Maria's Choice:

#14 - Jenny Colacicco

I'm currently crushing on Flora and Fauna stamps so Jenny had me right outta the gate! But seriously, her CAS design with all that wonderful white space caught my eye. Her design exemplifies outside-the-box thinking. And I love the double heat embossing! If you haven't watched her video for this card you should. 

Tracey's Choice:

#19 - Carol H


I was totally enamored by Carol's overall composition. The gorgeous embossed snowflake background and grey woodgrain star added so much texture and then topped off with the gold  scripty sentiment and pretty green foliage to set the whole design off!


Congrautlations to our winners!

#9 - Marisa Ritzen

It was so hard picking a winner, but Marisa's card stood out to me because of her gorgeous coloring and striking paper choices. I absolutely love the blue leaves; unexpected but perfect for the challenge! I also love the contrast between the pattern paper and the crisp,white textured paper! Great job!

Tracey's Choice:

#12 - Marcia Hill

Marcia captured the feeling of the inspiration perfectly with her embossed background, beautiful caramel diecut leaves panel and addition of the latte. Using the colours from The inspiration photo finished the piece right off. Warm and cozy!

Anita's choice:

#7 - Hannelie

Like the inspiration, Hannelie’s card is bold and striking … the subtle variation in colour created by the layered stencilling adds a wonderful depth to her gorgeous bloom … and the flourishy, scripty sentiment is such a delicious contrast to the graphic style of the flower!

Tracey's Choice:

#9 - Rosemary

Rosemary pulled just the right shades of pink and peach from the Dahlia in the inspiration photo for her poinsettia to create a beautiful and elegant Christmas card. The gold embossing and vellum sentiment added additional wow.

Beautiful look, Cindy!
