Challenge #3 - Favourite Rubber Stamp (& why) and our DT Call Winners


Thank you to everyone who entered our last challenge. 
There were some fab entries, and we loved seeing them.

Our winner, selected at random is:


40 Any Old Craft

who said that her favourite colours were blue and white 
because it reminded her of winter snowballs.
What a lovely choice of colours, and a beautiful reason.
Thanks for your entry, it's beautiful and worthy of our winners prize this week.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Rubber Stamp & Why.
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.


Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:


Wow, this takes me right back to the start of my stamping addiction. 
The first stamps I bought were Penny Black, and my favourite characters have always been the hedgehog and mice.  
This stamp features both, so for me it's a great image.  
I love their cute expressions.
I've also used some of my other favourite stash, 
the oval nestie, lavish leaf and corner bow dies, 
gorgeous glittered cupcake papers, ribbons, flowers and pearls.



Samantha
Oh choosing 1 favourite is hard I soo love stamping
I love making Christmas cards through the whole year so for my Favourite stamp
I would have to say this Penny Black SlapStick Stamp, its very versatile and
makes a great impact.


Carol
Ooooo,what a hard decision this was, have so many favourites but went for cute, love Sarah Kay and it's been awhile since I got to play with any of them.




Mojca
Ok, this was really hard! Just one? 
Well if I just have to choose it would be Dancing with stars Tilda. 
She is just so cute!




Sarah

Almost impossible to choose, but this Whiff of Joy stamp is one of mine as it's a stamp for  the occasion when you have time to indulge yourself in some "grown-Up" colouring in!




Suzette

 I have so many favourite stamps but this one is the best, the reason why is because  I drew her base on my little 4 year's old character for Crafty Sentiments Designs, she is very cheeky but fun, there is also lots of open space on this image to colour in too.
 


We hope you agree that our new team has made some AMAZING cards for our challenge, and welcome them to the team.


But now it's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge, 

show us your style and showcase your 
Favourite Rubber Stamp & Why.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Hugs from the AYLI girls.
