Hello! It’s time to announce our second lot of winners for our February contest! And once again, judging has been near impossible. With nearly 400 submissions uploaded to our Flickr pool for Round 2 alone, you can see why! But we studied hard, and here are seven of our favorites for this month.

Our Fresh Face is nedergaard - Denmark, who combined all three of our monthly themes to create this lovely card. Her interpretation of Sketch #2 is stunning, and we couldn’t love her color scheme more.

Our Digital winner this time is lbpost20 who used our Field Flowers Digikit to create this pretty pink friendship card. Look at the lovely dots of black and white in the center of each flower - such a cute detail.

And now our Fab Five, five of our favorite projects, presented in no particular order. Just like our Fresh Face and Digital winners, every member of the Fab Five will receive a $50 Hero Arts shopping spree.

First up, rhea1967 who created this stunning pair of colorful cards. We love the way she has popped the stamp from our Very Special set on the die cut, and her coloring is just fabulous.

Next we have eleiphart and her super fun Hello card.  The Zig Zag background creates the perfect backdrop for all the cleverly combined elements, and the rainbow colors work brilliantly. Fabulous!

Apricot Bubbles has combined the die cutting and Hello themes to create this gorgeous, multi-textured card. Our Flower Lady looks so glamorous combined with feathers, tissue paper and pearls.

Dotukas‘ sweet card features our Tree Trunk stamp - and we have never seen it looking so colorful. The lovely layered papers in the background and adorable pair of buttons really make this a stand out card!

And finally, Peppermint42 (Karin). We think this is the most beautiful masculine card we have ever seen! The combination of stamps from our Past Times set, with the Friendly Flags and Type lettering set is genius, and those mini clothespins are adorable!

Congratulations winners! Please contact us at winner@heroarts.com with your address and phone number, and also include your list of $50 worth of product by Thursday, March 8th.

And, it’s the first of the month, which means it’s time to announce the details of our March contest!

This month, we’d love to see your cards and projects featuring flowers. We also have a color challenge to get your creative juices flowing, and our monthly technique is velveteen stamping. Shari Carroll’s March technique article & video will introduce you to this innovative stamping idea. Round 1 entries are due by 11:59pm PST on Thursday, March 15th. Please upload all entries to our Flickr pool and don’t forget to tag them with March2012A for the first round. You could win a $50 Hero Arts shopping spree! All of the contest details can be found here.

Good luck, and have fun!
