Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope that today finds you well, it was lovely to see the sun yesterday, although there was a chilly breeze and a few clouds just to remind you it isn't quite time to pack your jumpers away!  Paul gave me the oddest look when I said I was cold, mind you he was digging at the time whereas I was sat in my chair.  One thing that gives me great pleasure is just sitting listening to all of the different birds, who knew there were so many different bird calls.  We keep having a huge Hawk visit the garden you know its around before you see it as all of the other birds go crazy.  

Let's have a look at your cards....

Your Challenge Cards 

Maria

Maria's Description:

My first card is made with a die I got from our MIchele, can't remember name.

 I cut it out four times to get the bits I needed to make a paper pierced background.

My second one is made with a EF, tumble blocks ? and a few flowers.

Thank you so much Maria for two beautiful cards, I love the colours you have used to paper piece your first card, the sparkles give the card a touch of luxury.

The flowers on your second card are so beautiful,  the colours are lovely too. Thanks again my lovely XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Here is my Journal page for this week's Challenge:

I used a piece of the tissue paper I stamped on a while ago, adding Iced Spruce, Antique Linen and Tattered Rose distress inks. The butterfly is from my stash (sorry can’t remember who it’s by) and the sentiments are from Tracey Hey.

Absolutely incredible piece of art Sonia, I love everything thing about it, the colours all blend so perfectly, the background stamping really grabs your interest, the butterfly is the perfect finishing touch.  Thank you so much for taking part despite feeling unwell, sending gentle hugs XXX

Karen

Karen's Description:

Here’s my contribution for this we’d challenge 

A simple inked through an Aall and Create stencil with antique linen DO

Daisy B stamp coloured with chalk and graphite pencils Sentiment is a magazine freebie.

Karen, no word if a lie I thought the gentleman was a Kanban topper, I have some (somewhere) that I got in a Kit many years ago, I hadn't realised you had coloured him, which is amazing, tje sentiment gives a touch of humour to the card which can be hard to achieve on man cards, everything works perfectly together. Thank you so much for taking part XXX 

Lilian
