Hello, and welcome to our first winners’ post for 2013! Our January contest has got you all thinking outside the box, and it’s been wonderful looking through all the fabulous entries and seeing lots of our new stamps on display. This year, we have a slightly new prize format; as well as our Fab Five - our favorite five projects, we also have a random winner too, chosen from ALL the entries. So, let’s see who caught the judges’ eyes this time round…

The first of our Fab Five is Erintaylor1 who used her new Inktense pencils to add bright pops of color to her Small Open Flowers. We love the contrast of white, kraft and bold colors on this fabulous birthday card.

Ivgupta(Isha) tried something new by stamping some of our background stamps onto her die cut feathers and also used three of the colors from our color challenge. We love everything about this vibrant and elegant card.

And how about this gorgeous ATC by Judkajudy. She used our Flutterbies and Old Letter Writing Printables, coloring her gorgeous butterflies with Copic markers and Distress Ink. The gems and stitching add the perfect finishing touches.

Barbghig tried something new by using the faux blackboard technique with our Stamp of the Week - Leafy Vines. We love the soft, chalky feel she has created here. So pretty.

Karin Akesdotter (PeppermintPatty) created an ATC sized greeting card with stamps from our Wonderful World set. Look at how beautifully she has colored her stamped image. Such incredible detail.

And finally for today, our January 2013A Random Winner is:

mimipipi craft (ayu).
