Your Momochrone Challenge Cards

Good Sunday morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend.

As I am writing this (saturday afternoon), we are all lounging by the pool having a very relaxing  day.  We had a walk around the small local market that sets up outside our Campsite on a Saturday morning,  there are some lovely  fruit and veg stalls mixed with many others selling anything from towels and Linen to the fake designer bags and purses.

I actually bought a leather purse from there  last year, it wasn't a designer brand or anything, I have to say 1 year on its still like new and  it is the softest leather, so there are bargains to be had if you look beyond the counterfeit  Louis Vuitton bags, purses and belts!

We are planning on going out to eat tonight, there is a local restaurant that does some lovely steaks and seafood and according to Lewis makes the best Pizza he has ever eaten!

Onto your amazing Challenge cards.....

Karen

Karen has made two lovely 'Monochrome ' cards, one Christmas and one Birthday, I will admit that I do have a favourite this time,  the Birthday card is beautiful and has sich a lovely sentiment,  that Sandra is very lucky to have you as such an amazing friend Karen 😜

Love Both Cards Karen, thanks so much for taking part XXX

Lynda

Lynda also made two Challenge cards, both are amazing Lynda. I really love the unusual background of the second card, it looks very 'mixed media'

Card 1:

I glued a piece of black card to my white base card then added the black poppies & white poppies.

Card 2: is white base card I added the the black card on top then added the  flowers to a mesh background ( I bought flowers from wish can't remember name of them) added a happy birthday.

❤️Xx

Thanks Lynda for two stunning Challenge cardsXXX 

Janet

Three fabulous Challenge cards from Janet, I have always loved those Silhouette Ladies, they make such an elegant card.

Janet's second card,  great Man card, with that  quirky Gargoyle/Vintage Door Knocker image.

Janet's third card is a Tonic die card, which Janet has die cut and embossed,  I'm not sure if Janet added guilding wax or has sanded the embossed detail to make it stand out so beautifully,  the card is finished perfectly with Ribbon woven through the die, which gives a stunning look to the card and a touch of luxury.

Thank you so much for 3 stunning cards Janet  XXX

Maria

Maria has designed two absolutely Gorgeous cards for this weeks Monochrome Challenge,  using grey  and white for one and a pretty aqua coyr for the other.

The first card Maria has designed using SW Vivien Die set which is so beautifully intricate, l that is needed is that simple fern style foliage to finish the card. 

Maria's second card uses SW New York collection die for that beautiful frame and a SW butterfly to finish.

Thank you Maria for two beautiful Challenge cards. XXX

Val

Val has made an absolutely stunning Get Well Soon card for the Challenge this week, wouldn't that gorgeous flower brighten your day as you opened the card.

Yet again Val has used a stunning embossing folder to create the background for that pretty flower. 

The twine and that simple sentiment is all that is needed to finish the card.

Thank you so much Val, it's so lovely to see your 'mojo' returning after it's holiday XXX

Michele 

Two fabulous traditional  'Monochrome ' cards from Michele for this weeks  Challenge. 

The first has a pretty embossed background topped with a pretty patterned black ribbon,  on top of which Michele has popped that cute die cut Cat. The card is finished with the die cut sentiment and some pretty gem stones in the corners. 

Michele's second Monochrome card is layered grey and white card with the addition of the sim0le but effective 'Tuck in' die cut (i think that is what they are called) they are little abstract pieces that really bring some texture to your projects.

A simple Sentiment and some black gem stones are all that is needed to finish this card.

Perfect Challenge cards Michele, as always, thank you so much for taking part despite a hectic week at work.   XXX

Sue

This card is one that Sue made for this very same Challenge a year ago, it is so beautiful its worthy of a second view.

Sue made it using the Very Vintage (SU) stamp set and my all time favourite die Spelldinders Floral Oval. 

Such a beautiful card Sue XXX

Lilian

Lilian has been away so I don't think that she will have managed a card for this week, so like Sue's card I used the one that Lilian made for this Challenge this time last year.

Lilian has used a stunning stamp to create that beautiful image and then coloured the card to match the background. 

A beautiful card Lilian XXX

Margaret 

Finally a beautiful Thank You card that Margaret made for this very Challenge last year.

I absolutely love this die, which I believe is an 'Apple Blossom' die from  Craft Stash.

A beautiful Thank you card, thank you so much Margaret XXX

Ladies thank you so much for taking part in anothet Challenge.  I am as always very grateful for the time and effort you put in each week.

Sending love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
