Your Cards for Maria's Shades of One Colour challenge

 




Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope you are enjoying a lovely relaxing Sunday, fingers crossed for some good weather today!  We did our trip to the tip yesterday and got rid of loads of garden  waste and a load of bags of clothes that the girls sorted out a couple of weeks ago, I love the feeling of decluttering!   Stopped at the garden centre on the way home and picked up 9 large terracotta pots for £15, I'm not sure why they were that price as they were supposed to be £3 each pot so should have been £27 !! But we weren't complaining,  we did have to evict a very large 8 legged stowaway from one of the pots though, I noticed him just as Paul picked the pot up to put it in the car, he nearly dropped the pot when i told him!  

We just pottered in the garden for the rest of the afternoon,  ticking those jobs off the list!  What did you all get up to ???

Let's see what you have all been designing for Maria's  challenge......


Michele 

Michele made a lovely card perfect for this weeks 'Shades of One Colour " challenge,  she used a lovely 'Little Claire ' topper featuring two lovely cats and then used shades of purple that work beautifully with the topper.

Absolutely lovely card Michele, thank you so much for taking part in Maria's challenge XXX 


Karen

Maria 




Maria's Description:

"My first card today is in Lilac. I found a piece of paper with pretty flowers

so used that and also cut out a couple to make the flower on top.
The second card is made with a die from Christina Griffiths and an old Get well
soon sentence in my stash, all made in pinks."

Two beautiful cards from Maria for our Challenge this week, that purple paper is so pretty, I am glad you left the design simple so that the paper is the star of the show.
Your second card is stunning that Christina die is lovely,  enhanced by your colouring,  with that beautiful die cut panel the card looks perfect with a simple sentiment. Thank you so much for suggesting this weeks challenge XXX 

Lilian 


Lilian's Description:

Hi, here is my card for this week, as you can see my magazine came today, haven’t had chance to really look at it yet, but love the flower stamps. Used two of them on this card. Also used the new mica powders, can’t see they are much different from other I have.

Wow Lilian you have made me excited for having a play with my magazine freebies now, your card is awesome, I love those flowers and the beautiful wreath you have created with them too. Did you buy the extra dies?  Thank you so much for supporting Maria's challenge XXX 

Sonia



Sonia's Description:

I’ve used Speckled Egg with the Tim Holtz snowflake die. The sentiment is from a Woodware stamp.
On the second card I’ve used Tattered Rose with a Tim Holtz stencil and the butterfly.

Two absolutely stunning cards Sonia, that snowflake die is gorgeous and looks amazing inked up with Speckled Egg, I do love that colour.  How gorgeous does Tattered Rose look on your second card, it's a very under rated colour I think, it blends out to such a lovely soft peach colour.
Thank you so much Sonia for sharing two amazing cards for Maria's Challenge. XXX

  1. Morning Ladies
    What a lovely selection of challenge cards, all so different.
    It was just lucky that the card I made fitted this challenge.

    What a week-I was shattered as I’d been visiting my crazy friend on the ward after work plus I had a sale table yesterday at the local craft fair. Hopefully I can just do the minimum amount of housework today!!

  5. Hi everyone
    A lovely selection of cards today, they’re all beautiful 😍
    Glad you got all your jobs done yesterday. I love decluttering too, but don’t do it as often as I need to 😉 Your terracotta pots were a real bargain 😊
    Not long home from work and just having a cuppa. We’ve got friends coming round a bit later, so will be sitting out, although it’s clouding over here now, so I hope it stays dry.
    Hope you’re all having a good day
    Sending hugs to you all xxx

  6. Hello Sandra and ladies,
    Just realised I haven’t left a message today.
    WOW ladies your cards are all stunning and so inspiring. I was all set yesterday to make a card when I had unexpected visitors, both daughter and granddaughter, it was a lovely treat. So sorry I didn’t send in a card. Today has been a day of rest, I just keep nodding off.
    Your plant pots were a real bargain Sandra. Sounds like you have had a great de clutter in your house, it’s such a great feeling, I need to have a good sort out, just need to find the energy and motivation!!!
    Take care everyone, hugs Brenda xxx
