Your Sketch Challenge cards

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you all managed to enjoy some time in the sunshine yesterday, or in your craft room which is a close second as far as pleasure goes.

We got loads done in the garden, it was so lovely outside we just kept going all day, it's so rewarding at the end of the day to see the progress too. I will let you know if I slept well!

You have all made some stunning cards for this weeks  challenge, so let's get on with the show......

Brenda

Brenda has used her Card-I-O stampst create her beautiful Challenge card this week.

Brenda's Description:

" I used card-io stamps and edged the stamping with Stampin Up Delicate detail lace, I used the finest one in the set. Then I decided to add ribbon to define the edge more.

I used. Berry Burst card for the sentiment and finished it with Glossy Accents."

Brenda I love your card, the curve looks much less harsh than the straight edge. I also love how your little bow sits so neatly on the edge of your curve.

Thank you so much for taking part XXX 

Lilian 

Lilian took a break from sewing Masks to create this lovely Challenge card.

That border you have used across the centre is so delicate and pretty, your floral corner fits the Challenge perfectly too, I just love your finishing touches, adding the stamped detail under your sentiment.

Maria

Maria has created two beautiful cards, the first is such a beautiful aqua colour, Maria has  used a pretty background die to give some lovely detail to the top of the card, those three flowers are so beautiful Maria and add a real delicate touch to your card.  I love it !

Maria's second card features a beautiful floral die cut piece, the die cut is so pretty and the card needs no other embellishment, the sentiment in the opposite corner is just the perfect finishing touch.

Thank you so much Maria, I love both of your cards XXX
