Your Challenge Cards

 Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

The girls asked me to thank you for your lovely birthday wishes yesterday, we had a lovely day baking cakes and relaxing watching those 2 characters enjoying their day.  We went out to a Brazilian Barbecue restaurant for dinner, which the girls loved.  We then came home to try the cakes they made, Lucy made a cake that consisted of baked cheesecake between to sponge layers with caramel and vanilla buttercream in-between, Sophie made a Kinder Beuno Cookie pie, which was a thick chocolate chip cookie pie base and top, filled with Nutella and Kinder chocolate bar pieces, both very rich, you only need a very small slice. 

Let's get to best part of the day........

Your Challenge Cards 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

I used a piece of watercolour card and stamped and heat embossed a Swirl background stamp from Hobbycraft. I then spritzed with water and added some Cosmic Shimmer powders. I blended and added more until I was happy with the result. I wiped off any excess from the embossing. I stamped, heat embossed and die cut the freebie Pink Fresh Studio butterfly from Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine, onto vellum. I coloured it on the back with my ProMarkers. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market. I think this butterfly is my new favourite and will certainly be using it a lot 😊

Sonia's Description:

Two cards with simple embossing using the Spellbinders snowflake folder.

On the first I’ve used the Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree die set. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.

On the second card I’ve used the Stylish Merry Christmas die. The little snowflakes are from a Tonic punch.

3 Amazing cards Sonia, that first card is gorgeous,  I love that background  

The second card is stunning,  I love, love, love that sentiment ❤️,  embossing folder is lovely too, I love the tiny bits blue snowflakes, little details like that are what make your cards stand out.  

Thank you so much for 3 incredible cards XXX
