Now it's time for Christine a.k.a. Craftyfield to share her top picks with you.  As always you made it very difficult to choose from so many amazing entries, but here they are in no particular order.

#7 Craftymama (Lesley) from Crafty Love and Hugs

 Christine said: Loved the trio of ATCs made from a Gelli print, with its luscious  layers of paints and stencilling, including the accidental crackle!

#20 Autumn from Sew Paper Paint

 Christine said: A gorgeous Mixed Media canvas with a Vintage vibe. Loved the stencilling as well as the 3D cluster of embellishments that showcase the photo perfectly.

#67 Ellie from Paper Stamps Colour

 Christine said: A rare one layer Mixed Media make, and a very fresh design. I love this Gelli print where the negative stencil plays peek-a-boo with the layers of paint and stamping.
