Your TicTac Toe Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all enjoying the weekend the weather has been a bit on and off for us, sunshine  and showers yesterday.  On Friday we went for a stroll around the village while the sun was out, so bright in fact that I had my sunglasses on! We stopped to collect the masks and then picked up some Brussel Sprout plants from a little sale table, as we were walking home the heavens opened, so much that I was wet through to my underwear, thank goodness for the Aga to dry coats etc and to warm up!

Anyway let's look at your amazing cards...…..

Brenda

Brenda has designed two incredible cards, the first one I LOVE, it is 'Bright and beautiful'
The second card is a perfect man card.
Brenda's Description:
"The first one I saw the idea on one of  HoneyDoos videos. Amanda was making a card with a stitch in time stamp and die set. I didn’t have those but I did have the carnation stamp and die set.

The masculine card is a really old JustRight stamp and matching die. I’ve had the vintage car stamped and cut out for a long time it’s been floating around my desk/work area forever, anyway today I found some suitable backing card which I’ve aged and stamped over with Brushed corduroy distress ink. Hope all that makes sense"

Brenda, thanks so much for taking part in this weeks Challenge, your cards are amazing.  XXX

Sonia

Three stunning cards from Sonia for the Tictactoe. Three totally different designs all absolutely gorgeous. 

Sonia's Description:

"Here are my challenge cards:

The first one comes under the categories of Feminine/Floral/Birthday card/Die cut element. I used Anna Marie Designs papers to cut the butterfly and APG Brillante Rondelle (peaking out from behind) along with the Sue Wilson’s Pierced Flag under the vellum cut one, and finishing off with the sentiment.
The second and third cards come under Simple Stamping/Floral/Feminine. I inked my card pieces before stamping the Gummiapan words stamp, and the Inkylicious Make a Wish stamp. Added a flower from my stash and LOTV sentiment on second card. I framed the stamped image and added the grid stamp for the background on my third card."
