Winners For Sketch 707

 

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Judy has chosen the Queen: 

Rochelle from Stamping Flair


Thank you to everyone who played with my sketch this past week! It is always such a joy to see your creativity and how you interpret the sketch. I loved looking at each of your beautiful creations. Rochelle‘s card really stood out to me because of her non-traditional colors and some of the fun elements in her background - like the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder and that fun paper. I loved those clean lines of the trees, but also, when you look closer, texture that she added to them with a stamp. An unexpected delight for Christmas!

Winners For Sketch 706!

 

The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Amy has chosen the Queen: 






What fun it was to look through the gallery this week! I loved seeing how many creative ways y'all found to use the focal circle image in this sketch. The card I kept coming back to was Bree's cute Halloween card. I love how she used the focal circle as a bright moon. This card is the perfect balance of spooky for me with the bats and haunted house, and cute with the adorable costumed critters. Such fun!

Winners For Sketch 705

 

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



Tracey from Crafty Tracey



Thanks heaps to everyone who played along with last weeks challenge. I love looking at the gallery, but you all make is so difficult to choose one Queen. But choose I did. I chose this super cute Christmas card from Tracey with it's fun images and fab colours. The background stamping is simple but effective as it lets those images really pop. Congrats, Tracey! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

Winners For Sketch 704

 The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Michele has chosen the Queen: 




Thanks so much to everyone who played along with my sketch this week.  SO many wonderful interpretations- so many cards to love!  You made picking just one very difficult for me - and I thank you for that!  SmilynStef's lovely pumpkin-colored leaves with their touches of gold really speaks to my love of Fall and her choice of a kraft card base brought it all home. Congrats, Stef! You are this week's Queen of Clean!
