Winners for Challenge #171 - Pieces of the Sky

I've got to say that the creativity we saw with this last collection challenge was even more impressive than usual! And you'd think with that many design elements dictated that all the cards would look alike, but you'd be wrong! There was amazing variety. Well done, everyone! Here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Dawn McKay

Dawn cleverly disguised her rainbow and the letter i in the word WISH, with a birthday cake! And apparently, her cake stamp had to do a number of gymnastic moves to stamp each section a different colour. The colours are so vibrant in this beauty of a card, it makes you feel that wishes really could come true! I hope Dawn wished to be our Top Pick, because that is what her design earned her! 

And our Featured Artist is: dj

                                                                                 

dj's amazing creativity shines through here, and the Design Team were captivated by her sparkly wide rainbow made from shooting stars, which look just like fireworks being set off, thanks to the confetti splatters just above the one word, enjoy! A colourful, well-designed CAS card that grabs your attention right away! 

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

Challenge #171 - Pieces of the Sky

Are you ready for another collection challenge? This kind of challenge presents several elements for you to use, and you must somehow incorporate all of them in your design, but within those parameters the possibilities for creative solutions are endless! Notice how many of these could be a piece of the wide open skies? We're hoping that the sky is the limit as you think outside the box and come up with innovative designs for this one. Are you up for it??

Let's see how the Design Team managed the collection:
