Here are the DTs favourite projects from July's 'Anything Goes' (Optional 'Nature') challenge:

Helen B's favourite: #13 - Cathy R

Helen says: I love the elegant simplicity of Cathy's card - the depth of colour in the inky background is so beautiful!


Helen F's favourite: #43 - Susan Joyce

Helen says: I love Susan's sweet little hedgie bringing a he a bunch of pretty flowers. The little hedgie inside the card is the perfect surprise addition.



Jenny's favourite: #6 - Ellibelle 
Jenny says: I really love Elibelle's clever combination of the Dancing Daisies and Hedgie. The colours are so pretty.


Milla's favourite: #3 - Babs

Milla says: Babs's card really caught my eye with its hexagon shape and the beautiful watercolour effect she achieved with watercolour markers. Truly a beautiful card! 

Natalie's favourite: #20 - Bonnie

Natalie says: I love the watercolour and inky background behind the floral stamp, this is a beautiful card.
