Winners for Challenge #323 - Recipe for Drama in Black & White

Thanks to all the testers who tried out our Recipe Challenge last week! We all loved the elements you included to fulfill the recipe requirements! It's amazing how 5 different ingredients can be combined in so many different ways. Your cards took the concept of drama in whole new directions and gave us some beautiful designs! Here are the winners:

Our Top Pick is: LeAnne Pugliese

LeAnne gave us a CAS design featuring the retired colour, Mint Macaron. On her daintily embossed white background, she added a layer with a paper-pieced tea bag. Around the label holding the teabag she added little banners of a Mint Macaron plaid. It really highlights the award winning  Congratulations for the Top Pick award, LeAnne!

And our Featured Artist this week:

Our Featured Artist is: Karen Walker

Karen, our Featured Artist this week and winner, used an elaborate embossing folder and a partial embossing technique to create this beautiful design using all the elements of our Recipe Challenge! The Design Team really loved the way the extra colour popped around the card front as the border and the black cardstock made the most prominent sentiment! Overall, a most eye catching entry! Congratulations, Karen!

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mention on her site:
