WWC207 - The Watercooler Rock Star and Rockers

Drum roll, please!  It's Tuesday and time to announce our Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers for Helen's Feminine "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 Marina's lovely paper-pieced printed flower design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#22 Marina

Helen's Winner:  Marina's use of text on the largest flower in this pretty bouquet was on of the clever design elements which took this simple black and white card to the next level!

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

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

#3 Rocky

Heidi's Choice:  Rocky has created such a compelling card with those awesome colours in the splatter. I love the heat embossed eye with the whites coloured in and the gorgeous tiny little jewels along the centre pattern of the eyebrow. Definitely well named with "My Eye is on You".

#10 Sue

Marsha's Choice:  Sue has created a gorgeous background to showcase those stunning flowers.  A beautiful and well thought out design.

#31 Cornelia (fun stamping)

The background colours are great and pick up on the coloured stripes on the cat. I like that the focal image is not centered, yet the design is balanced by the sentiments.

#34 - Caroline (KISS)

Tristan's Choice:  Caroline has created a fabulous pink ombré background that showcases the gold sentiment and dots beautifully.

#23 Ruth (Tip Top)

Dawn's Choice:  Tip Top has coloured the girl image beautifully. The balance on the card is very pleasing to the eye with the PP strip and the vellum circle. The faux stitching finishes the card perfectly.

#12 Sharon (Glittertastic)

Donna's Choice:   Sharon has created such a sweet card. Love her coloring of the little birds in shades of purple and lilac. Her composition and use of pattern paper to frame the birds is quite perfect!

#11 Betty

Charlotte's Choice:  Betty's pretty florals stand out beautifully against that fun background. I love the soft colours, and the gold splatter finishes it off perfectly.

#21 Trina

Karen's Choice:  Trina’s card is so eye-catching. Beautiful stamping, masking, ink blending and stenciling.

#4 Angie Cimbalo (Cimbacreativefun)

Kath's Choice:  If sweets really are happiness then this card has got you covered. The back background shows off the image perfectly. It is an all-around fun card.

Congratulations Rocky, Sue, Cornelia, Caroline, Ruth, Sharon, Betty and Trina!  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as one of our Watercooler Rockers.

That's our lineup for this weeks' Watercooler Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, February 13th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.

#37 Gerrina

Heidi's Choice:   Gerrina has combined the gorgeous Penny Black "The Artist" image with hand-drawn and coloured walls behind her in the Mondrian style. The "no-line" technique used on the image makes the entire creation appear to be hand-drawn and coloured. Simply beautiful!
