WWC179 - The Winners!

Tuesday has come round again and it's time to announce our Rock Star and Rockers for Heidi's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge.  But first, we'd like to thank all those who played along with us.  Your entries this week were awesome!  You all continue to make it harder and harder on us to make our choices as we think you are all stars.  Well done!

Heidi's choice for our Watercooler Rock Star is Tristan's fantastic extreme surfer card design.  Well done!  Following the winner are the Watercooler Artists choices for the Watercooler Rockers.

#21 Tristan (Tinstar Designs)

Heidi's Winner:  Tristan's card simply blew me away. The silhouette of the surfer, the background papers, and the colours were perfect for this design, especially combined with the puffy paint outlining the crest of the waves.

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

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

#1 Chris

Marsha's Choice:  The scene Chris created to showcase Horace is nicely done.  I like the way she added the patterned papers to make it so realistic a setting.  I loved this image as it is so reminiscent of an older gentleman that I once knew.

#11 Natasa (NatsPaperWorld)

Gail's Choice:  It has some great masculine elements such as the steam engine and I love the addition of the clothing tag.

#5 Toni (Toni at FHC)

Crystal's Choice:  Her adorable cowboy scene was fitting for a masculine theme and the coloring was very impressive!

#5 Rijacki's Workshop

 Kath's Choice:  Rijacki's Otter card is adorable! The paper works so well with the images.

#17 Ruth (Tip Top Toppers)

Helen's Choice:  This is such a cute image, beautifully coloured which works so well with the background papers.

#13 Linda (loopyloocards)

Charlotte's Choice:  I love the cute otters in their individual circles. The wave patterns made by experimenting with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens work wonderfully. Really fun and sweet design.

Congratulations, Chris, Natasa, Toni, Rijacki, Linda and Ruth.  Here is your badge to proudly display on your blog designating you one of our Watercooler Rockers.

There you have our Rock Star and Watercooler Rockers lineup for this week!  Be sure to come back tomorrow, July 25th, for our next Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  You won't want to miss out on all the wonderful designs by our Watercooler Artists.
