Winners for Challenge #207 - Split Decision

It was fun to have another sketch challenge to work with over the past two weeks and I always marvel at how many different cards we get for the same sketch. And we had no split decisions this week when choosing our winners! The Design Team was in near unanimous harmony over our choice - almost never happens! Which is ironic given the title of this challenge! Anyway, without further ado, here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Joanne James

Even though Joanne did a flipped mirror image of our sketch, it's still very recognizable as the sketch. What caught our eye, and was so much fun, was the way the cow was doing the splits and parodying the challenge title - Split Decision. The gingham in rose with the black and white accents, which echo the cow is just clever, all around! Now, the real question is, will Joanne party til the cows come home when she finds out that she's our Top Pick! I've a feeling that she'll want to MOOve it, MOOve it! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Our first Featured Artist is: Vicky Hayes

The Design Team just loved Vicky's interpretation of the sketch - another flipped mirror image, where the split was an actual cut in the cardstock with the sentiment cleverly stamped in between the layers. We really liked the scored line on either side of the split edges that added a touch of sophistication to the project as well. And who doesn't love a card that finds a way to use up those bits and pieces of leftovers that we all usually have on hand! Beautiful, clean simplicity!

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

Challenge #207 - Split Decision

Wow! We've now made it through one whole rotation of challenges since our 200th challenge! We've done a sketch, a colour challenge, a fill in the blank, a recipe challenge, a theme and a speed stamping challenge and now we're back to another sketch. This one is designed by our talented design team member, Jan, and it features a split in the background panel - hence the name 'split decision'. What will you do with the split? Will you add two different types of paper? Will you use ribbon or paper to divide your background or will you just keep it half covered? Maybe you will paint or sponge it with a horizon line! Whatever you do, you can add a focal point on the left of some shape or other. 

Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch, just keep the integrity of it, so we can recognize it. What will your Split Decision be?

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch and to substitute one   shape for another but we must still be able to see the sketch   in your finished submission.
• 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 #AYSI207when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
