Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all having a lovely weekend, it's certainly a chilly one!  We spent most of yesterday trying to make sure that the families of all my Mum's siblings had a place in the Crematorium for someone to represent them, which when there are only 6 spare spaces is very tricky.  I think that Paul and I cracked it yesterday, we then started on preparing the order of service sheets for Wednesday.  I left Paul to sort most of it as I am no good at creating documents, I can embellish them just fine but anything that involves Word has me totally in a pickle!                                                                             We are both hoping to take today off for ourselves though, we both need a bit of a chill day! 

I know that this is your favourite day of the week so let's look at the amazing cards that you have all created.............

Karen

Oh Karen I love this card, I love the autumnal colours, I really love the finish the sewn edge gives the card too.  I really want to have a go at sewing on my cards but so far I haven't plucked up the courage. I certainly wouldn't be able to create a beautiful straight line like you have!! 

Karen's Description: 

Here’s a cc It covers quite a few of the tic-tac-toe It started as a flat/one layer card for last week .... So I’ve re-fashioned it for this week Stitching - image - heat embossing I have used a Woodward stamp and heat embossed- a wash background and painted/bleached with DO and coloured the mat with same DO I used SW pierced dies and stitched around it using the pierced holes as a guide Also more than 2 layers (6 in total) Die cut and sentiment!
