Dusk to Dawn Challenge Winners

Hello everyone, I have our "Dusk to Dawn" winner and our top 3 for September.  We had 30 blog entries and 2 great email entries this month.

I always use Random.org first to find the winner of our prize so that I don't also call them a Top 3 winner. This time #31 Margaret from Yorkshire - an email entry.



Reach out to me Margaret with your mailing address and I will send out your stamp.

When we review all the great entries each month for the Top 3 we are looking for finished projects (cards, bookmarks, framed art, etc), and scenes that are stamped or digi'd with all the scenic elements mentioned in our rules.  They we all really great this month (they usually are) and I am trying not to pick the same ones each month too.

Our Top 3 this month are:

7. Susan Shuler

 25. Carla Aerts 

30. Mamapia

Congratulations to all!  I will be back in a few minutes with our next challenge.

Dusk to Dawn - Final Week

September is an extra long month with five Sundays and that makes this week the final week of our "Dusk to Dawn" challenge.  

Please click here if you wish to jump directly to the post with Mr. Linky.

I've got two wonderful email entries from our friends Margaret and Dawn from Yorkshire.

For Margaret's entry, she has used all Lavinia stamps, including a number of the small £1 stamps (the dragon, the castle, the mushrooms, the stars ….).  She brayered the background with Adirondack inks, using torn paper to make the mountains; then stamped the images in Versafine. She darkened the edges using Cut’n’Dry and, finally, added some sparkle around the stars with Glamour Dust (sorry, this doesn't show up too well on the photo) – the techniques are very well demonstrated by Tracey Dutton (the Lavinia designer) in videos on her site - http://laviniastamps.com/qvc-video/

Dawn used a freebie stamp of silhouette hares/rabbits and added some Lavinia foliage around the edge.  Her background paper is actually just a sheet of crumpled copy paper which she used to mop up the spare ink from the splodge mat, then ironed flat!

Dora, from my amazing design team has made an extra card for this month......
