PP530 Challenge Winners

What wonderful cards graced the gallery this week! There was so much variety, ranging from whimsical critters to stunning florals, and more. Even Big Ben and a gnome on a snail made their appearances! You certainly made my challenge a challenge for me to pick just one Headliner.  However, before we get to my choice, let's see what caught the eye of the Design Team this week:

And now for our Headliner:

Gem E.S.

I absolutely adored this clean and fabulous "Courage" card by Gem E.S.  The fussy cut lion accented the sentiment perfectly. The saying, printed on vellum, is so inspiring, and I LOVED how the final line was printed on white card stock for emphasis. If I was the recipient of this card, I would frame it! Congratulations on being my pick for Headliner this week!

Once 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 lovely Theme Challenge from Claire!

And now for our Headliner:

Jolanda - Inque Spot Studio

Jolanda's "purr-fectly" sweet little kitty looked so calm and serene, and the color palette she used was just delightful!  Her use of texture and layers added a lot of interest while still keeping her card clean and simple!  Congrats, Jolanda, for being my Headliner this week!

And now for our Headliner:

Annie

Apaperhug

I love Annie's bold and graphic use of the colors.  That multiple speech bubble background is fabulous, especially with that wonderful focal sentiment.  The little red heart ties the background to the foreground and that silver and white ribbon is the perfect finishing touch.  Congrats, Annie, you are our HEADLINER this week.
