Your Challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies,

Wow you have made some stunning cards for this weeks TicTacToe challenge.

So lets get straight on with the show.....

Lilian

Lilian has used her stunning Stamperia papers for her Challenge card this week, I have no words to describe how much I love this card Lilian, it has so much depth and interest, I find myself looking 'into' the card not just 'at' the card, those papers are just incredible and every time you use them on your cards I want to buy the pad, I don't think I can resist any longer!

Lilian has used categories : Wood/Metallic/Masculine

A truly incredible card Lilian, thank you so very much for taking part my lovely xxx

Janet

Janet has made 4 challenge cards this week, four amazing,  very different cards, something for most ages and occasions.

Janet has done a great description which i will add below....

Here are my CCs for this week.

For my first card I used - Sue Wilson eboss folder/Tonic die cut and Sentiment/metal brads from my stash (Eboss/Die cut/Female/Metal.

For my second card I used a Dolly Dimples CD for my backing paper and little girl image. I used  Female/bling/wood. The 'bling and wooden shapes are from my stash drawers.

For my third CC  I used wood effect backing paper from a 12x12 pad 'It's a Man's World' bought from The Works. The circles were also cut from the same pad. The main image is a Bee Crafty stamp. (Male/Wood/Circles.

For my fourth and last card I used  a Die'sire Eboss folder of Circles using a 8x8 blank card. The Die Cut is Tonic's 'Mermaid' set. (Female/Circles/Die cut/Eboss.)

Thank you so very much Janet for four fantastic challenge cards, i really appreciate the time that you put into making your cards.

Karen 

Karen has made two gorgeous Challenge cards for this weeks TicTacToe, Oh karen I just love your inky backgrounds so much, both have such stunning colours.

Karen's Descriptions:

card 1)  Here’s a cc I was hoping to do more but I am running out of time

It is similar to the retirement card I made earlier
I thought it would fit quite a few tic-tac-toe but Feminine /Die cut /Metallic
I inked the background with shaded lilac DO
The topper I “scribbled” some more shaded lilac DO with a water brush I “flicked” gold and purple SC water colour
Sentiment stamped and heat embossed in CS bright gold and a simple GUMMIAPAN die on top and three gold sequins.

card 2)  Here’s another cc for tomorrow (if I’m not too late) I chose Metallics/ Feminine/ Die Cut

The background is PP’s with Julia W’s bubble wrap technique (metallic) And the rest die cuts with the flowers and butterfly
Or it could have included heat embossing as the sentiment is stamped with worn lipstick DO and heat embossed with clear powder

Thank you so very much Karen for two stunning cards. XXX

Nicki

Karen's lovely friend Nicki made some cards for our TicTacToe Challenge this week,  Wow Nicki your cards are absolutely amazing, they are all so different, we have a perfect Man card (or it could be for ladies that don't like girly cards).

Nicki's second card is a fantastic New Home card, such a great idea to use the Bird houses!

The third and final card would make a lovely anniversary or wedding card.

1) Wood / Masculine / Stripes

2) Wood / Die Cuts / Dry embossing

3) Dry embossing / Die cuts / Bling

Thank you so much Nicki for taking part in our Challenge, it's lovely to have your cards on display again, so please keep them coming (when you have time). XXX

Lynda

Lynda has made this beautiful girly card in gorgeous shades of pink, its so pretty Lynda and looks like it took you way longer than the Half hour that you told me it took.

Here is Lynda's Description...…

My CC

I dry embossed my base card with flourish CE folder
Went over with fire brick oxide
Cut my doily die then cut two flourishes & two rolled flowers dies from wish.

Lynda used categories:  Embossing/Die Cuts/Feminine

Michele 

Michele has besn struggling like me with a lack of inspiration to craft, it's frustrating when you desperately want to just sit and make cards but no matter how long you see there nothing happens. 

So Michele has sent this card in for this weeks challenge, its a fantastic Easel card, the papers you have used are fantastic Michele and work perfectly for that particular card style. 

The categories used are:  Circles/Embossing/Bling

Thank you so much Michele,  I hope that our 'Mojo's' return from their vacation soon. XXX
