With its vibrant colors and rich texture, Charissa's card really stood out in the gallery.   Her use of color is balanced, with the different elements working together to provide cohesiveness.  Candy dots and ruffled ribbons are the perfect accents.

And now, Jaydee's choice for Headliner:



I immediately fell in love with Lee-Anne's creative take on the challenge.  Those little rolled vases are fabulous and the flower heads look as though they have been blown by a gentle breeze and their placement helps to balance the vases on the left.  This card is artfully composed and beautifully crafted.  lee-Anne, congratulations on being our Headliner this week
