Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Well yesterday was not the day be doing last minute ironing and packing, it was a case of do a bit then have a break and cool off then do some more, I got the clothes holdalls packed, Paul and share a large one then we have an overnight Holdall for clothes for the journey down there, I was really ruthless this year and cut down what we take by quite a bit, I thought that I was ruthless last year but we still came home with a good bit not worn, so this year I left out anything we didn't wear last year, we don't tend to go anywhere 'fancy' so there is no need to take stuff to dress up,  I have a few pairs of smart shorts and nice tops for going out, that should do. Paul has smart shorts and I have popped him some nice t shirts in, he isn't really one for wearing shirts other than for work.

Karen

Karen's Description:  

'One down, thirty to go'  I used a blend of:  Squeezed Lemonade Shaded Lilac and a hint of Wilted Violet.

Karen's first 'Thrinchie'  which are 3 x 3 inch pieces of artwork,  very popular at the moment especially among Tracy Evans followers,  after seeing yours Karen I think I might start them when I get back, it's a good way to use those A&C stamps that are sat gathering dust.

DO Spiced Marmalade Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Some stamped text in Spiced Marmalade The toucan from #563

Another Thrinchie 

This particular background is blended Speckled Egg and Evergreen Bough

I then added white acrylic paint to the Lotza Dots stencil I spritzed it with water and added I added shadows with an Inktense pencil I stamped the sentiment from #618 and the focal point #561 Stamped it again and triple embossed some of the circles.

WOW Karen,  thank you, thank you, thank you for some incredible inspiration, I really want to have a go at these, I have a whole stack of those albums that Becca bought years ago to start scrapbooking and never bothered, they are same as yours, so even more reason to make some! I really appreciate you taking time to support the challenge XXX

Lilian's Description: 

Hi, here is my card for this week, very simple back ground paper, with some gold stencilling.
