Your Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter Sunday, I hope that you have a lovely day, with maybe a little bit of chocolate thrown in, I think I would actually prefer craft goodies!!

Karen

Karen has gone for a 'Clean and Simple' look for this weeks challenge card, I really love it, Karen's pretty polka dot flower (cut from Scan & cut)? Is finished with a pretty pink button, simple placed in one corner onto a white panel with a matching pink mat, all that is needed is a sentiment.  Karen's card uses categories: Flowers/ Any Shade of pink/polka dots.                        

  A truly stunning card Karen, thank you so much for taking part.

 Brenda has also used the free die from Chloe's Magazine, I have to say, the more I see it the more I like it!

The first card is made using 'Berry Burst' card and 'Colour Theory' DSP, both Stampin'Up!, Brenda has embossed the Berry Burst card with Sue Wilson PinPoint Embossing Folder.
The second card is made using 'So Saffron' card that has been embossed with a dotty embossing folder. The Chloe butterfly die and Sue Wilson sentiment.

 Maria

Maria has also made two cards for this week's Challenge, the first card has a pretty floral panel that I believe was made using the 'Resist Technique', the card is finished with a pretty ribbon bow.

Maria's second card is amazing, using a fairy silhouette stamp as the focal point,I really love that stamp Maria. I love how you have added that inked stripe across the centre to draw your eye to that pretty fairy.

The categories Maria has used are.....                                                                                     Shades of Yellow/Heat/Dry Embossing/ Ribbon

As I was looking through older cards for Janet & Lilian's cards I saw lots of our cards that were made with sone of Sue's original dies. I also had a request from Cheryl about using old dies, So I was thinking that a challenge featuring some of our older dies might be fun, What do you think???

A truly beautiful display of cards again this week ladies, thank you to all of you that took part this week.

Have a lovely day ladies,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
