Julia Aston (#40)

Marsha's Rock Star:  My choice is #40.  Julia has created a wonderful card.  I love the way the brewed tea has stained the watercolour paper.  A vintage look with just a bit of colour.

Congratulations, Julia.  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.

Rose (#11)

Kath's Rocker:  Rose's card, "Believe", is bold and beautiful!  The colouring is absolutely wonderful!  A fun card all around.

Claire (#70)

Heidi's Rocker:  Claire has created a striking Anniversary card.  I love the white die-cut stringed heart against the white base.  By inlaying the heart with the wonderful coloured sections cut from the Yupo paper, she has made an already great card even more elegant and unforgettable.

Darnell (#66)

Karen's Rocker:  Darnell has created a most striking card.  Her Brushos background splashed with bleach resulted in a lovely creation.  A very special birthday card.

Steffi (#65)

Dawn's Rocker:  Steffi has made a beautiful CAS card with the gorgeous pastel ornaments.  It is a fabulous design.

Mac Mable #36 

Tristan's Rocker:  Mac has created a stunning card with papertowel - who would have thought to use something that would usually have been destroyed and add gold embossing to the edges?  Simply gorgeous.

Kristie (#30)

Michelle's Rocker:  Kristie has made a gorgeous rainbow of waves for her thank you card.  The white heat embossed sentiment just pops off the card!  So bright and cheery!

Milla (#67)

Helen's Rocker:  Milla has created a beautifully coloured CAS watercoloured card featuring a really fun little boy image!
