Your Sketch Challenge Cards

The Sketch

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

My favourite day of the week, as I get to share all of your amazing cards, so I will get straight on with it......

Lynda

Lynda has gone for Pretty floral theme this week, I have to say Lynda it looks like you have used fabric to make your card, I love the stamped floral images, you have got a lot of texture and depth by using the same pattern in different ways.  Thank you so much for taking part XXX

 Michele

Michele used free papers and images from Making Cards Magazine (Feb 2017) for this weeks Challenge card, I love the colour combination, the feathers, flags and other embellishments work perfectly Michele, you always amaze me when it comes from making cards from free magazine stuff, I chuck them all in a drawer and never use them, you really bring the best out in the freebies!  Thank you so much XXX

JANET

Janet, such a pretty card, I love that topper you have chosen, it looks like the photo was taken where you park your bike outside the café every morning, your basket is full of flowers for the tables, you really are the best cafe manager! 😉😉😘

Seriously though, you have embellished the card beautifully with those little flowers and the pretty bow  appliqué. Thank you my lovely, safe journey, enjoy every mile, XXX

 Maria

Maria, a perfect card to brighten somebody's day, i love the colours you have used and those flowers look like Hydrangeas, I used to live seeing them in my nan's garden, some pink and some purple.  Your little banner is perfect for sentiments too. 

Thank you so much for taking part XxX

Brenda

Brenda has been playing with some of her Stampin Up stash for this weeks Challenge card, she has used all StampinUp products, well not counting the card itself. The background I stamped from Avent Garden using Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral ink pads. Happy Birthday is from number of years stamp set. I also used Calypso Coral to colour the ribbon. The papers are from Little Foxy designer paper stack. Absolutely stunning card Brenda so love it XXX

 Val

Val's​ card has a stunning colour theme this week, I adore that blue card, its stunning and your topper matches perfectly too, what is that Embossing Folder that you have used, It's so nice!! The little bit of ribbon and gem stones add that little touch of Luxury, thank you so much for taking part XXX

 Margaret

Margaret has chosen the same stamp set as I used to on my Challenge card, well they do say that great minds think alike!!! 😉

I love all of the texture you have achieved by using a linen like card, the ink has enhanced all the texture, lovely colouring too.  Thank you so much for taking part XXX

 Karen

Karen, a real WOW card from you this week, your Friends and Colleagues must be so thrilled to receive such amazing personalised cards, I love this one very much.  Here is Karen's description of her card:

So, here's my CC I used Spellbinders Celebration Paper Cuts die as focal element Sue Wilson closed and open petalled daisies

Sue Wilson Pierced Flags and a couple of CE brads which happened to match the gingham and Topsy Turvey C&C cardstock
The embossing folder is SW's pinpoint checkerboard used at a 45 degree angle.

Thank you so much Karen for taking part each week.

Lilian

Lilian has opted for a 'Man Card' this week, a lovely handmade background paper using Cogs, with a die cut cog for embellishment along with a fabulous border of what looks like washers, all very 'mechanical', which creates the perfect backdrop to the fabulous Vintage Car that has been beautifully coloured too. 

Thank you so much for taking part XXX

I think I've got everyone, shout if I missed you!

Enjoy your Sunday everyone 

Love and hugs
