 Brenda

Brenda chose the categories : Embossing, Grey & Die Cut, 

Using a Crafters Companion 3D Embossing Folder, oh my goodness it looks 

Like Guipure Lace, I absolutely love the effect, you really need nothing else 

Other than a sentiment and embellishment, which is exactly what Brenda

Has added, I have to say that little touch of pink works so well with the Grey,

I think it will become one of my new favourite colours!

Thank you so much Brenda for rushing to get a card made.

Val

Val chose the categories: Grey, Embossing and Die cut, creating a pretty embossed background, I love how you have added that little touch of decorative paper that picks up the grey perfectly, the butterfly finishes the card perfectly!

Thank you so much Val

Janet has become a stamping queen over this past 6 months, I'm not sure 

If it was getting the 'Faux Misti' that got you started but I distinctly remember

You saying 'I'm not really a stamper', now like me, most of your cards

have Stamping on them, it brings a huge smile to my face, it shows 

that it's not just the newer paper Crafters like Margaret that have 

grown in the number of different 'mediums' we use to create 

cards, we are all learning together. 

Your card is fantastic Janet, the sentiment is very true too! 

Ooh almost forgot....

Janet chose : Grey, Masculine & Yellow!

Thanks Janet

Karen has made two cards for this challenge, choosing the categories:

Grey, Yellow & Birthday (card 1)

Hexagon, Embellishment & Die cut (card 2)

Here is Karen's description:

New Birth - all with Sue W dies and a printed sentiment, all mounted onto foam tape. I created the card blank using dies and mounted the shadow box onto cream to give a little bit of contrast between the white elements. I may change the sentiment to "It's a ..." once gender is known! This is the first card I have made with yellow and grey - I love it!
birthday/gray/yellow

On the second one I have used a free Serif kit - Envelopes 2012. I made the card blank by resizing a hexagon and welded together with a third hexagon to cover the "join" on ScaNCut, decoupaged the bowler hat and moustache My embellishment is a die cut Sue W bow set plus a pearl!
hexagon/die cut/embellishment

I love both of these cards Karen, the Grey and yellow baby card is perfect for when you

Don't know what flavour baby us expected! (Not that many have the patience to wait these days)!

Thank you so much for taking part.
