Your Challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies,

Some absolutely amazing cards for this week's challenge ladies, you have done an amazing job once again, so let's go and have a look..…...

Brenda 

Brenda has made 2 completely different Challenge cards that both work for this weeks challenge,

I absolutely love the bright and beautiful colours of the first card and that Grand Swirls die is now on my shopping list!!

Ciara's Confirmation card is Exquisite Brenda, it is absolutely full of sparkle with the glitter in the background and the tiny sparkles on that Trellis Die cut, Ciara will love it Brenda.

Here is Brenda's description:

I have used Crafters Companion Gemini Create-a-Card dies for both -

For the First one I used Grande Swirls die and put some multi coloured vellum behind.
It has no sentiment yet as I haven’t got an occasion in mind yet!

For the Second one I used Twinkling Trellis die, it is for Ciara’s Confirmation later this month and still needs a sentiment, but will get that done in good time

Brenda thank you so much for two stunning challenge cards XXX

Lynda

Our Lynda has made two amazing challenge cards for us this week, both cards have absolutely amazing backgrounds. I love both of the dies you have used Lynda, particularly the second one.

Here is Lynda's Description: 

My challenge cards

Added some silk glitter to a piece of double sided sticky sheet rubbing well

Then cut a new die from Wish its lovely to cut & you get a set of free stars.

Next one similar way to do the background using another die from Wish.

Lynda thank you so much, the background on that second card is just beautiful, it looks like a sky scene.  I am so very grateful that you made time to make cards for this weeks challenge as I know that you have been feeling rubbish, struggling with pain and getting used to changes in your medication, you are a true inspiration my lovely XXX

Karen

Karen has managed a very respectable 3 cards for a challenge this week, all using different techniques too. 

Here is Karen's Description:

The HAPPY BIRTHDAY one is caught in crystal using CE crystal tints - yellow citrine, pink topaz, pure amethyst with purple haze Pixie Powders and silver glitter It’s ashame the photo doesn’t show the glitter very well It’s quite sparkly

The second is a card inspired by one I saw shown on Hochanda 

Background is aubergine dream PP mixed with water and “flicked” onto card The butterflies are JL cut in shades of Colour Families by Hunkydory - I’d forgotten what a lovely sheen it has plus for the sparkle some gems

Sentiment = Phill Martin

My third card:

 You inspired me to have another go with my ScanNCut foiling kit 

It’s for a work colleague who loves owls The image is from a TL USB

Karen your cards are all stunning, your 'Caught in Crystal' background is just gorgeous, so bright and vibrant and full of detail and texture, I was hoping to do this technique with Danielle but we ran out of time, hopefully next time.  I love the 'flicked' background effect, it gives fantastic detail without being too much, so that JL's Butterflies are the stars of the card. 

Your foiled Owl is stunning Karen, Emma will love it, I am glad that I inspired you to have another go at foiling with your S & C.

Thank you so much for 3 fabulous cards. XXX

 Michele

Michele made two cards for this weeks challenge, both very different and both fabulous!

Card 1:  Michele used more of the papers from the Making Cards magazine that she used for the other lovely Dog themed cards that I shared on Thursday for the first card, the two strips of 'Bling' down either side of the image give some amazing 'Sparkle' to the card.  

Card 2: Challenge card made using free papers (Making Cards) plus some scraps of gold cards & 4 black gems . 

Thank you so much Michele for two amazing challenge cards, both featuring Making Cards 'Free Papers', you make some amazing cards using 'Magazine Freebies'  which was what inspired next weeks challenge theme! XXX

 Cheryl 

Cheryl has made a lovely card for this weeks challenge using an amazing background, Cheryl has added narrow silver ribbon down either side of that lovely background. The card is finished with that fabulous 'Celebrate You' sentiment.
