Your Tag Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you all enjoyed the warm day yesterday,  we were a bit cloudy and overcast but it was really pleasant to be out in the garden.  We popped put to a village plant sale and then had to go and get some Gro Bags and some pots for my grasses that have really outgrown their original pots.  We spent the rest of the day in the garden.

Now let's look at what you have all been creating....

Brenda 

Brenda's Description:

This is a challenge card, I did make a second one but not happy with it. You will recognise the die I just can’t put it down it’s so lovely, I’ve had the ombré backing paper for ever! I just gave it a little more Ingres using a Julie Hickey stencil.

Oh Brenda I totally get why you love this stamp set, it's one of my favourites too.  I love the colours you have used too thank you so much for taking part XXX

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

"This is my attempt at a tag, Stamperia papers as usual.
Thought I would make more over time and mount them on a canvas, as I have loads of cards already finished.  That way I get to keep my own art work."

Lilian your tag is so beautiful I love the papers you have used and I think that mounting them on a canvas is a brilliant idea, thank you so much for taking part XXX 

Janet

Karen 

Karen's Description:

Card 1: Oh well I’ve had a go It took me all afternoon to decide what colour to back it all Kraft card seemed too pale to show the stitching (die) So one page of the Stamperia papers and the dies are either x-cut or do-crafts.

Card 2: 

The 4x6 card is almost a copy of a Julie Hickey design I used card that had been Pixie Powdered I stamped the Daisy Tag twice and cut out A Honey Doo cabochon in the centre I had already printed the sentiment and also used pale pink pearls

Oh Karen I love your Mixed Media piece,  those Stamperia papers are beautiful,  I love the stitch die you have used too. It looks so realistic. All of the elements work together perfectly. Your second card is lovely,  so colourful too, I have this stamp and I have lacked inspiration,  you have inspired me to get it out and have a play, thank you XXX 

Michele 

Michele's Description:

Challenge card-I used the free gift from this month’s issue of Diecutting Essentials. Background paper from my extensive stash of papers, flowers cut out of scraps of coloured card. Sentiment cut in white & pink then offset. Added a few tiny gemstones to finish the card

Thank you Michele,  I really do like that beautiful floral die, the colours you have used work perfectly too. What brand is your sentiment die please? XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Here are my challenge cards:
I used the stampers anonymous/Tim Holtz Fragments stamp to create my background. The tag was from a pack, and I inked both in a mix of Milled Lavender and Dusty Concorde distress inks. The flowers are Becca Feeken’s Cinch and Go.
A Christmas card, loosely based on Anna Marie’s sample card using Spellbinders dies, Memory Box snowflakes and Sue Wilson’s snowflake border. The papers from my stash.

Sonia you have some beauty lace dies, they really do make a card look extra special, I have a Joanna Sheen that I always forget to use.   The Deer die you have used for your Christmas card is one of my favourite Spellbinders Christmas dies, it's such an elegant looking Deer. Thank you so much for taking part my lovely XXX 

Maria

Maria's Description:

My card is made up with CE Twill Weave Embossing folder,Hobby Crafts

Sunflower stamp and the Tag is one I found in my stash.

Thank you so much Maria,  I know you have been busy preparing for your new house guest!  I am sure it will all go well, we have done it a couple of times, it's ok once you become comfortable with them being there.  I love your card the lattice background must have taken ages, it really works though, such a bright and cheerful card XXX
