Winners For Sketch 680!

 

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and our hostess Narelle has chosen the Queen: 

SmilynStef from Ingenious Inking



Hey Everyone! I had so much fun looking at this weeks gallery and choosing our Queen. Couldn't help it, but I fell in love with Stef's gorgeously elegant card.  It simplicity is just stunning and I adore her use of those brollies (Aussie slang for umbrellas) and the splattered background imitating raindrops. LOVE! Congrats Stef, you are our Queen of Clean!

Winners For Sketch 679!

 

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and our hostess Karren has chosen the Queen:



Krista from Regal Stamping




You gave us a wonderful gallery to browse this week and I loved the various ways you used my sketch.  Thank you to everyone who played along!  Krista's adorable card caught my eye this week.  The way she used her farm scene for the sketch elements was so clever and doing it with a limited colour palette is even more impressive! Congrats Krista you are this week's Queen of Clean !

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle.

On a team personal note, this is the last week on the team for our dear Jacquie.  Over 6 years of inspiration and wow have we been lucky to have her with us.  She is still creating but focusing on other crafts instead.  Thank you, Jacquie, for being such a wonderful teammate and designer!!

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and our hostess Cecile has chosen the Queen:



Maria from White Mood




A huge thank you to all those who joined in this week. The gallery was absolutely amazing, so full with creativity. You all made it very difficult for me to choose just one card. But I have to, and I'd like to pay a special tribute to Maria. Her card is so arsty and so striking with that red poppy which seems to be popping out. Congrats Maria you are this week's Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Karren.
