Cotswold Crafter

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

We were treated to some lovely sunshine yesterday afternoon which was a welcome bonus.  I hope that you were all treated to some too.  We didn't do anything exciting,  food shopping in the morning and garden jobs in the afternoon, I don't understand why food shopping takes so long, especially as we are quite boring and tend to buy the same things each week!  

I enjoyed making cards using the TicTacToe grid this week as you can see.  Let's have a look and see if you enjoyed it too....

Maria

TicTacToe Categories: 

Bold Sentiment/ Shades of One colour/ Stamping 

Maria made this amazing version of the Book Fold Easel card that I shared with you last Saturday. 

I really love that beautiful paper you have used, it literally looks like you have done a lovely Distress Ink blended background.  That die cut you used for the stopper is lovely too.

Thank you so much for having a go at the tutorial, it makes it so worthwhile. 

Thanks also for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Karen's Description:

1) Here’s a card for the challenge 

Bold sentiment - Patterned paper (a la Serif) - Shades of one colour.

2)  Here’s a Christmas card 

Bold sentiment - Patterned paper (a la Serif it has Merry Christmas running through it) shades of one colour 

I can’t remember which die company the sentiment is from.

Love this card Karen,  how funny that you and Maria both chose green!

The paper looks like you have created it yourself,  I think your hand drawn border makes the whole card,  that sentiment is lovely,  is that Serif or a stamp?

I really love your Christmas card too,  the sentiment is lovely and works so well with that lovely subtle background 😍 

Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge Karen, particularly as its been  tough week,  sending hugs XXX

Lilian's Description:

Hi, here is my page for this week:

I used , flowers/ circles/ stencilling. I used my ephemeral books for the butterfly and flowers. Added a bit of colour with pit pastel pencils. The background is from the stamping up papers.

Oh Lilian what a gorgeous journal page, that SU paper is the perfect background to your flower, at first I thought it was all one paper.  That flower is beautiful,  it has so much detail.  The colours match the butterflies perfectly too. 

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful card with us for this weeks challenge. XXX
