Here I am with the results for Challenge 3. First of all my apologies for the delay in putting up the results. This challenge I had lot more confusion than the past one. Hence this time there is not 1 nor 2 but 3 winners. So here are they in the order of submission-

Helen,  Phillipa ,and Preethu - The Winners of November Challenge 2010. And here are the winning cards-

Helen's card

Helen's card has a very beautiful color combination. The holly leaves have turned out to be perfect!

Phillipa's card

Phillipa's snowflakes are very pretty. She's very creative and always comes up with some innovative ideas.

Preethu's card

Preethu's card has very minute work, especially the way she has quilled Lord Ganesha.

Congratulations Helen, Phillipa and Preethu!

A special mention about Ann's card. I loved the way Ann has used the heart scrolls to create a cute christmas tree. A simple yet beautiful card! And here's it -

Ann's card

I hope that you all enjoyed this challenge. The next challenge is going to be a bit "challenging". So stay tuned :).

Winner of Challenge 2

The wait is over. I thank you all for you patience. Believe me, I had a very tough time deciding the
winner and took help from many of my friends. And they all came up with 2-3 best cards
and all different :). Finally I decided to choose 2 winners -
The winners for October challenge 2010 are Karen and Heather-

Karen's card

Heather's card

Congratulations Karen and Heather! 

Karen's card has a great color combination. It's a simple yet beautiful card. The butterfly
and flower both are very neat.

Heather's card has beautiful roses. The light color flowers and butterflies perfectly
compliment the dark background.

And here's something about what I liked about each one of your cards, in the order of
submission -
Anita Kumar - Loved the fresh colours used in your card. The butterfly style is also very unique.

Karuna - Loved the card format and the way you have used the stamping background

Ann - Your card has a beautiful format too and I loved the background paper pattern which has
created a lovely overall combination.

Vidushi - Very neat quilling. You have just started with quilling and it's your second card,
but the quality of coils is no less than an experienced quiller

Mansi - Loved the flowers. The butterfly style is also very unique

Phillipa - There couldn't have been a more perfect imitation of the background flower! Very
neat quilling too.

Thank you all for participating in October challenge.
A Special thanks to Kaela and Helen. Both of them created a card for the challenge but missed
the deadline.
And here are their cards -

I hope you all enjoyed this challenge as much I enjoyed setting it up.
