Your Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

Did Saturday even happen?? Im not sure what happened to ours but it seemed we were getting up one minute and going to bed the next!!  I wasn't feeling great so dozed off a couple of times.  I went out with Paul to shops but I didn't have the energy to do anything other than nap in the car, it felt nice to get out of those 4 walls.  I was also very conscious of not infected anyone else!    We have no plans for today, see how we feel and maybe Paul will mow lawns, he has been left with a really frustrating cough, its much worse at night which is frustrating for both of us.  I am hoping I don't get the same, thankfully so far I don't seem to be as congested.

1)   Here’s one of the milestone birthday cards A googled image and added speech bubbles over the top of the original ones from Serif

The background is our club badge

2)  Here’s another (milestone) birthday card and is following on from the Pinterest challenge A design by Mary Irvine for Julie Hickey I created the papers in Serif

Oh Karen your first card is absolutely brilliant,  I love the idea and it couldn't be more perfect, using the club badge as the background was an added touch of genius !! 

Your second card is so pretty, I love the delicate background you created and the colours are so delicate.  

Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge my lovely XXX

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this week, tried to follow your instructions,but couldn’t get the pop up to work, it kept catching on the embossing back layer.

Have just decorated it with chip board pieces from house of roses.

First of all I'd like to thank you for having a go at the tutorial that I did last weekend,  it really does mean a lot 😊 

Your card is beautiful,  I love how you have decorated it, using the fence along that border strip was such a brilliant idea, everything else ties in perfectly.  I did find the pop-up piece frustrating too, I ended up making three different ones, I also had to keep repositioning them because I needed the flowers perfectly lined up with the vase.  Its so hard to explain clearly in a written tutorial.  You would never guess that you had struggled by looking at your card though.  

Thank you so much XXX

Maria's Description:

I made this swing card for the CC this week. I tried to follow a written tutorial but couldn't understand it so did my own way and thankfully it worked 🤭 not perfect but good enough I think 🤔🤣

Take care. I hope we can do a Watford when you are back as I think everyone is busy before.....

Many hugs 🥰 xx 

It is perfect Maria,  I love the colour combination too,  I think any kind of kinetic card gives the recipient an extra bit of fun, the lacy edged shapes you have used give an extra touch of luxury,  are they your new Hunkydory dies that you won? 

I am looking forward to our next Watford meet up too, we must all check our diaries, we are back from Holiday around the 11th September, so maybe late September ??

Thank you so much for taking part in the Challenge my lovely XXX 

Sue

Sue had some time to herself yesterday so managed to sit and finish a card that she has had on her desk for a few weeks.

The wreath itself is lovely,  so full of foliage, can I ask if its one die, or dies that you layer up??

It makes a perfect aperture card, the decorations are cute too.  Kraft card and dark green are a great combination.  The sentiment is perfect for the card too. 

Thank you so much for sharing your card with us XXX
