February Theme Challenge

Hello again, from Lucinda.

It was wonderful to see the great colour challenge entries last week. We have already reached week three of February and our theme challenge.

This was the hardest challenge for me to decide on. I wanted something that would give a range of options for all card making styles, and that I thought would be fun to play with.

So, although we're a card challenge and don't allow tags as entries, this week I invite you to use tags on your cards. This could be in an image, a sentiment, a topper, or even a tag shaped card.




Here are our design team cards to hopefully get your creative juices flowing - pop by their blogs to leave some love!
 























 
 
Just a quick reminder of the rules:
  • This is a CARD challenge - so no 3D projects, tags or ATCs
  • Only new projects - no back-linking
  • Please link directly to your POST, not to the whole of your blog
  • Please show the challenge graphic above on your challenge post
  • You must link up by midnight Friday (7.00pm EDT) to be considered for Winner or Honourable Mentions
  • And please turn off word verification in order to make commenting easier - thank you


Deadline for entry to this challenge is midnight GMT on Friday 26th of  February  -
that's 7.00pm EDT for those of you in the States. 

Have fun!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

February Colour Challenge

Hello, Lucinda here with you again.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful entries for our sketch challenge.

It's now time for a colour combination to inspire you.

The colours I have chosen for us to play with this week are pink, purple and blue. I wanted colours next to each other on the colour wheel to allow blending and mixing of colours if you want to play with those techniques. But of course, what you do with the colours is up to you!

These three colours must be used on your card. White, silver and a little black are also allowed if you wish to use them; no other colours can appear on your card.  


 
 
Our guest designer for this month's challenge is:



As always, our design team have created some beautiful cards to inspire you - do check out their blogs.

February Sketch Challenge

Hello, and welcome to the second month of challenges for 2021. I'm Lucinda, and I'll be hosting the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for February. I hope you enjoy the challenges I've chosen.

As always, we start the month with a sketch.

This is the design I would like you to create with this week:


You can rotate or flip it, and change the shapes and proportions, as long as we can see the basic sketch in your card. I hope this inspires your creative juices, whatever your card making style.

Our design team have created some beautiful cards to inspire you - do check out their blogs.
 

Our guest designer for this sketch challenge is:


And today we are pleased to welcome the NEW member of our Design Team

I used to work in the Travel Industry, managing Travel Agencies and so I travelled a lot. My Husband is from Scotland, so we used to visit family every year (before Covid). I have 2 grown up children and 2 cute, but naughty dogs! 
I’ve been stamping and making cards, on and off for 20 years. I really got enthused about 8 years ago, when I started playing in challenges and made my blog.

Here is her beautiful card
