Winners for Challenge #297 - Party Tweet

We're excited to announce the winners of Challenge #297 because the Featured Artist will be our Guest Designer for the next Recipe Challenge in two weeks! We love to work with our winners! Our entries were so bright and beautiful and very hard to choose winners from!

Here are our winners:

We have a tie for Top Pick:

Our first Top Pick is: Lisa K.

Lisa found a really unique way of presenting the colours in the challenge and that was by using plaid dies. These dies overlap in different ways creating differing plaid designs. The one Lisa chose really highlights the colours in a way that lets them complement each other! Thanks for sharing this great idea with us all, Lisa!

Our second Top Pick is: Tenia Nelson

Tenia has presented us with a great study in colour, composition and texture. We love those giant sequins and the mix of vintage and contemporary patterns and images. Tenia is the master of eclectic designs, and once again, delights us with her entry.

Our Featured Artist is: Christy Stanford

As Featured Artist this week, Christy will also be invited to be our next Guest Designer! The Design Team loved the attractive way Christy used the four colours, with the yellow, green and blue as the image and the purple for the outline and sentiment. The choice of image was perfect for the layout and the choice of paper in the background really enhanced the whole effect.

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

Challenge #297 - Party Tweet

The little bird in our challenge banner is so decked out in colourful plumage, that he looks as though he's going to an amazing party! In fact, it's a real tweet - er, treat - just to look at him! I think it's also going to be a real treat just to play with these colours as well, thanks to Design Team member, Jane! I'd say, "Go wild! Have fun with them! Be the life of the party!" 

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 #AYSI 297 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.*
• We do reserve the right to delete, or not consider, entries that do not comply with these guidelines.*
