There are so many great cardmakers around the world and you can see a selection of these from the people who enter cards in the challenges. Thank you Kristina for allowing us to take up the challenge, and giving us colours to think about.

Inks: Chocolate chip, Tempting Turquoise

Stamps: Friendship Blooms

Accessories: Bali Breeze designer paper(tempting turquoise), brown ribbon, chipboard flower cutout

Glittering Butterfly - K Werner Challenge - 46

I was waiting by the computer this afternoon to see if the next Kristina Werner challenge-46 had been posted and it had been. The challenge has become a ritual for me and keeps me stamping in between working, being a mum, and doing all the other stuff us mums do everyday.

This weeks challenge had me stumped for a while as I had the base of my card complete and then I did'nt know what to put on it next but inspiration came to me and away I went again.

Finding Joy - K Werner Challenge - 45

Well it's time again for another Kristina Werner Challenge, I didn't find this hard because I had only just done a card similar to this but in greens, just the other day.
