Your Challenge cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Well I continued making boxes for Matt's Craft Fair ( to put his bath bombs in) until about 1.30am, by which time I had started to lose basic coordination! I only managed to make 30 as they were very time consuming to create, he seemed pleased though  which is all that matters, yesterday was a very slow day as a result, my body went on strike!! Lol😂

Lets look at your amazing Challenge cards
.........

Karen 

Karen has gone for an almost 'clean and simple' look for this weeks Challenge card, I think Karen has made a similar version of this card before and it was stunning,  I love the effect you have achieved on those leaves Karen. 

Karen's Description:

"Here’s my cc It could also be used for next week as it’s a free die/stamp from a magazine! So stamped and embossed die cut leave JL embossed sentiment and a bargain EF from Ally Pally (which I inadvertently embossed the wrong way!)"

An amazing Challenge card Karen thank you so much for taking part XXX 

 Michele 

Michele has created a fantastic '2 for 1' duo of cards for this weeks challenge, using the die cut tree to create the first card and the aperture that it created for the second card, an absolutely genius idea Michele, maybe this could be an idea for another challenge. I love both cards, they are bright and cheerful and fit for the Festive season.

Michele's Description:

Two challenge cards = Christmas trees. I used a very old Spellbinders Christmas tree die to cut out the aperture on the stripy card & added Washi tape behind it. I used the silver Christmas tree left over from the first card & added it to a fancy Spellbinders Die (in red card), wrapped some multicoloured thread around the tree. Added lots of bling to the tree & around the main topper!

Lilian 

Lilian has created a Christmas card with an amazing Winter Scene, as always Lilian I love texture that you have created and the perspective has you looking into the card rather than just 'at it'! Wouldn't it be exciting to actually see Santa whizzing across the sky on his Sleigh, our children have always tracked Santa online via the 'Norad' website, they still do it now!! 

Thank you very much for taking part in this weeks challenge my lovely xxx

 Maria 

Oh Maria!  How bloomin' cute is your Cristal Art piece?? It is absolutely adorable, I love it, how long did it take you?  I know that these pictures are super addictive once you get started, the good thing about them is that you can sit at do it at night when you are watching TV.  I did notice in your NEC haul that you bought one or two more of these, I can't wait to see them too.

Are you going to pop him in a frame? 

Thank you so much for sharing your Cristal Art piece Maria, you can feature ANY craft piece that works with the theme of that weeks challenge, so you can make boxes, bags, pictures, cushions, crosstitch etc ect. I hope that you are continuing to feel better my lovely XXX

Janet

Janet has created a trio of cards for our challenge this week, the first card features a lovely rural scene, I absolutely love how beautifully you have coloured it too.

The second card features a lovely Cart wheel scene, this time Janet has stamped it onto a lightly patterned background, not something I think of doing but it really works, the autumnal leaves add a real pop of colour.

Last but not least is that incredible tree stamp, what a majestic sight, again you have coloured it fantastically. The sentiment really makes the card.

Janet's Description:

The cards are made using SHEENA DOUGLASS stamps and coloured using Crafters Companion Spectrum Noir pens.

Thank you so much Janet for three fantastic Challenge cards XXX

Lynda

Lynda has created two amazing cards for this weeks challenge, they both feature the same stamp but look completely different.  That tree is an amazingly detailed stamp.

Lynda's Description:

First card:
stamped the SU Lovely as a Tree cut some foliage from my Wish stash, Lynda also used Distress Oxides: Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles and Black Soot.

Second Card:
Second card is SU Lovely as a Tree & foliage from Wish stash.

Thank you so much Lynda for two lovely Challenge cards XXX
