What a massive turnout we had for our Embossing challenge! Wow - such amazing entries! I KNOW that our host for that challenge, Karen, had a massive headache trying to sort out her favourites.

Congratulations, Sientje! Here is what Karen had to say about your card -

"It was so hard to pick my CAS perfectionist as there were so many gorgeous entries for this challenge. However Sientje's entry stood out from all the others with her dramatic red and white scheme. The white embossed poppy flower over the three shades of red was stunning. CAS at it's very best."

#3 Brigit

Marie says -

I loved Brigit's card from the moment I set eyes on it from the beautiful textured card to the soft delicate colours . I couldn't believe this was a stamp more like a watercolouring painting and loved how she carried the green through to her base card. The tiniest amount of glitter and the lovely layering really enhanced this beautiful image for me CAS perfection

JOANNA MUNSTER FROM INSPIRED BY STAMPING

Here is a little about Joanna -

Hi my name is Joanna Munster, owner/designer/illustrator of Inspired by Stamping. I started crafting 11 years ago when I started capturing my daughter’s special moments with scrapbooking. I quickly fell in love with all things crafty including cross stitch, crocheting, knitting, drawing, jewelry making but my love has always been towards the paper craft industry. It is a place where I can lose myself in creating for hours.

Two years ago, my hubby, myself and our three children moved from the United States to Australia. While waiting for my working visa, I started drawing and paper crafting full time with my blog. One of my dear friends suggested that I make a stamp set with one of my drawings and this is where Inspired by Stamping started. I love every moment of working in this industry from the beautiful women and men that I meet daily, to the amazing designs that I see with an Inspired by Stamping set. October 15th 2012, we celebrate our first year of Inspired by Stamping and it is exciting to say that we are growing and expanding! :)

Joanna is offering this prize to the winner of this challenge -

$20 GIFT VOUCHER
