PaperPlayers Challenge #142 Winners

Wow!   Your creations this week left me speechless.  Many of you stated that you were worried about creating a one layer card, or that you found it a real challenge.  However, you rocked the challenge and didn't make it look difficult at all.  There really were some gorgeous cards in the gallery.  I was thrilled that so many of you joined us this week.

Before we get to my selection for Headliner, however, let's have a look at the Design Team's selections for A Cut Above.

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

1. Brian's choice: Lisa has won my heart with this gorgeous water colored piece of art. Simple, yet stunning. Congratulations, Lisa, on being my choice!	2. Amy's Choice: Though limited to one layer of card stock, Vicky has shown that layers of stamping cans be just as beautiful as layers of pretty paper. Congrats, Vicky!	3. Nance's choice: Paru's brilliant use of the sketch and perfect placement of images and sentiment made for a fabulous and trendy one-layer card. Congrats, Paru!
4. Ann's Choice: With a simple embossed frame and perfect image placement, Lizy's card is an example of CAS perfection. Congrats on being my pick!	5. Justin's Choice: Andrea's monochromatic card is soft and pretty. The band across the middle gives it some nice dimension.

Congrats Sue!

  And now for our Headliner:

 Andrea

Stamping Moments

 

Andrea's triptych image is beautifully composed.  I felt as though I was looking through a window into a summer field with a gorgeous blue sky.  The sentiment was perfect for the images.  I went back to this card again and again.  I was drawn to the colors, the beautifully executed sponging and the perfect placement of the image and sentiment.   This card is a perfect example of a true one layer card and perfectly highlighted how stunning a OLC can be.   Congrats, Andrea, on being my headliner this week. 
Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the fantastic challenge our very own Ann has in store for us!
