This time, I want to thank everyone who took on our speed stamping challenge! What you accomplish in under 10 minutes is truly astonishing! It makes me feel like I live in an alternate universe where time runs at a faster pace, and Murphy's Law is dominant, (which is just another way of saying that speed challenges make me slow and fumble-fingered!)
Here are the entries that the Design Team picked for our winners this time:
Our Top Pick is: Lilly B
Lilly used a variety of green shades and a mix of foliage stamps to create an image with a lot of depth and interest. Beyond that the greens with the black sentiment, the black card base and lots of white space gave a CAS design perfect for a Speed Challenge, one that Lilly completed in only 4 minutes and 11 seconds! Fast and beautiful with great technique earn our Top Pick award! Congratulations, Lilly!
Our Featured Artist is: Gayle Chrvala
Gayle has used a trio of lovely blue brush stoke images as a backdrop for a wispy white piece of plant life and it looks so delicate yet intentional as a CAS design. With the addition of a black stamped sentiment, echoed by a black layer of matting, and some white enamel dots for embellishment, the overall effect is very striking, completed in 9 minutes and 5 seconds, earning Gayle the Featured Artist Award. Congratulations!
