Winner | Inspire.Create.Challenge #202

Good morning, I hope you are all well and have had a great week.

I have loved watching your autumnal cards dropping in to the challenge.  Autumn is definitely one of my favourite seasons.

The winner this week is....

Deborah Wheeler

Deborah, I genuinely loved everything about this card, its cleanness, the colours, the technique but most of all its versatility.  This card could literally be used for any occasion, is suitable for males and females and all ages too!  Sympathy cards are some of the most difficult to make but this shows they can still be elegant and beautiful.  Well done.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #202 | Autumn/Fall

 

Good morning again and welcome to Challenge #202.  I mentioned earlier that Autumn is really taking hold here in the UK with the leaves changing colour, colder nights and just that feel that Autumn is just around the corner.

We have some Autumn/Fall inspiration for you here...

Winner | Inspire.Create.Challenge #196

Good morning.  I am going to start with an apology today.  The winner of this challenge was meant to have been announced the weekend before last.  Unfortunately I have had, what seems like, a continuous bout of ill health just recently, nothing serious but all of which have made me feel very under the weather.  I am hoping that my run of bad luck is at an end and we can get back on track!

As a result, Challenge #198 will be launched on 3 August to give my amazing team some time to create some beautiful samples for you.  Spoiler alert - think circles!!!

Without further ado, the winner of Challenge #196 is...

Jolanda Johnstone

Well done Jolanda, we loved the way you used the orange and lemon colours and the different layers and textures!

Thank you all so much for sharing your projects with us and please continue to spread the word!  Don't be shy, we want to see your creations.
