Results of Challenge #530

  

Hello Everyone!

Di here - popping back in the middle of Sarn's challenge - to reveal my Top Picks and the prize winner for Challenge #530.

Here are my top picks (in entry order): 

First pick is Kath with a super snippets card. I love seeing cards where the focus is on using purely snippets, in a way that many of us can use as inspiration, this card fits the bill perfectly:

Next came Gail with a perfect desert scene, using plenty of snippets as well. It's a delightful card and there was a deceptive amount of detail in creating it - great work:

And, last but not least, Tina raced in waving her entry.  A perfect rainy day card and one I would love to CASE at some point. So clever to stencil leaving the area underneath the umbrella dry. Gorgeous work Tina!

If you've been showcased, please feel free to collect your 'Top Pick' badge from HERE. 

The randomly picked winner is:
