Hi everyone, well you certainly made it difficult for me to choose my winners, with so many amazing entries. But, after much deliberation, here they are.
#28 Kylie
I love C&S but really struggle with it, so I really admire someone who can do it well. Plus Kylie already had me with the sequins!
#29 Mac Mabel
The colours here are so vibrant, fabulous composition, and great use of the stencils.
#50 Sara's Closet
Sara, you always use such wonderful layers. Your pieces always have so much to see, but are never cluttered, AND
you've given your deer a bow tie!
DTSM - the Design Team Special Mention, our very top prize, and the Country View Crafts equivalent of the Pointless trophy and the Blankety Blank cheque book and pen all rolled into one goes to ....
#72 Emma
In my notes I've just written one word - brilliant! These crazies are always such fun, but they are also beautifully coloured and in the perfect setting. I did have to deduct a point though for my own constant singing of ' Who Let The Dogs Out'
and now onto our August Challenge:
Craftyfield's theme "I like to be beside the seaside" August winner of the £20 Country View Crafts voucher, selected by Random Generator from the challenge entries is
#35 Simone
Craftyfield has chosen these as her Top 3 makes:
First up a wonderful card, both funny and cleverly made by #19 Cocofolies:
Then a gorgeous Mixed Media make by #22 Tracey.
Craftyfield loved the textures added to the stamped images with yarn, beads and embossing.
Finally a Clean And Simple card from Mac Mable.
Sand and sea are barely suggested but do indeed illustrate the seaside to perfection!
Craftyfield's special mention goes to #43 Emma, who made a lovely
underwater scene with lots of sea creatures some stamped and some real ones too...
