And now, LeAnne's choice for Headliner:


Helen's amazing card first caught my eye because of the wonderful color combination she used, but when I looked at her design more closely, and saw the detail of the chevrons, I was over-the-top mesmerized!  You must look at it closely to see how clever it is!  The gold-embossed circular element and her fun tag added to the "wow" factor! Congratulations, Helen, on creating this fabulous card and winning the Headliner spot for this week!

Challenge #196: Ann's Clean and Simple Floral Challenge




Welcome to The Paper Players! This week I have the honor of being your hostess. I have selected a Clean and Simple challenge for you this week, with a floral theme.  Although clean and simple cards are often associated with "white space" and minimal embellishments, we feel that if it is clean and simple to you, it is clean and simple to us.  What is important is that you have fun! Before you run off to ink up those floral stamps, let's take a look at what the design team has created for your inspiration:

I thought Beth’s stunning one layer card really allowed the challenge colors to shine! I love the flowers all clustered together in a corner leaving lots of white space, and the embossed white sentiment just pops! Congrats on being my headliner for this week, Beth! Well done!

I loved the color scheme of Kimberley's card.  I also love the fussy cut fuschia hanging from the branch leading yur eye straight to the sentiment.  The textured white layer anchors the whole compilation.  It's bold, bright and stunning.  Congratulations, Kimberly on being my HEADLINER this week
