Your Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

This week's Challenge was to make cards that feature 3's, so it could be 3 colours, 3 layers of 3 of anything featured on the card.  You all had some amazing ideas so without further delay here are your cards......

 Lynda

Lynda has designed a 'triptych' style card, using three beautiful floral stamps that she has stamped and coloured. The background is one of Lynda's blended Distress Oxide backgrounds, using fired Brick, Fossilized Amber and Lucky Clover. The stamped flowers are Stampin'Up! Stamps that Lynda has stamped onto a £1 pad and added Watercolour to the flowers. The sentiment is from 'Beautiful You' (SU) .

An amazing challenge card my lovely.

Lilian

Lilian, once again you have created an absolutely stunning Challenge card, a beautiful die cut corner that reveals a pretty blue background, then there is the exquisite stamping around the edge of the card with such tiny flowers and foliage.

Then three gorgeous, super detailed butterflies finish the card. 

A real wow card Lilian, thank you so much.

Janet 

Janet managed 3 Challenge cards that feature 3's, how clever! Hahaha

Three gorgeous cards, the first features 3 very well dressed ladies, the second is from ' House of Zandra' Fabulous Shoes CDROM I believe, the third features 'Alice in Wonderland' in a trio of hearts design card.

3 amazing cards Janet, thank you so much.

Michele

Michele has used one of her new Embossing Folders to create her challenge card this week, I love the shades of gold you have used, both colours highlight the embossing perfectly, 2 lots of 3 Butterflies complete this week's challenge criteria.

A lovely card Michele, thank you.

Karen 

Karen has gone an extra step with her Challenge Card, mixing old with new as well as using 3 toppers!  Here is Karen's description......

"Here’s my cc for threes I thought I’d also mix it up a bit as in one of your suggestions old/new 

So it’s an old MCS image with the “newer” SW shadow box stitched lattice frame with some tiny dark red bling on the cross over thingy bits (can’t remember the official name!)

Thank you so much Karen.

 Maria

Maria has used a really pretty ' trio of Roses ' stamp and die for the '3' element of this week's Challenge, 2 lots of three gems too, a lovely embossed background and pretty pink ribbon complete this lovely card.

Thank you Maria.

Margaret

Margaret has chosen to use the Stampin'Up! 'vertical Greetings' stamp set to create her first Challenge card this week.  I like making ' just for you ' cards as they are so useful, whether it's a 'Thanks' or a ' just because ' or 'Happy Birthday', they have so many uses, I really love this stamp set too!

Margaret's second challenge card was made using the free All Occasion Embossing Folder we all bought in December (I think)!  Three butterflies make the challenge part of the card. Margaret used Promarkers to colour the image so beautifully.

Two stunning cards Margaret,

Thank you so very much.

Brenda

Brenda has used this week's Challenge to make her Grandsons 16th Birthday card, Sam plays for the Saracens Juniors so Brenda made his name up from Photographs of the team shirts, which is an amazing idea. Three letters and three rugby balls make up the challenge part of the card, I bet Sam will think it's the best card he receives, with it having his name on in his team colours.

Thank you so much Brenda.

Val

Val, wow! Such a pretty card, starting with a delicately embossed background with 2 butterfly semi circle die cuts for interest, the the three letters that spell ' Mum', that have been die cut in the prettiest papers. Val has embellished the card with Pretty Butterflies and flowers.

A stunning challenge card Val, thank you so much.

My goodness Ladies, 12 absolutely amazing entries into this week's challenge, I am so delighted that you enjoyed the challenge.

Hopefully we have about 3/4 more days of me not being able to craft and then it's full steam ahead, I am so excited to get my hands on my craft stuff !!  

It just seems like forever since I had my usual Sunday afternoon craft session thinking of the next week's challenge and making a card to inspire you all.

I can't thank you all enough for your patience and for helping me out with extra cards to share.

I hope you all have a lovely relaxing Sunday,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
