March Downline Challenge

Today was our Quarterly "Calling ALL Crazy Stamping Ladies" downline meeting - and what a fun time it was. Each month we do a card challenge - and this month's was to make your best card using Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist and River Rock - they could also use any or all of Whisper White, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla. There were not a lot of entries - but the ones that did enter were AMAZING - it was very difficult to pick just one winner. But we did it. This first card is Annette's entry - it was so lovely and she did just a wonderful job on using the embossing folder frame and reducing the size for the inside layer - really nice work. The second entry was from Julie and really ROCKS - look at the great way she used all the colors - lots of dimension and movement in this card - what TEEN wouldn't love to get this. You can check out more of Julie's work at - http://simistamper.blogspot.com/

Third was this beautiful and soft SPRINGTIME version of the challenge by Kathy - I love the way she used beveled frame - and if you look closely you'll see the beautiful clouds that were sponged on the background layer.

Here is the winning card from Sandy - CONGRATULATIONS! I have to apologize - for some reason I think my flash failed and so her card came out dark. This card was so beautiful - that the picture even clearer probably would not have done it justice. Hopefully she'll post it on her blog and you can see it here - http://shadeeladee.blogspot.com/
