No. 90 - Kavitha AngelicBadGirls's Thoughts: I just love the layout of this canvas and the colours she has used. All the elements are visible but yet complement each other perfectly. You can see the time that has been put into this project, Stunning work Kavitha. xx

Monica's Thoughts: I love the color combo she used on her project. I’ve been wanting to play around more with mixed media and projects like hers really inspire! Its BEAUTIFUL!!!

Susan's Thoughts: I had such a hard time choosing just one! You all are so talented! I narrowed it down to Kavitha's canvas. I just love how she added all the flowers in the one corner. I love the design, the colors. What a huge inspiration. It really makes me want to try additional canvas art. I love how everything is layered and that there is so much white as well. Just absolutely gorgeous!


Annette's Pick:

No. 61 - Lucy Patrick Annette's Thoughts: I have chosen this particular card because the creator has created an illusion of the digi actually sitting at the table plus the fact it’s winter, her choice of background paper gives the effect of snow. I also love how she has colored her digi and fussy cut it out to sit it behind the table.
