Your Challenge projects

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies  

We had quite the relaxed Saturday,  Paul washed the car and did a few garden jobs, filling bird feeders, which made me laugh as every time  rook or crow landed in the garden he went out to chase it away and then watched in delight as the Robins and Long tailed Tits enjoyed the fat blocks and mealworms! He was like a cat on hot bricks, I hid my giggles! 🥰🤣😂

I spent a couple hours in my craft room, creating another Thrinchie for Hexagons, the rest of the time was spent tidying before I could start crafting. 

Janet I hope these tests aren't too exhausting, I bet you are counting down the days until they are done. XXX 

Let's look at your Challenge cards......

Your Challenge Projects 

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here are my two cards for this week. I started theses before I saw what you had picked for this week,  both quite simplistic. Elusive images stamps, rather old.

Lilian such beautiful cards, I love the beautiful delicate Spring shades that you have used to colour your cards.  Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Karen's Description:

Card1: 

Here’s a card front I have had for about 6 years I quite like it but messed up the gold embossing 

This has purple DO splats and a gold Posca,  I found a remnant of the cream card and splattered it with gold and purple CS Shimmer paints (which I’d totally forgotten I had)

Card 2:

Here’s the Sympathy card using GUMMIAPAN die and a John Lockwood butterfly.

I really like the simplicity of that Gummiapan die, absolutely perfect for a Sympathy card, it works so well with that tiny butterfly and the sentiment.  

The gold mat that you have added to the first card really highlights the gold splatters on the card front,  great idea adding the splatters to the sentiment label to tie the two pieces together.  Thank you so much for 2 fantastic cards XXX

Sonia 

Sonia's Description:

No 1 & 2: First page - using Tracey Hey stamps, the papers on front and inside cover are Tracey Hey as well. I stamped the head band/bow and heart on t shirt twice to make them stand out more.  I inked the base of the covers and then stuck on papers on 

No 3:  Two more Tracey Hey Thrinchies. These were originally going to be a larger journal page, but I wasn’t happy with it, so decided to make into Thrinchies. I’ve used Distress inks and oxides for the colouring.

No 4:  I wanted to do a couple with AALL & Create products too, so have mixed stamps and stencils, again with distress oxides.

Sonia what an Incredible album you have created, everything ties together perfectly, even though you used Aall&Create stamps on page 4 it still matches the other pages perfectly,  I love that bright pop of pink running through the album. 

Thank you so much for such an inspirational start to your Thrinchie journey XXX

Gina

Gina's Description: 

Hi I am putting in a card for the challenge its one I made for my Mother in Law for her birthday (she was 92) it is a heartfelt creations butterfly and stamp this is only the second time I have used it, it is about two years old (I think). 

Wow Gina what a gorgeous Butterfly,  I don't think I've seen that one before, its so intricate, I love that you get the basic outline die too as it gives you so many more options.  Using it to create a Butterfly shaped Easel card was a brilliant idea and works perfectly.  How lovely to have the matching Envelope too.

Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge my lovely XXX
