These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Please Take Your DT Favourite Badge from the Side Bar

Lorraine chose #8 Elaine/KraftiKards 

This is such a pretty card using shades of a single colour. I love the effect of the layered stencilling and touches of glitter on the stamped grasses.

Carole chose #29 Alice

Alice created a beautiful, romantic scene using stamping and die cut flowers. Her card is a stunning piece of artwork. 

Koyel chose #40 Jinny

I love the pop-up scene, and the cute images.

Andree chose #62 Carol

A wonderfully pretty card with gorgeous floral images. The unique (and accidental) card fold works perfectly to show off the lovely papers.

Sari chose #77 Lisa J

Loving the layout, fun little images, the fresh look and perfect sentiment!

Ileana chose #94 Paperesse

Wonderful matching colours of the paper and the colouring of the image. I love frame and sweet image. Gorgeous colouring.

Dagmara chose #131 Jinny

I have a weakness for bookmarks, and this one is gorgeous! Cute stamp with the doggie very nicely colored. I would love to use such a bookmark myself!

Danuta chose #153 Maria Valente

I like the shape of the card and the careful workmanship. A great idea for a card for a baby.

Helen chose #173 Susan Sudbury

Beautifully coloured and a lovely CAS design x

Don't forget that the new challenge starts tomorrow.
