May winners

Good morning, after a super month of Beautiful Blooms it's time to announce the winner, featured Designer and Top 3.

Before I tell you about the winner, myself and the team would like to extend a big thank you for all your warm words of support over the Social Media issues mentioned in our post below. It saddens us all that a crafter can be so malicious feeling the need to have a public vituperative outburst in what is usually such a happy crafting community, but thankfully is in the minority.
                                         
Chocolate Baroque is a small independent art and craft company, based in the historic market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham in the North-East of England and is owned and run by Lesley and David Wharton. 

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from hand drawn originals, complemented by typography from Lesley.  The rubber stamps are made in house, by David, to our very exacting quality standards. And nothing gets past his eagle eye!

And the winner as selected by Random Or., of the voucher for an A4 stamp set or stamps to the value from Chocolate Baroque is.....
