Here are the designers' favourites  for TEW Challenge #(title):

# 2 Amy Y.






Unky says: What a wonderful halloween card with spider web embossing! Love the details and sentiment. especially the poison bottle. Love how you added virtual embossing with colouring! Love it!








Kay Says: I like this card by Red Obsession Cards for the lovely textures done in a very interesting technique and for the lovely colouring.








Leigh says:  My pick is #14 Chris....this is a very striking card from the textures to the colour palette and the play of soft against hard. The beautiful angel with her wings breaking the circle is so soft & ethereal against the hardness of the metallic embossed background layers.









# 8 Teresa






Bonnie says: The colour palette with the gorgeous build up of layers of ink is so striking. I especially love the way Teresa has cleverly used two different embossing patterns to create the sky and the sea. A beautiful tag with lovely colouring!

  • If using The East Wind images ~ unlimited entries
  • If using The East Wind images ~ enter with link to blog post and 2nd time with link to blog
  • Maximum 3 entries if using other images
  • Hand coloured and Crafted ~ NO DIGITAL COLOURING
*The Winner will get 3 digital stamps. 
*Each Designer's favorite receives 1 digi +30% off coupon code good for 7 days .


And now for some fabulous inspiration from TheEastWind Design Team.

We want to take the first challenge of October to acknowledge and offer our support to the valiant women who have or still are fighting this battle and to those who love and support them through this fight. Our theme for Challenge #64 is In the Pink. We want to see either a project to support Breast Cancer Awareness or a project mainly featuring the colour pink.

*The Winner will get 3 digital stamps. 
*Each Designer's favorite receives 1 digi +30% off coupon code good for 7 days .


And now for some fabulous inspiration from TheEastWind Design Team using the October image which is free for those who subscribe to The East Wind newsletter. She is called Ashley In the Pink.
