CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #180 - hosted by Jo

 I hope all are well.  We are slowly getting closer to some warmer weather  and oodles of chocolate.  Whoopee.

This is my card for this challenge.  I don't very often make Easter Cards but I wanted to make something to show off some more of the nail art I have been buying - so here it is - an Easter Card:

This was an image purchased from Aliexpress - and here it is before I played with it:

I used my ACDSee programme to digitally enhance and improve the light and the colours and then added a border and some text.

Then I had fun with my new nail art delivery.  I have bought quite a bit more since I showed you the cards made back in February.  I also have some more on its way at this very moment.  Naughty I know - but  I need to keep busy and occupied.

I think I managed to visit everyone for the last challenge and I enjoyed looking at everybody's hard work and inventiveness.  If I missed anyone please forgive me.

See you soon.

Hugs

 Geisha Girl

Good Morning one and all.  My card for this challenge is - I confess - one I have done before a few times - using a pattern from Stitching cards.  It makes a special unfussy card for a female relative or friend.

I have used a plain background as I prefer the pattern and style of the sweet Geisha to show up  and not fight other patterns and colours.

I hope all are well and making the most of the 'drier ' weather even though it is  chillier. 

The new nail art from China that I mentioned in a previous posting has arrived -  so I will be having fun playing with those.  I might have something ready for our next challenge.  We'll see.

Hugs to all

A Linzoos stitch pattern - second time of making

 Butterflies galore:-

I have sat and stitched P88 again in different colourways. It does take a while to do. Several evenings in fact. The central butterfly is a die-cut that I made when I was still doing quite a lot of die-cutting before stitching took over.

Here is a photo of the 1st time I used this pattern.

 Good Morning,

I hope that all are well.  I am slowly feeling much more betterer (family saying) but I must admit to it being a very slow progress.  I mustn't moan though  - as it is going the right way.

                             

Here is my card for our latest challenge.  I must admit to having stitched this one before but it is a favourite.  I think it is the eyes.  The Goat is one of a series of 6 farm animals from Stitching Cards.  I already have a couple more of them  in the pipe line to show you - just because I love doing them.

I hope all are well.  We didn't see many of you in the last challenge.   Hopefully it wasn't the bad weather that kept you away.   The rain has been horrendous and can do so much damage - so I hope it wasn't that.

 I did show you some cards I recently made using watercolour images together with Nail Art.   I got "into it" again as they say, and popped onto Aliexpress - to order some more to play with and am now just waiting for the delivery.

Please note that the challenges will now close at 9 pm on the second Friday of the Challenge. e.g This challenge will close at 9 pm on the 13th of March 2026.

Take care and I look forward to visiting you all.

Hugs
