Top Picks Challenge #343 and Reminder Post - Challenge #344 - Use Stencils (Optional Twist: Geometric)

  Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, July 4th at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #344 - Use Stencils - found HERE.

**Second, the gallery was filled with 12 wonderful mood board inspired cards; not a huge number but the quality makes up for quantity with a dozen clever, creative cards.  Narrowing the field to three Top Picks is, as always, a challenge...

Our Top Picks:

Carolyn

Caroline's card captures the colours - and indeed, some of the shapes - of the mood board wonderfully. 

Kerry

Kerry's seagulls are smile-makers; a delightful take on the colours from the mood board.

Carol Mc

Carol's zesty citrus card is a clever take on the shapes and colours inspired by the mood board. The acetate front panel adds an eye-catching touch. 

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge #344 - Use Stencils (Optional Twist - Geometric)

 June 21 - July 4

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're joining us.

Our popular Use Stencils Challenge - with the optional twist of Geometric - begins today, June 21, and runs until July 4th. The hardest part of this challenge: deciding which stencils you want to showcase. Stencils have come a long way, especially with the ever-evolving layered versions. We're looking forward to seeing the inky delights you'll dazzle us with over the next two weeks.

Optional Twist: Geometric
