PP632 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Ann

Hey, Stampers! It's Ann! Before I unveil our latest challenge, The Paper Players would like to thank everyone who joined in LeAnne's bright and cheerful color challenge. What fun cards greeted us in the gallery!  But now it's time for Clean-and-Simple week. I'm ready for Spring, and I hope you are, too! The theme I have selected for you is: Spring Has Sprung! Please feature a flower on your Clean-and-Simple card.


Remember, when The Paper Players refer to a Clean-and-Simple card, we mean a card that:
  • Has minimal layers and embellishments
  • Has plenty of open space, aka "white" space
  • Is simple and uncluttered
We can't wait to see what YOU create. But first, please check out these amazing cards from our Design Team:

There were some fabulous entries, but Trina's sweet bunny, caught in the act of enjoying someone's carrot crop, totally made me smile. Her simple gingham border and beautifully coloured image made for sweet Easter greetings - besides, that bunny butt is just too cute! Congratulations Trina on being my Headliner this week!

PP629 Challenge Winners

Happy Saturday.
Thank you to all of you who played along with our sketch challenge this week.  It was wonderful to see so many diverse creations made from a single sketch.  As always, you made it very difficult for us to choose our winners as there were so many wonderful choices.

Before we get to our Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of our design team:

And now to our HEADLINER:

Carol


I loved how Carol used pops of color to make your eye immediately go to the focal images.  Matching the bottom of the glass frames to the color of the cup and saucer was a genius way to make your eye connect the two elements.  Then, let's talk about the sugar on the spoon!!! Genius move!  The mat adds interest and texture and works so well to separate the base of the card from the focal images without drawing away from them.  Stunning CAS card.  Congratulations, Carol on being my HEADLINER this week.

Again, thank you to everyone for playing along with us.  Congratulations to all our winners!  Please be sure to pick up your badges here. We hope you will display them proudly.  Come back tomorrow for a wonderful Theme Challenge from Joanne.
