Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - May Challenge

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday post! It's a new month already and that means it is time for a new challenge! There were many wonderful entries last month and I decided to add top picks in addition to the random winner, so be sure to scroll down to see if you were the winner or a top pick.

For the  month of May I decided to set the theme of 

"For Ladies or Girls Only".

So get out your girly stamps, pretty florals, maybe ribbon or lace and make something pretty! I can't wait to see what you all come up with, and this should be an easy one....


I made a Clean and Simple Card today, using the Stamp Fluffy Passenger along with the Stencil set Oscillations.
Fluffy Passenger // Oscillations Stencil Set //  Rays Stencil // Tattered Rose Ink // Pumice Stone Ink // Stamp Platform

I stamped the image using Memento tuxedo ink (my go to ink when using copic markers) on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and then used copic markers for coloring. 


The Rays Stencil is by Stampers Anonymous. I used Tattered Rose Distress Ink  to add the sun ray design. One of the designs from the Penny Black  Oscillations Stencil Set was used to create a "road" pattern. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz's Quotations Sticker set. (Yes, I admit I'm a little bit addicted to this sticker set and wish it came with even more sentiments!)  Framed the image panel using some dotted designer paper by Prima Marketing. I don't think the pack I used is still available - I used the paper pack called "Something Blue". No blue papers though in this pack, I think it's meant to be wedding themed papers. The card base is a simple white Neenah Linen textured card stock 80lb weight.

A little close up below....

The prize this month is a 

$5.00 Gift Certificate to Mo Manning's Digital Pencil Store.

Please note, this prize is not sponsored by Mo Manning, the gift certificate will be purchased by me once I  have the winner's email address (as the recipient's email address is required to purchase gift certificates.)

There were some wonderful entries again last month, but there can only be one winner and therefore I decided to add a top 3 to the monthly challenge. First up is the winner, chosen by random.org
The lucky number was:
That is Vickie.

Congratulations Vickie, please be sure to email me at ellibelle_blog at yahoo dot com by May 16th to claim your prize.

I am so sorry but in order to comply with the new GDPR regulations, I decided to remove all links to the top picks/winner.

And now onto the top 3 in no particular order:


Nancy

Helen


Mary


Congratulations ladies, your top pick logo is below, feel free to post it to your blogs if you like to!


If you would like to join in this month's challenge, simply use the linky tool below.

Please remember to follow these simple guidelines:

You must follow the theme.
Enter up to 3 times with a new project.
You may combine with any other challenges.
Be sure to add a link back here to my blog.

Anyone not following these guidelines will unfortunately be disqualified from the drawing or top pick to  make it fair to all those following the rules. 


Please note: by joining and sharing in a linky party or challenge on this blog you grant the blog owner permission to post your first name, blog link and artwork you linked up here on this blog, should you be the selected winner/top pick of a challenge. Do not enter any linky tools if you do not agree to these terms. 

Furthermore, this is a public blog, meaning any papercraft you link up or any comments left on this blog will be visible and clickable by third parties. The blog owner is not responsible for republished content from this blog on other blogs or websites without permission. 

ETA: In order to comply with the new GDPR regulations, I have decided that all winners and top picks will be selected from non-EU entrants. It is my believe that if I post someone else's creation on my blog as a top pick, it should receive proper credit by linking to the top pick's blog (because isn't that why we share our creations in blog land), but because I do not want to break any regulations, I am no longer able to link to individual blogs from the EU. Thank you for understanding.
