Your Circle Challenge Cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Well wasn't it breezy yesterday?! We had intermittent heavy showers too, which made gardening tricky, fortunately most of my jobs could be done inside,  potting on Cauliflower,  Sprouts,  Purle Broccoli,  marigolds etc.  Paul managed to dig over the extra veg patch in preparation for planting out our Cauliflower,  cabbage and broccoli.
The house is so quiet without the girls here, it seems odd as there is no background noise. They are having a lovely time on their own, they have been sharing their cooking with us, it's  lovely seeing them be so independent, actually they have gained a lot more cooking experience since they have been at home during lockdown.
Sophie is a lot more experimental with herbs and spices, lucy prefers baking.

Anyway you have all come to look at some amazing Challenge cards  so here we go....

Sonia

Sonia has made two amazing cards for our Circle Themed Challenge. The first is a brilliant Man card and the second is a beautiful Thank you  card.

Sonia's Description:

"Here are my challenge cards

The first one I made for my Nephew’s Birthday. I stamped the grid background, and cut random sized circles and added the die cut guitars. Stamped the stars and added the sentiment.
For my second card I used some of the backgrounds I’d created with my Gel plate.
Again I cut the different sized circles, butterfly and pierced flag. The sentiment is LOTV."

Thanks so much Sonia for two stunning Challenge cards. XXX 

Sue

I love that die Sue, it's a great one for creating Anniversary or Valentine's for Men as it features tje 'Love' element without being too Fussy & fancy.
Thank you so much Sue for taking part in this week's Challenge.  XXX

Janet

Janet has created 3 beautiful Challenge cards that all feature circles in different forms.

The first card features a beautiful stamped image of a girl with a gorgeous dress that Janet has coloured perfectly.   The second card features a pretty dressform image, I love that dress! The last card features a Tonic die cut, it looms very 60's in style, that pretty background paper really enhances the die cut.

Janet's Description:

"1.My first CC is a Crafter's Companion stamp and I used Spectrum Noir pens to colour the image.

2. My second CC is made using a CD from Dolly Dimples called 'Dazzling Dresses'. the little flower and butterfly I made from air dry clay.

3. My last card for this week is made using a Tonic Die and the backing paper is from Phill Martin.

Karen

Karen's Circle themed Challenge card was made using the Honey Doo 'Encircle' Background die, I love the contrast between that lovely background paper and the white die cut that highlights different parts of that background paper.

Karen's Description:

"Here’s a cc for you 

It’s one of the die cuts you sent me with a Clarity Rainbow River 8x8 paper - it reminded me of bubbles! And that SW Happy Birthday die"

A lovely fun card, love that background,  thanks so much for taking part Karen XXX

Michele 

Wow Michele I love both of your Circle Challenge cards for this week, I have to say though that the second card is one of your most beautiful cards ever! 

Michele's Description:

"Two old cards for this week's Challenge. 

First card made using a magazine freebie. Second card made using the well used Stamping Up set of Dies = Swirly scribbles."

Thank you so much Michele for two gorgeous Challenge cards XXX 

Maria

Three beautiful cards from Maria for our Circle Challenge this week. 

The image on your first card is just adorable Maria, adding the fern leaves really embellishes the main image, making the scalloped circle look like a flower. The image reminds me of 'Victoria Plum' which was around many years ago.

Your second and third card feature such soft, sweet colours, I love them both.

Maria's Description:

"1- sweet circle image sat on a another? circle with some fern from

magazine and a happy birthday greeting.

2- easy card with nine circles from a pack of papers I had for ever

and never used. Not sure for who therefore no sentiment yet.

3- Bokah circle card made for a special friend   used oxide inks

 for the background"

Thank you so much Maria for 3 gorgeous Challenge cards XXX
