Winners of Challenge #285 - Aurora

We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #285 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge in two weeks! We're very keen to work with the winner! Our entries certainly did the colour challenge justice!

Here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Lisa K.

Lisa skillfully used the colours as a blended background with the lighter colours as a backdrop for the starlight. The black became the silhouettes and the backing panel (along with the dark blue). This gave her Christmas themed card a moody, mysterious look that really enhances the star as the focal point!

Our Featured Artist is: Cindi Copeland

As Featured Artist this week, Cindi will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! We loved that she used a slimline format to get more of our Challenge Colours in her design. The chevron design in the background has chevron in all three colours on a black card base and then the flowers are a cascade of colour down the front of the card. So lavish and pretty! Even her envelope uses the colour palette!

Congratulations, Cindi, you will be our next Guest Designer for our Recipe Challenge in 2 weeks time. We will be in touch!

Challenge #285 - Aurora

We're into October now and for some of us, it's a month marked by coloured leaves and Halloween. These colours are reminiscent of fall and witches' cauldrons, but equally, they could be sunset colours or a seascape or the aurora borealis, so have fun with this beautiful combination in whatever way you see the colours being used!

Each time we have a colour challenge, the Featured Artist will have a chance to become a Guest Designer for our next Recipe Challenge 4 weeks from now. So enter with that in mind! We're so excited to work with you for a challenge!!

Remember, if you don't have the Stampin' Up! colours, use the colours you have that are the closest. Your project should use all these colours only and 1 neutral. (Neutrals include black, white, vanilla or Crumb Cake.)

How did the Design Team use these colours this week?

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. Make sure you use all the colours in the challenge banner. Neutrals include black, white, vanilla, Crumb Cake.
• 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 #AYSI285 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.
• You can combine our challenge with up to 3 other compatible challenges.*
