Your Spring Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

We had such a productive day yesterday,   Paul got the first 4 raised beds filled and finished,  I planted up two full beds of strawberry plants,  so fingers crossed we should get a good harvest of strawberries this summer.  Paul continued sorting the beds and then cut the grass,  we will have to get a more robust mower as it took four lots of battery chargers to just take the top off the grass,luckily I bought 2 batteries when we got the mower, so we can charge one while using the other!  I needed to sit down so I moved on to potting on some larger seedlings and sowing a load more, Kale, Tenderstem  Broccoli and sone long peppers and sweetcorn.  I was glad when it was bedtime!

Your Challenge Cards 

Karen

Karen's Description:

When we were in B&Q at the weekend I picked up some Valspar paint samples I’d forgotten how I used to pick these up when I was working in the office nearby and created this card

DL style I cut JL butterflies and embossed them I added the white butterflies as on their own they looked a bit flat Some Glossy Accents dots Daisy B sentiment with glossy Accents on the heart

I forgot about using the paint swatches too, such a brilliant idea, It works so well with this style card too, you can't go wrong with an ombre effect, especially in shades of purple😍

I really love that sentiment style too Karen.                Thank you so much for taking part XXX  

I hope you are having a lovely time with the boys x

Lilian's Description:

Hi, here is my card for this week.

Chocolate Baroque stamps. Zig pens. Background is broken China, speckled egg and a green.

Fussy cut after colouring.

Lilian thank you for creating such a beautiful card, those tulips have been bought to life with your colouring,  I love that central panel of ink blending,  it really draws your eye in.  

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely XXX

Maria's Description:

Card 1: 

I used a stamp from temu, coloured it in with Spectrum Noir and put it on some papers in my stash. Also used some spare crystals 😊

The second card is made with some paper from Lapashe, have plenty more in a box. Did a little bit of decoupage and a few bling from my stash finished this quick card off.

Maria I bet Rick loved his card, I especially love the little bear holding the chocolates 😍

Your second card is gorgeous,  those flowers look like you could pick them off the page,  funny your Bee is in exactly same place as Lilian's!!  

Thank you so much my lovely for taking part XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

I stamped an AALL and Create small background stamp in milled lavender distress oxide. I die cut the lavender and inked with milled lavender and shaded lilac oxides. The photo negative frame is from JoyCrafts I think, and sentiment stamped in shaded lilac from The Stamp Market.

Such a pretty card Sonia, that Aall&Create background works so perfectly behind that negative strip die cut,  the lavender stems are the perfect addition,  bringing that delicate touch of colour without overwhelming that pretty background.  I love that Stamp Market sentiment too.

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely XXX
