As mentioned in the post on 1 November 2014, there is now an "Artist's Choice Award" every month. To be in with a chance of winning this award you need to use one of Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps from her
Etsy Store for your card/creation. At the end of the month Ching-Chou Kuik will look at all those cards/creations using one of her digital stamps from the
Etsy Store and pick one winner that will get the "Artist's Choice Award" and will also get to pic 3 digital stamps of their choice from the
Etsy Store.
Ching-Chou Kuik certainly had a lot of beautiful cards/creations to choose from but the winner of the "Artist's Choice Award is No 19:

floral ATC by Susan. Congratulations Susan.
