Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Here we are at your favourite day of the week, it's mine too, nothing gives me more pleasure than sharing your work. 

We spent yesterday getting the garden tidied up, the grass and brambles were out of control!  It was very satisfying seeing the transformation! 

Now lets look at what you have all been making:

Brenda's Description:  

"I’ve been busy making cards and notelets this week, my first card is 6 x 6 I made it for an elderly friend who had a fall recently, no serious damage but she was very shaken up.  My colour blending needs to be worked on, but as they say in primary school I’m working towards !

The stamp is from Honey Doo and I used my Copics to colour it.

This next set is for my sister she is always looking for low cat items as gifts.
Hope she likes these.  Characters from Lily of the Valley.
The notelets

This next set I gave her the cards and wallet a few weeks ago when I went up to Loughborough, they were for her to use as a gift, but she said she was keeping them for herself.

Brenda what an absolutely gorgeous collection of Cards and Notelets,  you can't go wrong with the beautiful Lilli Of The Valley images, they are so adorable and perfect for many different occasions.  I'm sure Anne was over the moon with them. Thank you so much Brenda for such an incredible collection of challenge cards  XXX 

Janet

Janet's Description:

My Challenge Cards for this week are all 6x6 in size.

The main pictures on the cards are from a 'VINTAGE PHOTO SET' from MIXEDMEDIA CRAFT O'CLOCK.

The backing die cut for my first card is a TONIC die.

The second and third backing die cuts are HEARTFELT EXPRESSIONS.

Janet I can totally understand why you love the vintage style so much, it's just timeless,  it's a style that has been around for years and just grown, yoy can keep it simple or add as much ephemera as you want and is perfect for a card no matter the season or gender!  Thank you for 3 amazing vintage challenge Cards.

The first are 6x6 on Christmas cards - thank goodness for stamping platforms 🤣

Set 2:

The 2nd are 3x3 in pieces of card that I will turn into toppers or tags Tracy Evans Ticketed Snippets and the sentiment from a may

Two lovely Notelet sets Karen,  such an amazing idea to use the Tracy Evans Ticket stamps, they are the perfect size and the images aren't specific to one theme, so perfect for notelets. 

I love the die you have used for the first set too, adding the three little dots makes such a difference to the design too.  Thank you so much for 12 incredible challenge cards. XXX

Lilian's Description:

"Hi, here are my small cards for this weeks challenge. Had to clear my desk of all the clutter to find room to take pics.

Sorry they are old stamps that I have had for years, flowers coloured with water colour pens, lighthouse cards coloured with intense pencils plus some oxides for the background.

Two beautiful little Notelet sets, the first set with the beautiful floral spray, I love the idea of adding the matching colour ribbon to give the little touch of luxury.

The srcond set is so stunning,  I absolutely love that scene, like a view from a seaside cottage window, all beautifully coloured. Thank you so very much for taking part Lilian XXX

Oh wow Maria thank you so much for 4 stunning cards for this weeks challenge,  they are perfect, all so pretty, I love the Wisteria stamp, lovely colours and those little corners are the perfect finishing touch.  The butterfly is so atriking against that lovely coloured background,  such lacy wings too!! Card 1 is brilliant,  I love the modern mixed media style.  Finally that beautiful mixed media background embellished with the tone on tone flowers is amazing.   Thank you so much again my lovely XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

"I die cut a Memory Box flower and coloured some of the petals with Distress Oxides and placed them back within. I’ve used Pickled Raspberry, Speckled Egg, Mermaid Lagoon and Seedless Preserves. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market."

Oh Sonia Such a beautiful,  Clean & Simple design that really works, Iove how you have only covered some of the petals , it gives a more striking effect, a stunning card as always, thank you so much XXX
