PP401 - A Colour Challenge From Joanne

Hello everyone!  Joanne here and it is my pleasure to be the hostess of The Paper Players this week! A big thank you to everyone that played along with our Celebration Theme Challenge and joined the party to celebrate our 400th anniversary - our gallery was amazing and many of you left wonderful comments in support of our weekly challenges which we all truly appreciate. We will be back on Wednesday to announce the 41 winners of the prizes donated by our wonderful sponsors. 

Meanwhile today I have a bright, vibrant colour challenge for you! These colours work beautifully for flowers, as you will see from many of the Design Team cards this week, but don't be constrained by this; there are many other ways these colours could be used so use your imaginations - I look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Have fun - we can't wait to see what you create!

PP400 Challenge Winners

Hi Everyone, Jaydee here.   Well, that was quite a party!  Huge thanks to all of you who played along and helped us celebrate and, once again, a huge thank you to all of our challenge sponsors. 

We really enjoyed seeing the fabulous creations in our gallery and it was hard to choose our winning design entries this week.

Before we get to my choice for Headliner, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week.

And the Design Team selections for A Cut Above are....

1. Sandy: Lise's dolphins seem to just leap off the card! Gorgeous coloring and an amazing background!	2. Elizabeth's Choice: I love Arleen's distressed stenciled balloons! So siimple and elegant! Congrats	3. Joanne's Choice: Dawn's rainbow of diecuts absolutely call for a celebration - fabulous!	4. LeAnne's Choice: Heather's gorgeous vintage card is warm and wonderful, soft and pretty! Congrats!
5. Annie's Choice: Nance's adorable critters in the tropical jungle are so "wild" & fun! Congrats!	6. Laurie: Birgit's colorful Birthday celebration card is so fun!Congrats!	7. Claire's choice: Toni’s rainbow bouquet of puffer fish is Fin-tastic and made me SMILE! BRAVO!	8. Nance's choice: Elivs the elephant and his bokeh buddies caught my eye and captured my heart!
9. Jan's Choice: Esther's card was so perfectly executed, I could almost smell the flowers! Gorgeous!

And now for our Headliner:

Nancy

Scrapper at Heart 

 

Nancy's card is breathtaking.  The flowers and leaves are beautifully arranged around the heart and the balance is offset perfectly by the sentiment.  There is so much interest in the flowers with the watercolor effect and the popped elements with the nuovo drops are the perfect finishing touch.   Nancy, congratulations on being the HEADLINER on our 400th challenge. 

 

We hope you will play along with us for Joanne's color challenge tomorrow.  

 

We will be back on Wednesday to announce the winners of our sponsored prizes.
