Your Background challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

We had a very 'sunshine & showers' kind of day yesterday,  when the sun shone it was so lovely outside, the rain didn't come until later in the afternoon so Harley had most of the day in  the garden.  Hoping for some sunshine today, Paul filled loads of seed trays for me yesterday so I want to get some seeds started today, fingers crossed.  

Looking at my cards, it would appear that I had a very 'blue and green' week !! 🤣😂

Your Challenge cards 

Karen 

Karen used an Engraving Art board for the background of this card, she ran it throw an embossing folder and then rub over slightly with a Sanding block to reveal the silver embossing.  To finish the card Karen used a Creative Expressions Stamp & Die set to cut ,'Happy', then stamped the birthday on a tag. 

Such a fantastic Man card Karen,  I love how that background turned out. Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Lilian's Description:

Hello, here is my card for this week’s challenge.

A very simple card, but I’ve not been feeling too good this week.

I used double sided sheet, used gold and silver flakes, then added indigo blue luscious powders, then blended it all together. Simple sentiment .

Hope you are all ok, Lilian

Oh Wow,  Lilian,  this is the best that I have seen the Brusho look, maybe not diluting them is the key, they make a stunning background with the gilding flakes, you have created a silky smooth blend, a totally amazing background.  Thank you so very much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX 

Sonia

Sonia's Description:

Here’s my cards lovely…

Card 1: I used one of the backgrounds from last week. I added the Inkylicious text stamp. Finished off simply with a Tim Holtz Butterfly.

Card 2: Another ink smooshed background using the little plastic bag technique. I’ve used Salviged Patina and Saltwater Taffy distress oxides. The Thanks die is Stampin Up.

Two awesome cards Sonia, your colour combinations are so lovely,  I love how you picked out the blue hues with the die cut butterfly,  it makes the background blues pop, those little touches of stamping make such an interesting detail to the background.

Your second card is a much softer colour blend, that blue coloured sentiment is the perfect embellishment.  I love both cards, thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge my lovely XXX 

Sue

Sue started this card while she was at mine on Thursday, the Mandala stamp is a Uniko stamp, stamped onto Night of Navy and embossed with white embossing powder.  Sue has then added pretty pink dots around the stamped Mandala and then used the same colour to die cut the sentiment,  having that vellum background to the sentiment makes it pop even more. 

Thanks Sue for a lovely Challenge card, the pink adds a lovely pop of colour to the navy and white background.   Thank you so much for taking part. XXX
