And now here are the highlights. The girls in the design team picked an entry to highlight. It's the entry that uniquely impacted us in some way -- a specific technique that was used, the colors, the creativity, or something in it that touched or impacted us.

#14 Mona Pendleton

Yasmina says, "I always love Mona's cards! I really love this masculine card, the texture, the colors."

#29 Pon Malar

Sanna says, "I really liked the idea of this card as well as the landscape design! Gorgeous colors and texture/detail on the landscape circle! Sadly we can only pick one favorite, there were so many more fabulous cards on this round that also would deserve a honorable mention!"

#15 Tone K

Julia says, "What wonderful layering of metal, resin, pastes and inks on Tone's lovely creation!"

Lysa says, "I just love the color, texture and depth this card has. I love the white space, it makes the colors pop. Gorgeous!"

#7 Toni at FHC

Elina says, "Gorgeous vibrant colours and a beautiful design. That poinsettia really pops!"

Maria F. says, "Toni's use of color just grabbed my attention, again and again."

#13 Autumn

#28 Toni at FHC

Lee-Anne says, "Love how the beautiful green pines pop against the blue background. Simple and so beautiful!"

#21 Lilian YF

Melissa says, "Washi meets Winter Bunny is so sweet! Oh, how cute is this perfectly Copic colored little rabbit? Lillian's beautiful splattery, glittery, joyful washi background tickled my CAS and mixed media loving heart! :)"
