Winners for Challenge #246 - Easter Thoughts

 Easter is a pretty popular theme right now! We had so many beautiful entries! Thanks for taking part in our Theme Challenge! We didn't have to go on any Easter Egg Hunts to find our winners, although there were so many beauties it was hard to come to a consensus! But we did and here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnston

Thinking outside the box is something that Jolanda makes a beautiful habit of as she has created an Easter egg with woven, brightly coloured strips of cardstock. They make such a colourful, joyful background for her adorable Easter Bunny, all in the flavour of the season! 

We had a tie for Featured Artist this week:

Our  first Featured Artist is: Heather Heroldt

The Design Team were so impressed by Heather's beautiful spiritually-themed Easter card. Her striking ombre yellow background is so hopeful! Check out the backing behind the cross when you click on the card to enlarge it. It almost has a golden fleck to it!  And the flowering vine softens the whole effect! The whole card is very eye-catching! Congratulations, Heather.

Our  second Featured Artist is: Deborah Wheeler

A great deal of detail went into this beautiful, unique Easter card. Stencilling, masking and careful colouring were involved to get this misty vignette with the stained glass focal point! You really need to read about her process on her blog! Well done, Deborah!

Challenge #246 - Easter Thoughts

I can't believe it's almost Easter time again! I think about what was happening last year at Easter, and what we know know, and I realize we knew nothing then. I remember thinking we would be back to normal by the summer or fall of 2020. But here we are and we are just starting to have some hope of getting back together with loved ones again! So this Easter theme challenge proposed by Design Team member Joanne, could be especially poignant! I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with. But hey! Bunnies, chicks and eggs are great, too!

What is our Design Team thinking about Easter this year?
