March - Technique Challenge Winners

Well, it appears that last week's Punch Art Challenge proved rather more difficult than we'd expected,  but we had two clear winners and the voting was tied.

So this week, the top slot is shared between two fabulous entries... 

Winners of the Punch Art Challenge

Meg

the Team thought Meg's entry was just beautiful -
lots of punched stars in shades of blue, to create a pretty Christmas wreath.

AND

Deborah

The Design Team was bowled over by this cute little punch art penguin,
and we all agreed that he is just adorable! 

Congratulations ladies - you may now collect your winner's badges to display on your blog.


Whilst all the entries were exceptional, our two winners most closely met our brief.
Thank you to everyone who shared their beautiful cards with us.

And we would love to see more of your wonderful work, so there's still time to join us for this week's sketch challenge ...

See you on Saturday for a brand new challenge!!

April Sketch Challenge

Welcome to 52CCT, where we like to create Christmas cards all year round! Thank you for your cards for the Punch Art Challenge last week, weren't they all fabulously creative? Check back later in the week for the roll of honour.

It is a brand new month and so we have a new hostess, Louise, who has chosen all the challenges for April. As usual we start the ball rolling with a sketch. This one is based on patchwork or paper blocking techniques. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it...

This week, we have a technique challenge for you from our hostess for this month, Gill. We would like you to create your card using punch art. 

Punch art is a great way to create fun images and get more use from your punches. You can use either dies or punches, or a combination of both, so you have lots to choose from.  We can't wait to see what you create ...

And now for some punch art inspiration from our Design Team ...
