and the winner is ...

Hi Folks

Well it is finally time to announce our winner of the 'Layers' Challenge back in July!  Isn't time moving so fast! I have hardly had a chance to put my pc on lately let alone craft;  i have just been out and about in some of the beautiful weather we've had and gardening. We have had a brand new deck put in our garden and it's super - i'm just out on it all the time :)

so I am really sorry this post is a little late announcing our winner. 

Well, what a challenge it was in July wow! We had 217 entries which was super A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

Picking a winner from all of those and such wonderful cards was sooooooooooooooo difficult, but I have to choose just one winner so the winning card is ..... number 176!

ALYCE

And here is Alyce's winning card....



Isn't it just gorgeous.  I am sure you will agree with me that this card was a worthy winner.  I love all the layers in the card and so it depicts the challenge really well.  What wonderful colouring WOW!  I just love how all the layers and embellishments have come together for such an amazing amount of depth and richness.

Alyce, thank you for sharing it with us.  If you email me, you can choose a paper collection from the SHOP.

Really beautiful all of them huh!?!   (ladies if you want to take a 'special mention' badge for your blogs, please help yourself, they are on the left side of the craftroom blog).  And thank you so much for joining us.

I will see you again soon, hopefully with lots and lots of fabby inspiration from our lovely Design Team for our August mid month reminder for the 'Lime & Lilac Summery' Challenge.

So, that's all for now, I hope you have a great weekend everyone - and that you have sunshine where you are :)
