Your Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies 

I hope today finds you all as well as possible,  I also hope that storm Kathleen hasn't caused you too much disruption.  

As I start this post the wind is whizzing the washing around so fast on the rotary line it looks like its going to take off ! 🤣  it will be lovely to get it dry though as it is all towels. 

We popped out yesterday morning to go and order two tonnes of top soil/compost,  that will be delivered on Monday, then the hard work really begins, barrowing that lot down to vegetable garden!!  I'll tell the girls it will be better than a visit to the gym!! 😉

Your Spring Challenge cards 

Janet

Janet's Description:

My card is 8x8 in size. The papers I used are STAMPERIA which is one of their latest sets. They also have die cuts to decorate and match the papers. The set is named PRECIOUS and shows the beauty of flowers and music.

Janet I cannot tell you how much happiness it gives me sharing one of your cards, I love the thought of you sitting and crafting.  

Your card is so beautiful,  those papers are stunning, your die cut sentiment is equally as lovely and works perfectly with your design. 

Thank you so much my lovely XXX

Sonia's Description:

An old one to share ☺️ I used Anna Marie patterned paper for the background, distressing the edges. The butterfly by Tim Holtz and sentiments from The Stamp Market. The little flowers are Spellbinders.

It may be old but its certainly beautiful,  I have loads of Anne Marie papers somewhere that I must use!  I love composition of your card the butterfly looks like its part of the paper!  

Thank you so much my lovely XXX

Hi, hope you are well and the weather is playing nicely for you.

This my card for this week,

I used Tim Holtz floral trim for the main focal, the swirls are from a set called urban chic also one of Tim’s. Coloured with Kuretake water colours, plus a bit of silver embossing powder.inspiration from a lady on Pinterest , sorry can’t find her name.

Have a lovely weekend.

WOW Lilian your card looks like a Stamperia Paper, so detailed and beautifully coloured,  its amazing how different that stamp looks coloured in different mediums. 

Thank you so much for taking part despite being in pain my lovely XXX

I made this version of card earlier today I wanted to try a very simple CAS card

The sentiment was written on ScanNCut The image is a Julie Hickey stamp - Spring Jug which I cut on ScanNCut with a 2ml border and added to card with foam pads I quite like the touch of pink

Card 2) I made a colour version of the previous card Coloured with pencils and added some clear drops

I think I prefer the one with just the hearts coloured in

Two lovely cards, each of them is as lovely as the other, you need different style/type of card for different people or occasions.  You are so inspiring me with that Scan&Cut, the one main thing I originally wanted mine for was 

A) to be able to cut stamped images, but I tried so many times to cut a snowflake stamp I have,  it just wouldn't work,  I lack perseverance,  so I gave up.

B) to be able to cut different sentiments.  Again I tried with little success! 

Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge

Maria's Description:

Here are my Spring coloured cards for Sunday.

1. The tulip topper is from an old calender 2016 and works well for this challenge. Never throw anything away 🤭

2. Here I used a stamp in my collection and coloured it in with my watercolor pencils. It's lovely isn't when the weather gets better and the washing can be hanged out. 

3. Here I played with some purple/ lilac papers and made it into a sunburst. I also found some paper flowers in my stash that fitted ok.

Thank you so much Maria for 3 amazing cards, all three are beautiful,  the tulip ones is so pretty and has the perfect Spring colours,  I love the image of the lady pegging out the laundry too, lastly that pretty design works so beautifully with those lavender shades.

Thanks again my lovely XXX

Ladies thank you so very much for another beautiful display of cards ❤️ 

Hopefully the wind will drop a little today, it was terrible in the afternoon yesterday I literally struggled to stand up let alone walk. 

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday,
