Your No Die Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I hope the day has been as relaxed as possible, how a proper Sunday should be! We have no plans,  the weather has given us a miserable forecast of 100% chance of rain, which pretty much guarantees a wet day! 🤣😂 We didn't  bother going mattress shopping we think we have decided on a 'Simba' mattress, the reviews were all outstanding,  they deliver, for a fee take your old mattress away too which is worth the money.  You have a year to decide if its for you or not which seems fair, it's expensive but seems worth the money, the one we have cost over £500 20+ years ago!  My only concern is the bed height, our current bed is a divan and the mattress + topper bring it to the topof my thigh in height, this really works for me as getting up from low down is really hard and painful, I'm not sure you can buy a bed frame that's high though.  It feels like you solve one dilemma and then face another. 

Let's forget all dilemmas and lose ourselves in the beauty of your cards!! 

Your 'No Die' Challenge cards 

Janet

Janet's Description:

My Challenge cards for this week.

Both cards are made using STAMPERIA PAPERS.

My first card is made from VOYAGES FANTASTIQUE

And my second card was made using papers from

ORCHIDS AND CATS.

Janet your cards are both amazing, I love the Voyages Fantastique papers, that background paper is just incredible! I love how you have embellished it too. A brilliant man card. 

Now I am a sucker for a cute cat so your second card is so perfect to me, so beautiful.! 

Thank you so much Janet for two stunning cards and for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this week.

Stamping up trees , rubber stamps, an old green ink that I found when I had a clear out.

Not sure if it’s ok to use embossing folder, if not sorry.

Gold and crystal  stickles. And peel off around the edge.

Oh Lilian the stamp you have used is one of my all time favourite Stampin Up stamps, I think it's one of their oldest stamps that continued to be sold until a couple of years ago.  I absolutely love the colour of that green ink you have used, it's the 'perfect' green, can you remember which ink it is??  I love the whole composition of your card.

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge every week XXX

Karen's Description:

Card 1:  A Thrinchie for the challenge 

I don’t do vintage very well but thought by using the vintage looking teddy/dog would work 

I coloured the button with an alcohol marker to match and my colouring has a bit of shading

Card 2:  Here’s another card for this week’s challenge 

Tracy Evans #650 Daisy Squares

October’s flower can be a Michaelmas daisy (Aster) so have gone with those colours 

Card 3:  Here’s another variation I have done for this week’s theme #650 Daisy Squares for an October birthday

Karen you have designed three stunning cards for this weeks challenge, I have the #650 stamp and you have really inspired me to get it out and use it, your colouring is amazing, I love the colours you have chosen.  Your Thrinchie is really cute, I love the little bear and the saying is perfect. 

Thank you so very much for always being so supportive of the blog and challenges. XXX

Maria

Maria's Description:  

I used the stamps I bought at the Bedford craft fair. The flower wreath is pretty

big so used a 7x7 card here to put it on. Coloured in with TH inks and DO

Just a Note is coloured in with watercolour pencils, also used a stencil around

to break up the white.

Maria your cards are both amazing, firstly the HoneyDoo wreath stamp card is gorgeous, I love the stamp and love the way you have coloured it,  the colours you have used work so well together and your colouring is amazing.

Your second card would make a perfect journal page, I love the style of the stamp.  the contrast between the grungy background and the beautiful flowers is inspired.  

Thank you so much for supporting both the blog and the challenge my lovely XXX

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Here’s my card, sorry it’s a quick one….

I made the background using my gel plate with distress oxides and matted it on black card. The stamp is from Inkylicious.

Sometimes simple is perfection! Don't ever apologise, your card is lovely, I love that sentiment!

Thank you for making time to create a card for this weeks challenge, I know you have been super busy with work and getting ready to go away, thank you again my lovely.  I hope you are having a lovely weekend XXX
