August 13, 2013
Let’s have some fun with our new Design Contest: Simply the Best. We’re looking for your best card design, the one that makes you sit back, smile, and feel satisfied at a job well done. One submission per artist, please. To submit, leave the card’s URL in a comment on this post. Deadline is August 19, 2013.
On August 20, I will open the contest for voting.
The artist who receives the most votes will win a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate OR 5 free card credits.
Good luck!

It’s not my best card but it is a very good seller and it does make me grin *blush* and smile in a cheeky kind of way.

I love the little girl on this card, and the green frog! Very innocent and sweet.

Here is a card I designed for my daughter on her anniversary latter I developed a series for other family relations, The image is part of a much larger lighthouse image that I made into another card series both of which sell very regularly.

http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/50th-birthday-cards/50th-birthday-marbles-608937?aid=132110 i have always loved marbles anyway, but, the fact that Elijah, an 80 year old gentleman, collected these makes them especially special.
I just giggle when I look at this camel “Max” who has been a part of our community for many years. This card is one of my newest in a series for specific relationships.

Here’s mine, Brown Bear’s Christmas Wreath. My dad is fond of bears – so I created this Ink & watercolor design with him in mind. I love how brown bear is looking at you with a twinkle in is eyes.
Here is one of my favorites…I just LOVE red hair and pony tails.

I designed this one for my Mom and really liked the way it turned out…..not my normal “style” but I think I will do others like it in the future. It’s been a pretty good seller for me too!

Here’s mine. These two cats came into the fold totally unsocialized and ended up bonding together and are the best of friends. Bobby, the grey, worships Katie the calico. http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/thinking-of-you-cards/friend/thinking-of-you-friend-two-cats-455951?gcu=43259065993
Here’s a card I created using my still life oil painting … a “serious” artwork with a light-hearted message! http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/elopement-weve-eloped-announcements/general-elopement-announcements/elopement-announcement-painting-of-cantaloupe-956143?aid=133459
I would like to enter this card. This is a picture of my Westie dog Stanley looking intelligent with his glasses. I thought it would make a great series for Birthday Cards.
You forgot the URL, Ginger.

I like this Holidays card very much – it’s one of my first real card-designs, and I like how the design enhances the photo, and the photo enhances the card 🙂

I was wondering, who can vote for the cards? Other GCU artist only or can anyone vote? Do people have to have a WordPress account to vote? Thanks, John Johnson
When voting opens (on August 20) anybody can vote, not just artists. Which is why we always encourage artists to use social media, etc. to invite their family and friends to vote for them.

Is voting open yet? I was thinking it started this morning?

Very beautiful card! Gary M.
This card makes me home sick; I want to go see my Mother.
This is the best card on the website.
I’m going to order a bunch of these cards!
