Your Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

This weeks Challenge was to make a 'Man' card, sticking to the sketch wasn't the most important thing, as making a 'Man' card is hard enough!

Lilian has used Sue's new Fish Bowl dies to make her Challenge card, I absolutely love your card Lilian, those bright red sails add a real pop of colour to your card.

How did you create your background ?? Amazing card thank you XXX

Janet two very different cards from you this week. I have the Kanban Kit that you used for your first card, barely used of course!  I love this image though, your second card looks Hand drawn, I am guessing 'High Green House' is a local tourist stop, It looks lovely Janet, I also love how you have let the Sketch stand alone on your card, an image as magnificent as that needs no embellishing! 

Thank you my lovely for two Fantastic cards XXX

Val has made two cards this week too, your first card is amazing Val, I love the colours you have used, that Lighthouse image is stunning Val.  Your second card is super cute, have you used Pixie Powders for your background? Those little fish are super cute!! Thank you so much for managing two cards in so little time XXX

Margaret has used the Stampin Up 'Lovely As A Tree ' stamp set to create both her background​ and her main image, a fantastic card Margaret, have you managed to make that cake yet ??😉. She

Maria has three cards to share with us this week, the first two feature 'Wellington Bear' who is both masculine and cute, perfect for Man cards.  The third card is a typical man card featuring football, perfectly composed Maria, 3 fantastic cards, thank you so much, I know how busy you have been, it means so much that you take part XXX

Brenda, what an amazing card, I love it, I think most men like a shed to disappear into, we have two but you can't get in either of them!! 

I absolutely love how you have created the shed, then there's all of the detail, the shrub in a pot, the fork and take too, the hinges, the cobweb too, a stunning card, thank you so much for taking part. XXX

Michele, two fantastic cards from you this week, I have to say that you are one person that has no problem making man cards, yours are always perfectly neat and finished, I love the first card with the map background, I have seen a few cards like that on Pinterest and loved every one.  Be great to use part of a map that has some significance. 

Your second card is amazing too, love the vintage car image and as always your Matt and Layering is perfect, thank you so much for taking part XXX

Lynda, you managed two cards too! I love all of those background dies that you have used on your first card, the give such interest to your card.  

I loved the leaves on your second card too, they are all so 

Textured to look at, are those skeleton leaves you have used? 

I think we all must have bought them at some point over the past ten years.  There used to be a company that sold them on C&C, the Lady was called Sue and she measured everything 'by eye',

Come on, one of you must remember, her company used to sell packs of skeleton leaves and mulberry paper!! I still have it all!

I keep meaning to try making flowers with it, one day maybe!

Anyway, thank you Lynda for two fantastic cards XxX

Cheryl created this fantastic​ card, I love your layout and the added detail of the tag and metal charm! Thank you so much Cheryl XXX

Now Cheryl's Jamie loved her card so much he wanted to make a similar one for his Dad, just look what an amazing job he did !!

Brilliant work Jamie, you did great, move over Cheryl you are going to have to share your stash! Thank you Jamie for allowing us to see your card XXX

Tracy's first entry into our weekly Sketch Challenge, wow what a start, a fantastic Mam card, I Love both the composition of your card and your colour scheme! Brilliant Tracy thank you so much 

For taking part XXX

Right, I think that's everyone, I hope I haven't missed any one out, I didn't think that I would get very many cards entered this week as it isn't the easiest of Challenges, but you did me proud once again ladies, you are just bloomin' amazing !! 

Have a lovely Sunday ladies, I hope it's a bit warmer than today.

Love and hugs

Sandra
