March Challenge 3/17

Hello and welcome back to our Challenge Blog post!  Let’s get down to announcing our February Challenge results!

The winner of our February Challenge is…. Olga Podobaeva (@olikka_m)!

Olga’s carefully composition Wild Peonies are so beautifully abstract and gorgeous.  The bright coloring of her peonies and foliage against the heat embossed elements were just perfect for last month’s Love Challenge.

Congratulations, Olga! Please email us at thetonstamps@gmail.com to claim your gift certificate and details on being our guest designer for our April Challenge!

HONORABLE MENTIONS

We wanted to showcase three additional projects that especially stood out to us:

Irina’s multi heat embossed Loose Peonies against her soft blended background were so eye catching!

Lisa’s gold heat embossed and bright pink Sending Peonies were so striking!

@akalpa.id’s untraditional warm color palette for her Always Cherry Blossoms totally caught our eye!

All of the entries were so creative and gorgeous and we’d like to thank everyone who participated for our February Challenge!

For this month’s Challenge, the cue word is… LUCKY!

The prize for this challenge will be a $50 gift certificate to our shop!
