PBSC December - Anything Goes...Optional 'Winter Wonderland'...More Inspiration!

 Happy Saturday Everyone!

We're back with some more inspiration for our current challenge, and the announcement of the DT favourites from last month's challenge!

*******

Here are the DTs favourite projects from November's 'Anything Goes' (Optional 'Bingo/Tic-Tac-Toe') challenge:


Helen B's favourite: #17 - Helene
Helen says: I love the atmospheric colouring of this beautiful winter woodland scene on Helene's card - just beautiful!



Jenny's favourite: #34 - Maura
Jenny says: I love the gorgeous non-traditional colours and the beautiful water-colouring!

 

Kylie's favourite: #16 - Julie B
Kylie says: Just wow! Julie's example of no line watercolouring is stunning. The colours and depths achieved are brilliant and the embossed sentiment is perfect. Love this card!


Lorraine's favourite: #14 - Bonnie
Lorraine says: I love the pretty poinsettia and Bonnie had coloured this one beautifully. The cas design is perfect for this stamp.


Milla's favourite: #24 - Bonnie
Milla says: Bonnie's card is stunning! The clean and simple design highlights her beautiful flower so perfectly. 


Congratulations ladies - please grab our 'PBSC Favourite' badge for your blog!
