We'd like to thank everyone who played along with our "Anything Goes" Challenge last week. There were many wonderful entries and the Watercooler Artists enjoyed visiting your blogs to see all of your great designs.

Starting us off is Marsha's choice for her winner.  She chose Dawn's beautiful CAS (clean and simple) design.  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for Honourable Mentions.

Dawn

Marsha's Winner:  I love this clean and simple design.  All the colors and techniques came together perfectly to make this elegant, beautiful card.

Congratulations, Dawn.  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as our challenge winner.

And now it's time to share this weeks' Watercooler Artists choices for our Honorable Mentions.

Preeti D

Gail's Choice:   Love the colours, the technique and how the image just pops against the navy with those enamel dots as the perfect finishing touch.

Charlotte E

Kath's Choice:  I love those huggable bears.  They are so adorable and perfectly colored!

Gerrina

Judy's Choice:  The coloring on this is truly spectacular! And it really works with the whole feel of the card!

Toni

Heidi's Choice:  Who can resist an aquatic unicorn, especially when it is coloured so beautifully. Toni has created an exquisite clean & simple card.

Harriet

Penny's Choice:   The boots on their own are a CAS image but paired with the abstracts and subtle colours of the background stamps which stretch from front to back makes this card a step above for me. I love it!

Karen Dunbrook

Fiona's Choice:  I love the vibrancy of the colour of those poppies and the gentle green masked off background.

Caroline

Libby's Choice:  Truly a 'pawsome' card! I love all the different coloring of the dogs. It's a fun card, without a bark! (Yes, puns intended!)

Preeti, Charlotte, Gerrina, Toni, Harriet, Karen and Carloine here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you as an Honourable Mention.

Our Watercooler Artists had a lot of fun with this challenge.  You can see from the variety of projects, just how diverse an "anything goes" challenge can be.  There really are no limits.  Check out the wonderful samples and then think about what you would like to create.
