{DECEMBER & JANUARY WINNERS}

Hi, everyone! The winners of the December 2017 and January 2018 challenges are finally here. Since the STAMPlorations girls were on vacation in December, there was no voting. Instead, winners were randomly drawn. Thank you so much for your patience!

An important note about our winners post: winners (challenges and blog hops) of the previous month are announced in one post (this one). All winners must claim their prizes by the deadline. If you are a regular player in our challenges or participant in our blog hops and special events, please consider following our blog, even signing up to receive email notifications when new posts are published. You'll find those links on the right side bar. 

Also, please make sure you follow our challenge rules. There were a few January players who would have won (voted by the team) but were disqualified because they either (a) did not display the challenge graphic in their blog post OR (b) did not directly link back to the challenge post. In such cases, we move on to the next players who received the most number of votes (after we have verified that they have followed the challenge rules).

{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Puts the Spotlight on Emboss Resist and Brushos

Hi, Cornelia here today, using emboss resist as my technique. It is super simple and I always love the effect you get with Brushos or similar pigment powders.

 I made two different cards, using two different blues shade for card #1 and only the color named gamboge for card #2. If you wondering about that color name  - I googled it for you:

Gamboge is a partially transparent deep saffron to mustard yellow pigment. It is used to dye Buddhist monks' robes because the color is a deep tone of saffron, the traditional color used for the robes of Theravada Buddhist monks.
