House of Cards July Challenge . . . . . . . . . . .Photo Inspiration


Good morning blogging pals. Hope everyone's tickety is very boo!

Welcome to Anne who has joined our happy band. I met Anne and Jan from Northampton last Thursday at John's workshop. Lovely ladies and definitely see you again tomorrow Anne, if you're on Sue's first session. Sorry Jan can't make it.

No more puddles found since Sunday, thankfully. Still, it could have been a lot worse (I'd rather find a puddle than a pile. . . . . . . .isn't that a Simon and Garfunkle song?)

Now, today its time for July's challenge at House of Cards. Fortunately, Mynn is happy for me to have another term on the team and this months challenge is a photo inspiration. . . . . . .

Food and/or colour

So please pop over and check out what the rest of the gals have done and join in the fun.

I remembered that I had some fruity paper (steady chaps!) that I was going to use for a MAWTT challenge but didn't as I had hurt my wrist (just before I was poxed. . . . . . .and yes, still using BB cream so I think my career move into modelling is over)

Anyhoo, I decided to use it here and try and use some of the colours too.


Ingredients
White card
Mint green card (Lidl)
First Edition Family Ties 12x12 pad (for the cherry papers)
Sissixs Square dies
John Lockwood's Cherry Blossom Elements stamps (had to be with the cherry paper)
Hobbycraft corner punch
Wendy's (Spanish Crafter) pretty pins
CE dazzler 
CE double sided ribbon
Memento Dewdrop Rhubarb Stalk ink
Antique linen DI
Pearls


I'm sure this will be a Marmite card but when ya gotta roll with a theme, you just gotta roll.

Karen, there is a shop on site at CE Towers so its temptation on a stick when I go to help John. If you're there for a workshop, you get 10% off on the day.

Hope you can join it over at House of Cards.

Have a great day.

  2. Afternoon Ang, a very good interpretation of the design challenge. It could have been so easy to go along the strawberry design but you have been more subtle with the peach and brown shades. Janice xxx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com

  6. Hello huni, so sorry to have been so MIA over the last few months, am hoping things are going to improve. I used to go to CE Towers when I first started stamping - love the courses I did there and I learnt so much too. Sadly it's a bit too far for me at the moment but one day I will go back there lol!
    Love this card, have a wee bit of an obsession with this paper - it's so lush! I’m really looking forward to working with you and seeing more of your beautiful projects and hopefully visiting more often too Karen xx

  7. Hi Ang just catching up on your lovely cards that I have missed. Wimbledon is eating into my blogging time and into my sleeping time too.
    Love the colour combo in this card and the cherries. Oh to get some nice fresh cherries yum. Spring is just around the corner for us although they have promised Snow down to 400 metres today. Brrrr.

  10. Hi Ang! Love the cherries on the card. It is cherry season here in Colorado and I have been "pigging out" on them while I can get them! I love that you added the cherry blossoms from John too! Can't wait to see some of the new stuff you bought on your last trip! Have a great day!

  18. Good morning Ang what a clever interpretation going with the cherries. I had a little smile to myself though when I read you had used rhubarb ink, trying to imagine a dish of rhubarb as the focal point! Enjoy your day at The Towers today. Soon be time for First Practice so enjoy the weekend love from Jackie xx

  30. Ang!! It was Maureen K we were to meet. Unfortunately she did not make it. Her brother died just before she was due to leave to catch the train.
    At least she was there with the family.
