Hi there
I often want to enter challenges, but invariably am far too late by the time I get round to making something that’s relevant.
Today’s cards are simple, and were meant to fulfill the “elegant” criteria on the
So instead I’m entering them into their new challenge….”I love”
Because I LOVE Stamping!
I really do. I’ve tried all sorts (pun intended teehee ) of crafts but I get the most fun from stamping.
I stamped simple backgrounds, having stamped and masked the ladies,
Then paper pieced their outfits with some of the marble paper, that’s free during sale a bration.
.
Navy, blue, black and white….
Navy, pink, black and white.
I’m also entering the Dichromatic challenge at Seize the Birthday.
I’d never heard that word, but it’s using two colours with optional neutrals,
Which in this case are black and white.
I have two birthdays coming up for two ladies, so these will do nicely.
I didn’t feel sentiments were necessary, so I just did those inside.
I hope you are safe and well, with all that’s going on in this world.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and leave your comments
Fabulous pair of cards. Awesome even!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to put the sentiment inside only and not distract from the images on the card front. Xxx
Both cards are so elegant and I love how the classy lady has been coloured and pops against the fabulous background stamping x. I know exactly what you mean about challenge deadlines x.
ReplyDeleteDiversification is great Lesley and these are super cards, certainly fitted the elegant theme and equally this weeks new one. Thanks so much for joining in.

Shame you missed the 'Elegant' challenge but you are nice and early with the current one. Two great cards! I'm finding it difficult to chose an absolute favourite technique for this one - keep dithering which is something I'm very good at 😉
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely cards! The soft grey backgrounds frame the fashionable ladies beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley,
ReplyDeletethese are really gorgeous and so elegant too, but as you say they will go for this weeks challenge also.
Love the wonderful stamped designs and brilliant paper pieceing too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
