Your challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies,

As I am writing this post I have not long been home after my day at the Stampin'Up! Onstage Event, it was a fantastic day and I came home with lots of Free goodies, including 4 new stamp sets, a lovely Tote bag, planner and other goodies.  I will say that I don't remember a time that I felt as exhausted as I do now though, both mentally and physically.  

Danielle was amazing though, she couldn't have done more for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without her help and support, so if you are reading this Danielle, thank you so very much for your support, you are an amazing friend, xxx

Now there was a fantastic response to this weeks challenge, I had actually forgotten how much I love some of these old dies.

So without further delay here we go......

Brenda

Brenda has shared two stunning cards for this weeks challenge, the first card is a gorgeous birthday card that Brenda made in beautiful purple for her daughter.  

The second card is a beautiful wedding card. 

Brenda used Sue Wilson Time Square for the base and Madison Square for the filigree part, both from Sue Wilsons New York Die Range.

Thank you so much for taking part Brenda.

Karen has made 3 cards for this weeks challenge,  all very different, all fantastic.....
Karen's first and second cards are made using :

The second card is the same as the first card apart from the embossed centre panel.
Karen's third card is a one she was asked to make in the colours of the wedding. I will pop Karen's description below...
