Hello everyone, 

it is Corrie with the top 3 and the special mention for my challenge of July which was 'blues and greens'. There were lots of fabulous entries and it was very difficult to choose ! 

Here's my top 3:

#6 - Aussie aNNie

This card shows fabulous use of the requested colours with nothing to distract from the theme. I love it ! Lovely gel printed background too ! 

#3 - J.


This mermaid girl is fabulous and fits the bill (=challenge :)) perfectly ! Love her wild hair and the background is fabulous. 

#50 - Tammy A. 


Love all the different elements on this card and the main image is lovely! 

The special mention is for :

#60 Jo from 'Let's Artjournal'


The detail in the background is fantastic, I love the blues and greens and the meaning of the page is powerful ! 
I'd like to thank everyone who took part in my challenge; it was fun looking at all the entries and see all the stunning work !

A tiny textured dancer

Good morning it's Jane here today with some more texture inspiration for our current challenge. We have seen some fab entries and you still have 10 more days to enter. 
My card uses lots of techniques for "alternative" textures including dry embossing and gems. If you would like to see how I put this card together just dance pop on over to my blog here where all is revealed.
Enjoy the rest of August, let's hope we get another blast of sunny summer weather before September arrives.
Bye for now,
