Your Challenge Cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

My goodness the temperature seems to have really dropped, we went shopping yesterday afternoon and by about 4pm I was so incredibly cold, it was miserable, so grateful to have the log burner to sit in front of, the Aga had the kitchen and dining room lovely and warm which was very welcome when we got home.  Time to start layering up the clothes i think, I hate being cold it makes your aches and pains seem so much worse!

Karen

Karen's Description:

The poppy one I tried to do a background a la Janet Pring (on C&C With hindsight I wish I’d done the background stamping in brown to match the poppy heads

#398 Celestial Navigation in carved pumpkin and fossilised amber

#79 Sputnik stencil

#563 Follow Your Own Path

#447 Poppy Seedheads coloured with Inktense pencils 

#455

Some gold/silver/green/red gilding flakes That Stix2 glue is good

White Posca Pen Splats. 

Love this card Karen,  those colours work beautifully together,  I didn't even think about using my Aall&Create stamps until you reminded me by making this card, I don't think the background ink stands out as a different colour, I think we can be too hard on ourselves sometimes, had you not mentioned it I doubt anyone would notice such finite detail.  

In reality it is a truly amazing card with so much detail and interest to look at, thank you so much for inspiring me and supporting this weeks challenge XXX

Maria

Maria has made two cards, I have saved one for next Sunday as Maria is going through similar situation to me where everything is packed away for redecorating, hopefully it will be all worth it when you have your lovely craft room all organised!! 

Your rememberance card is so lovely,  they look like lovely toppers, i wouldn't have guesssed that they were stickers, such pretty colours too. The shaped card you created was genius idea Maria, it shows off stickers perfectly.  Thank you so much I really do appreciate you going to so much trouble to make cards while everything is packed up my lovely XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Here’s a poppy card I found. I made it in 2016! I used an Inkylicious stamp.

WOW Sonia,  simply stunning,  sometimes the simpler the design the bigger the impact.  It certainly hasn't dated in 6 years.  

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card with us XXX 

Sue

Sue actually made 6 cards with this one die, which is proof that if you minimalise what you have to use the more ideas you come up with!  Now I had this very die years ago, I think I used it once and its probably in a box  somewhere,  Sue however has really made the most out of it,  its one of those dies that you can use for many different occasions as Sue has shown. 

Thank you so much Sue for so many lovely cards XXX

Thanks once again my lovely friends what an amazing display of cards, that couldn't be more perfect for this weekend X❤X

Love and hugs to all of you,
