for Featured Artist. 

Our first Featured Artist is: Amy Tsuruta 

Amy combined several different stamp sets to fill this adorable slimline card, but they all worked together so well, you would swear the images were all from the same set! Here background is perfect and she used a lot of skill colouring in the images. The Design Team loved the depth in her design and the boldness of her sentiment. Well done!

Our second Featured Artist is: Theresa P. 

Theresa's antique-looking sunflowers and vase caught the Design Team's attention right off the top. We loved the skilled colouring job that Theresa did with the flowers and leaves. And that one Bermuda Bay stripe on the vase pulls your eye toward the meaningful  sentiment! What a great way of using those challenge colours! Great job!

Challenge #232 - Sunflower Skies

It's time for another Colour Challenge and this is one of my own design! It's a truly August in the Northern Hemisphere type colour challenge with the fall leaf and floral colours, the intense blue of an August sky and some white to balance it all out!! So we've called it Sunflower Skies! (Remember you can use the colours you have that most closely match the ones we've given you here on the banner.  Don't count yourself out because you don't have the exact ones!)
And please branch out from sunflowers! We'd love to see a variety of images!

The Design Team were thinking a lot alike this week, as you'll see:

Amy Jasper

Heather Cooper

Jan Clothier

Jane Knudsen

Joanne James

LeAnne Pugliese

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Stampin' Up! colours are used for reference but any matching colours are welcome. You can use black/neutral for outlines and sentiments but don’t use any other colours.
• 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 #AYSI232 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
