Your Challenge cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend  do far, we have certainly been blessed with good weather, we ordered some new patio furniture last week, sadly it won't arrive until Wednesday  but it will hopefully be worth the wait and the weather stays until then so that we can use it, we have a beautiful, peaceful back garden that isn't over looked at all, which is a novelty for us as the patio at the bungalow was like a stage, that was raised up and over looked on every aspect. 

Well i'm sure you have heard enough of my waffle, let's get to the exciting part...

Your gorgeous cards...

Lilian

Wow Lilian, your challenge card this week is stunning, have you stamped those butterflies or are they part of the gorgeous printed paper. I do love to see sentiments stamped onto vellum, it looks so delicate and doesn't take away from  that beautiful background.

Thank you so much fod taking part in this weeks challenge.

Janet

Janet has created two amazing challenge cards this week, here is Janet's description:

"The first CC is made using this week's challenge (lilac)

I used Crafter's Companion 300gsm card 'Lilac and Blues) for the florals and Tonic glitter card (orange) for the internal. The dies are Tonic 'Square Flourish Set'.

The second is CC 'Lilac' using Sue Wilson 'Noble Collection classic Adorned Octagon die."

I really love the lilac card Janet, that die cut sentiment is stunning.

Thank you so much for taking part.

Wow Ladies, you have made some absolutely stunning cards for this weeks challenge. I am so grateful to all of you for taking the time in your busy lives to make a card for the challenge.

Lynda has suggested a challenge that uses just an embossing folder and a sentiment, I think it sounds like a great challenge, what do you all think????

Have a lovely Sunday ladies, enjoy the sunshine.

Love and hugs
