Thanks to everyone who got cooking with our recipe challenge over the last two weeks, and included all the recipe ingredients in their projects! Though the ingredients were the same, the results were as varied as soup to nuts!! The Design Team enjoyed sampling each of them, but then we had the tough job of picking the winners. Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Malina G.
Malina's butterfly (one of the ingredients) is created with a die using the shattered glass technique, which makes it look as though it is breaking off multi-coloured pieces of glass and dropping them as it flies away. It's a stunning effect, especially backed with circles of vellum and patterned paper!
Our Featured Artist is: Tenia Nelson
At first glance, you'd wonder if something so clean has all the recipe elements, but as you look closer you see that everything is there, including the butterfly. Tenia has just kept her design cool and understated in the best possible way. The Design Team fell in love with the urban look of her paper choices and the unique collage effect that ensued. The small pink butterfly was the perfect finishing touch.
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their site:
