#3 Shona E

 How amazing is that warm yellow sky and how beautifully distinct the silhouettes look against it.

#13 Jane Willis

 

This silhouette scene was so atmospheric you could almost imagine yourself sitting on the bank watching it unfold. 

#19 Marianne

 

The vivid background colours really caught our eye and that cat - you can see him shivering with all that detailed fur sticking out.

Congratulations to you all.

#11 Tone

Such a wonderfully modern take on a confirmation card and so delightfully masculine. 

Love the zig-zag style!

 #14 Sue V

We were impressed that Sue had stamped onto metal for her spooktacular Halloween card. 

And she stamped that stripy background too!

#19 Christine Dring

 How fantastic do Christine's heat embossed metallic clock faces look! It may have been a painstaking business to clear all the excess embossing powder, but well worth the effort!

Congratulations to you all.
