Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Happy Easter Sunday, did you all remember to put your clocks forward??

We were blessed with lovely weather yesterday, we had a lovely walk along the beach, we saw the Steam train, those things are so much more exciting when you have children,  you feel daft getting excited about those things as an adult. We had a lovely day,  the weather couldn't have been better there were actually people in the sea, a lot with trousers rolled up rock pooling too.  I absolutely love being by the sea. 

We are going to have a quiet day today,  we have a nice leg of lamb for roast dinner for when the girls get home. I hope you all have a lovely day x

Your Challenge cards

Maria's Description:

I made another fractured card this week and then run out of time to make any more.

I cut a piece of card out of a block 12x12 by Sara D,   Vintage Butterflies.   Was just about to put the glue on and desided that the other side was prettier 🤭 I used ribbons from my tops to do the fractured bit .  A little die cut butterfly and some crystal drills finished the card off. 

Hope it's ok 🙂

 A gorgeous Fractured card Maria, that paper is so pretty, especially the butterfly paper, I also really love your shiny  ribbon you have use to make the fractured elements, what a great tip!  Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Sonia's Description:

Card 1:  I used a new stamp recently purchased by DarkRoom Door, stamped and heat embossed. I made the rectangle frame using a couple of Sue Wilson’s outer striplet dies. The flower is from The Stamp Market as is the sentiment

Card 2:    I’ve used part of a Dutch Doobadoo stencil, with Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass distress oxides. The flowers are Spellbinders and sentiments from The Stamp Market

Two stunning cards my lovely,  I love that lined detail on both cards.  Both the stamp and stencil have similar effects.  

Card 1's beauty is it's simplicity,  using that striplet outline die with the stamp market flower added on was a brilliant idea, it looks like the flower is part of the frame.

Card 2 is just so pretty, I love everything about it, the colours,  the flowers with their perfectly coloured centres and the split sentiments. Its a gorgeous card.  Thank you so much for supporting the challenge my lovely XXX

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this weeks challenge.

I used chocolate baroque stamp, painted in villainous potion and bundled sage, with a bit of extra green on the leaves.

I think the stencil is one of indigo blues from a magazine.

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

Such a lovely card Lilian, I love purple and green together, it works so well, the crocus stamp is so pretty, beautifully coloured as always.   Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge XXX

Karen's Description:  

Here’s a fractured card for sketch Not my favourite The stag is too low down - I wanted to keep the antlers So I filled the white space with a Tracy Evans stamp

The stag is Daisy B,  I coloured stag with watercolour paints and added a bit of gold glitter to the antlers.

Karen I absolutely love that stag, your colouring is perfect,  I can definitely see the sparkle from the glitter too.  With the background stamping his position is fine,  we can be our own harshest critics at times.  All it needs is a 'Merry Christmas ' and you have a lovely Christmas card.  Thank you so much my lovely for supporting the challenge.XXX
