September First Round Winners!
Hello and welcome to the first of our September winners’ posts! We had some beautiful entries submitted for this month’s themes, and we’ve loved seeing our Flickr pool full of Autumnal oranges and browns. So, without further ado, let’s see who has caught the judges’ eyes this month…
Our Fresh Face is astylovestomakecards. We love the way she has interpreted our color challenge, and how she has created her flower using a leaf stamp from our Layered Flowers set. So creative!

In the Digital category, our winner is Jocelyn Olsen. She used our digital Poinsettia die, available at our Silhouette store, to create this pretty birthday card! What a lovely Spring bloom, and a great way to get more from your holiday product!

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, it’s Stampin Sue, with this fall beauty. Her leaves, from our Real Leaves set, are stamped in distress inks spritzed with water for a stunning watercolor effect. Gorgeous!

Next, ChristineKartenchaos who used holiday stamps in a very unique way. Her flower is created with ornaments from our Hanging Christmas Ornaments stamp. We love the ink splatters too!

Marcyk924 created this pretty and elegant fall themed card. Look at the way she has used the kissing technique for her background. How fabulous.

Pia Overgaard is our next winner. She has used a Halloween stamp from our Halloween Moon set to create this happy, all occasion greetings card.

And finally, Stamping and Stitching, whose textured masterpiece uses colors from our color challenge. We think the Earth Flowers look stunning stamped on fabric.
