I made this...

[here be dragons]

I like those watercolour backgrounds too

I made this card with a Moroccan border ... a bit fiddly placing all the pearls and crystals, but I am pleased with the effect.

That is stunning, Wendy !

[Mystik Nat]

Very nice indeed Wendy, and perfectly lined up too! I would never manage that.

Here are a couple from me that aren't for the 52 cards challenge:

A little stamp testing with some new Avery Elle stamps that ended up becoming a card:



And a little bit of bright neon to brighten up the day:

Another colour of makes.

Stash resurrection - KI Memories Just Married collection from 2006, who knew their papers would be bang on trend in 2014 with all that grey, mint and diamond patterns:



And another from the same collection:


And a recent one playing with the same Avery Elle stamps, but this time with the dies:

Are those tags a die or cutting file Nat? They are very effective

I was asked by a work colleague to make a 45th wedding anniversary card on Wednesday.... to be ready for Thursday morning ...... Here it is, I am quite pleased with it, but might have done it a little differently with more time!

That is really beautiful !

[Mystik Nat]

They're all dies Wendy. Well done on your quick turn-around with that request! Nothing like leaving it to the last minute... but I am sure that lovely card went down well.

[SilverTiger2]

Nat - all those cards are lovely - it would be hard to choose a favourite - but - the bunny is high on the list !

[Susie.A]

What absolutely stunning cards, I'm loving all the different techniques.

Wendy isn't that always the way, people think you can knock up a card just out of thin air mind you did and it was fantastic.

Fi, so many really pretty cards, all just so lovely.

Nat, they are all lovely as always but the bunny is just adorable! How do you find the time???

Carole, beautiful selection of cards. I love the boxes such beautiful colours but I also love the Valentine's cards for their simplicity.

Ang, the watercolours are amazing. I used to sit out in the garden and paint cards quite a few years ago now and hubby always said he loved them. Mind you, they didn't look like yours!

Here are a couple more.

Getting my money's worth out of that Coming Up Roses stamp and die set by Wplus9:



And also using up some of my favourite MME collection for this month's colour challenge on the Daring Cardmakers blog:

My 'train mad' cousin has a birthday coming up - so I have been playing! Not sure which one I will send him. Have graded the depth of the decoupage to make it look as though the trains are coming out of the pictures.

That is so clever SilverTiger, they really look as though they are coming right out of the tunnel.

Superb pop up cards Sarah.

Faberoonie, super cards, great to see everyone's creations and I love the trains coming out at you

I made a pop up card for a 50th and the person I made it for showed a friend and I had an email pop in my inbox, the friend wants me to make a 100th wow for the referral and this will be my first card made for someone who will be a century has made me smile this morning

This is the one I made for the 50th - and I have popped on one that I made for a Christmas card (I have a tutorial on my blog (pop up card) if you want to have a go, they are really simply yet very effective)

[SilverTiger2]

100th Birthday - how exciting ! Your pop-up boxes are lovely and, as you say, very effective.
