Crystal Ramos

Snap Color Paste

Crystal's gorgeous Gerbera Daisies caught my eye at the beginning of the week and I just kept coming back to them.  The big, bold and bright blooms filled the frame and made me smile.  I love the way the gray centers of the flowers made the colors pop and Crystal's shading is beautiful.  The pearl centers were the perfect finishing touch!  Congratulations Crystal, you are my HEADLINER this week!

Shawna

The GrandStampede

Shawna's gorgeous water lily took my breath away.   The water background is the perfect backdrop to the flower.  The mottled leaves add dimension and reality.  A totally stunning focal point.  The "smile" is perfectly positioned and I love the popped up sentiment.  Add to all of that, the circular focal point and wonderful white background - and it is a truly gorgeous card.  Congratulations, Shawna, you are my HEADLINER this week.

Thank you again to everyone for playing along with us!  Congratulations to all our winners, please pick up your badges here.  Please come back tomorrow for a sweet Theme Challenge from LeAnne!
