Jackie says: This is exquisite. Every element works beautifully together. The autumnal colours are so pretty here. Excellent card, well done!


Vicky Says: I really love the fabulous distressed look of that frame!!!  I tried doing crackle finish without any success, so I'm amazed with that piece.  Love the addition of the butterfly on the frame.


Susan says: Wow!! This is gorgeous! The watercoloring.. the different corn.. the embossing! This really screams fall to me and I think it is an amazing creation!! I really Love it!! Gorgeous! 


Bonnie says: I love that Hanne used this pirate image for a fall theme. The colours are rich and bold, the map background so fun, and the leaves add lovely pops of colour. Wonderful colouring of this image...look at those eyes!

Here are the designers' favourites  for TEW Challenge #14 (Princess Birthday) 


Bettina says:  Gorgeous princess. Love the sparkly colours and love the vintage layers.


#20 Kaija

Donna says: I love the beautiful bold coloring of the image and the delicate girly embellishments that let her shine.  That little green butterfly picks up the gorgeous green of her eyes so well.  ADORABLE!



Kyra says: I totally admire this super girly girl card! love the tiny clay flowers and the fluffy one gives a different texture to the card! gorgeous pinky colouring as well with glitter!  It couldn't be more appropriate to the theme ^^ great work Lucy ;) love your name!   


#3 Laila 


Mo says: This is a stunning easel card! I love the choice of image - definitely my idea of a Birthday Princess and so different from the very girly girly entries. I love the colour palette, the layout and embellishments, and fabulous colouring.
