WWC221 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers

Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Tristan's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  But first, we'd like to thank all those who played along with us.  Beautiful entries that make our choices so much harder, but we think you are all stars.  Well done!

Tristan's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Vicki's interactive turtle card design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#7  Vicki

Tristan's Rock Star: I love her interactive card with that adorable turtle stuck upside down till he gets a helping tug! Vicki's
created a lovely scene and I love the texture she's added with the DSP and twine crosses.

 Congratulations Vicki!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as our Watercooler Rock Star.

Next up are all the wonderful designs that caught the eyes of the other Watercooler Artists for our Watercooler Rockers.  They are shown in no particular order.

#17  Lynne

Michelle's Rocker:  I love the scene Lynne has created with those darling row of birds.  The different coloured wings make them all individuals!  Beautiful card, Lynne.

 

#2  Claire

Karen's Rocker: Claire has created a very nice Father's Day card.  I love her dramatic skyline, fun sentiment and adorable "Supper Pup".

#18  AJ

Dawn's Rocker:  AJ’s gnomes are so colourful and fun. Love the sentiment background with the various hello sentiments. Everything looks great together.

#5  Marjut

Kath's Rocker:  The hot air balloon is such a cute image. The colors are perfectly masculine, too. A great overall card.

#15  Cathy R

Heidi's Rocker:  Cathy has worked real magic in creating the colours for that awesome dinosaur and the "prehistoric" background. Having the dinosaur stomp his way across the amazing die-cut sentiment finishes the card off perfectly.

#20  Rijacki

Helen's Rocker:  I just love the fascinating panel Rijacki has created with a combination of gloss transparent texture paste and alcohol inks! So eye-catching!!!

#10  Lois

Donna's Rocker:  Lois has created an adorable kitty card for her vet that is sweet and simple, but makes a big impact. The look on the cat's face is exactly how I'd imagine her vet see's many of his patients! I love the way Lois colored the cat and raised the figure above the card to give it depth.

#8  Angie Cimbalo

Marsha's Rocker:  Angie has created a wonderfully clean and simple Father's Day card. I really like the background she created behind the cactus.

Congratulations Lynne, Claire, AJ, Marjut, Cathy, Rijacki, Lois and Angie!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as one of our Watercooler Rockers.
