The Gossip Column with Taheerah Atchia No. 3 | Hot Gossips + Gossip Queen Announced

Welcome back, fellow Gossipers! We've been so thrilled with the response to the latest issue of The Gossip Column! We continue to be ever thankful all for your kind words, comments, shares, and your enthusiasm for this exciting new feature on the w&w blog!

We were bowled over by the quality of each and every entry - you really seemed to channel your inner Jocelyn and we were so impressed!!

Just to recap, for this challenge we wanted to see you channel your inner Jocelyn Olson and create a card using elements of her signature style, or CASE one of her creations but put your own spin on it! We loved the results - some of the entries were off-the-scale amazing!!

We thought long and hard, and finally arrived at our decision for this column's Hot Gossips (runner-ups) and Gossip Queen (winner)!!

Drumroll please...

Hussena created a stunning CASE of one of Jocelyn's cards! Her layering, composition, colours and sprinkling of embellishments were all spot-on but introduced her own style in places too! I loved the wonderful embossing, white space and those gorgeous watercoloured blooms! Hussena this card is definitely Hot Gossip!!

Penny Ward's amazing card kept us mesmerised with that amazing background embossing! I loved how she turned white space on its head, using grey as her main colour - but at the same time this card doesn't feel oppressive, it feels light and is such a great twist! The remaining elements are perfectly placed and very Jocelyn-inspired! Penny this stunner rightfully makes you Hot Gossip!!

And that brings us to our geometric-tastic Gossip Queen...

 Diane Jaquay... her card channelled Jocelyn's style to a T! With fantastic pops of colour, clever negative die cutting, perfect positioning of elements and just all-round *wow*, this card packed a punch in all the right ways, was light, bright and fantastic! I couldn't help but name her Gossip Queen!!


Hussena and Penny you both win a $15 credit to the w&w store, and Diane you walk away with a $30 credit! Congratulations!! Please contact info {at} winniewalter {dot} com to claim your prizes!!

Please join us in congratulating these fantastic ladies and their amazing creations!! Everyone's entries were of such a high standard and you all deserve the plaudits too!! Please do take some time to browse the gallery to see everyone's work - you can find them at the bottom of the last The Gossip Column here.

For all you Gossipers who are keen to get the latest scoop, issue 4 of The Gossip Column will be hot off the press on Friday 7th August! We'll see you back here to get the exclusive on the latest gossip then!!

'Til then - keep on gossiping!
