This weeks challenge makes

 







Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

We have a lovely afternoon out yesterday,  we drove over to Pershore to a Nursery (just plants, no cafe,  no clothes boutique or gifts) just very reasonably priced plants, for instance trays of bedding plants for £1.50 !! His petunias were beautiful and already a good size pot for £1 50, we literally got a boot full for £27, that included aRed Hot Poker plant that I have been after for years, its a lovely size and was £5.99,  any of the garden centres i go to with the girls that one plant would have been the best part of £20, we drove into Pershore afterwards for a coffee and cake but it was a bit disappointing so we drove home and had a cuppa and home made coffee or Banana cake.

Let's have a look at what you have been creating this week.......


Karen


Karen's Description: 

Card 1:  Here’s a challenge card
Flowers-Stencil-Inks
It’s the Serif background I created from a Color Box card which I added stencilling and stamping Aall&Create dies 
(The blue in the flower is not as bright in real life it is more like the colour on the card)

Card 2: 


Lilian 


Lilian's Description:

Hi here is my tag for this week, it’s strange as I stamped those branches yesterday, and today you show an early card.

Tim Holtz stencil is mosaic, stamp is Stamping Up, 
Beads I’ve had for years can’t remember where they came from.

So Foliage, things with wings, stencil.

What a beautiful Tag Lilian,  love the colouring in the background and you can never go wrong with a foliage stamp,  what a coincidence that I shared a card that you made using this same stamp from 9 years ago!  SU stamps may cost a little more but they are great quality. 
The lace trim and little flowers increase the beauty of this gorgeous Mixed Media tag.
Thank you so much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX 

Maria


Maria's Description:

The time again, where the heck did the week go ? 
I had a little play today and got this together.
Stamp and tools for gardening I thought is for Spring/ Summer, used inks by T Holtz for stamping the flowers. So that's the card for Sunday.  I did everything directly on to the card but might transfer it to a larger card at some time ,not sure yet 😊

Absolutely love this card Maria, perfect for any gardener.  I love your attention to detail,  loke adding grass under the wheelbarrow,  watering can etc.  Beautifully coloured too. 
Thank you so much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely Sunday, 

Love and hugs to all,

  1. Beautiful cards ladies
    My card 2 is a Serif image which I printed twice The top image I cut stripes with my ScanNCut I mounted it onto foam and laid over the top of one of the images With hindsight I could have saved a bit of card and used the fall away pieces instead Every day’s a school day!
    Going to watch a bowls match this afternoon whilst OH watches his precious Chelsea! Should be lovely to watch in the sunshine and no pressure for me to play 🤣
    Take care everyone xx

  2. Hi everyone
    Gorgeous cards , I love them all. !
    Another sunny, beautiful day here so I'm spending the day in my favourite place on the patio. Trying to be a good girl and using the suncream regular 😉 I know you are all shouting at me now 😄
    Karen, have a lovely day.
    Sandra, this garden centre from you is it far and what is it's name ?
    We are having the gardener around again for the weeds in the borders have come up like crazy. He's here beginning of June so it looks nice when sister in laws eldest daughter is up with her husband. They might have been here like 20 years ago so a long time since.
    Have a beautiful day everyone. Hugs to you all xxx

  3. Hi Sandra and all looking in. Lovely looking back at some of our cards. You all could send them today and no one would think it hadn’t been made today. My orangey one would definitely not be sent. Not sure what I was thinking!!!
    Always so enjoyable looking at the challenge cards. You all made beautiful cards.
    You got some great priced plants didn’t you. Wish there were more of those type of places still. Glad you got your Red hit poker at last xx
    Sleep well everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx

  4. Hi, sorry late again.
    Love all the cards today.
    Tremendous rain during the night and until lunch time, still saves watering.
    That’s it good night, Lilian
