Winner's for Linda's Sketch


Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week's challenge!  The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Linda has chosen her Queen!   (Sorry for the delay getting this posted today...Blogger issues)!
The "Perfect Princesses" this week are:


Cindy's Choice
I fell in love with Christy's card the moment I saw it.  First, it's a Freshly Made classic with a fresh, uncluttered look and clean lines.  The adorable stamp is colored beautifully to go with the other colors in the design, and that paper-pieced red glimmer heart was the perfect touch.  The red colored rhinestones and the pink button with the red bow was a lovely compliment to the overall look.  Congratulations, Christy Q!   You're my choice for Perfect Princess this week!


Jen M's Choice
Donna’s card is classically elegant and shows off her signature style and ingenuity.  The way she used the bright colors immediately draws your eye to the beautiful heart that she created from the Stampin’ Up! doily die.  The edgelit die makes a lovely soft border and her perfectly tied bow is gorgeous!  And as a wonderful bonus, she shares how she made that doily heart in a video! Congratulations Donna, on being my choice for Perfect Princess this week! {Wink}


Rita's Choice
Suzanne at The Card Yard
Isn't this just adorable?   I love the little bird so much!  I wonder if he would be my Valentine?   Suzanne had such a fun interpretation of the sketch on this card.  The colors are so pretty and the bits of bling really add some nice detail.  Congratulations, Suzanne, on being my choice for Perfect Princess this week!

Jennifer's Choice
Kathy at Stamping Still


I am perpetually on the lookout for fabulous cards for little boys and as I searched the gallery this week, this card made me say wow!  I love that little rocket with the sentiment and the use of the splatters and stars are just amazing.  The colors are perfect!  What a lucky little boy William was to get this!  Congratulations Kathy on being my choice for Perfect Princess this week!

Jen Sannes' Choice
Celebrations

 I love Cindy's creation for this week's sketch challenge.  She designed such a romantic and frilly card - gotta love that pleated ribbon!  I also love all of the little details from the sweet buttons to the sparkling rhinestones.  This is an extra special birthday card to say the least.  Congratulations, Cindy, on being my choice for Perfect Princess this week!

Nina's Choice
Hannelie of the Desert Diva

I am drawn to monochromatic cards and black and white always appeals to me. I love the card Hannelie  created, the clean and simple design is a perfect showcase for the fabulous layers behind the beautiful silhouette. The stunning ribbon and bow are a perfect match for this elegant and classy card. Congratulations Hannelie on being my Perfect Princess this week!


Tui's Choice
Kelly Jo of Kelly Jo's Stamp Pad

This card was a stand out for me - I am a huge fan of black and white, classic and elegant, clean and simple...and whoa'....Kelly Joe ticked all the boxes!  From the striking bold graphic, to the clean white space, the simple sentiment and finished off with a simple embellishment and the all defining single classic pearl, love it!!  Wouldn't this card look absolutely stunning in a set!  Congratulations Kelly Jo for being my choice for Perfect Princess this week! 

And Our Queen of Clean this week:

Linda's Choice
N@ at My Cards


We had an amazing number of entries again this week!  It is terrific seeing all of the creative ways a sketch can be interpreted.  This card stopped me in my tracks!  What a fresh and unique take on the sketch!  I love that it uses different inks and shadings without fussy embellishments.  The bright green is such an unexpected treat to find on a wedding card.  I also love the fabulous white space.  Wonderfully original! Congratulations Queen of Clean!


Thank you to everyone who joined in.  Be sure to join us tomorrow for another great sketch from the very talented Jen Mitchell.
