Winners for Challenge #304 - Summertime & the Livin' is Easy

Ahh! Summertime! There's good evidence to suggest that it is the favourite season of many or you, or at least many of you have some wonderful memories and favourite things about it!

Now, I want to introduce you to our winners! Here they are: 

Our Top Pick is: Melanie H.

Melanie has created a beautiful CAS design featuring a perfectly blended background circle, onto which she has added simple die cuts to make a charming scene of camping in the woods. We loved her ink blending, the crisp die cuts and the way they spill out beyond the circle, creating natural depth. Her colour palette is a calm, serene one, with the one exception being the summer sun as a nice pop of colour. A top pick project, Melanie!!

Our Featured Artist is: Tenia Nelson 

Tenia filled in our blank with the words, "I love eating cold treats during the summer!" and she followed that up with the image of the most delicious looking ice cream cone ever! There were several things that the Design Team loved about this project, which included the blocks of summery colour behind the cone, the colouring of the image itself, and the sentiment with it's old time labeller tag with the black & white word! A very tasty card indeed for our Featured Artist award!

                                                      

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

Challenge #304 - Summertime & the Livin' is Easy

Remember that old song: "Summertime and the livin' is easy, fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high!" Summertime can be easy, although with fires, storms and heat waves, that's getting a little more rare! But still, it's a time when people often take vacations and enjoy a freer lifestyle. What do you love about the summer? Can you make a card that shows it?

For a Fill in the Blank Challenge, you complete the sentence by filling in the blank, then you make your project based on the words you used to fill in the blank. How would you fill in this blank? Now, take on the challenge of making something amazing with it!

 And make sure to tell us, in your blog post, how you Filled in the Blank!
