Koyel chose #1 Granne

I love the mixed media effects.

Kelly chose also #1 Granne 

I love these tags and the colors and images are wonderful!

A gorgeous card full of wonderful colours. The focal point image is beautifully coloured. The stunning background really gives the sense of underwater with it's bubbles and rich colour blends topped with the fabulous sparkle.

Jerlann chose #48 Nunzia 

Fabulous design work! Great background colors. Very fun card.

I love Bonnie's stylish card. The paper, designed by Bonnie, is bold and yet elegant and is matted and layered beautifully onto plain coloured card. A layer of torn mulberry paper adds a magical touch to the design and the ribbons and flowers surround and highlight the sentiment. Gorgeous work!

Ileana chose #122 Crafting Stellalena 

Wonderful background and choice of colours. Beautiful sweet image and great colouring. I love bubbles and sentiment dies.

Dagmara chose #158 Chris 

Beautiful work! Wonderfully coloured stamp and a delightful mixed media background.

Danuta chose #166 Liliane Carvalho 

I like the painting, it's nicely colored and neatly cut out. A very cute tag.

Andrée chose #3 Pinky

A beautiful card in a gorgeous colourway. The clever design, pretty layered image, fabulous embossed corner and super faux stitching are all wonderful.

Ileana chose #68 Maz 

A wonderful step card. Fabulous design and image beautifully colored. I love how she arranged wonderful flowers. Lovely choice of colours.

Jerlann chose #75 Nick 

Fantastic Laying. Love all the beautiful use of color. Everything fits together so well.

Helen chose #83 Kym 

This is so well put together with lots of different elements and layers.

Carole chose #101 Leslie T

I just fell in love with Leslie's VW campervan full of groovy chickens. The dark and dramatic inky background papers make the colours pop and the flip flap greeting inside is the coolest. A fabulous project.

Robin chose #118 Kym 
Perfect masculine card for her son, love her color choices and could resist a blinged out hefty pup!!!

Koyel chose #122 Dreja 

Love the background work. And the dies

Dagmara chose #127 Crafting Stellalena 

Beautiful monochromatic colours. I really like the colouring and the digi stamp itself.

Danuta chose #144 Loopyloo 

An ingenious die-cut and fun little digi. The whole very childlike and cheerful. I love it.

Kelly chose #171 Katrina Bufton 

Love the grungy wire bird and the thread really sets this card apart!

Don't forget that the new challenge starts tomorrow.
