Lucky Green

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful entries to our Tessellation challenge by Leo last week.

It's Samm here and this weeks' challenge is

'Lucky Green'

Yes, St Patrick's day is on its way, so I challenge you to make a card using the main colour as green and feature 'luck' somewhere on your card. It's one of those colours we hardly ever get to use so I hope it gets you all digging around in your crafty stash and creating frantically!

Here's what the design team came up with:

Tessellation

Thank you to all who joined in with Kathy's pretty colour challenge last week - it was lovely to pop along to your blogs and see what you all created!

This week it's Leo here to bring you your next dare.......

'Tessellation'

I'd like you to create a card featuring a tessellating pattern. You can probably remember doing tessellation in math class at school right? Basically all you're doing is making a pretty pattern with shapes that fit together perfectly on all sides, like tiling. It's up to you how you interpret the dare so it could be a pattern on a paper already made or even a pattern you make yourself, have fun! :) x Leo

Here are this weeks cards from the team:

Marie Antoinette

Thanks to all of you that joined in with Rein's fabulous post theme last week. It was great to see so many fantastic cards.

This week's challenge:

I want to see your Vintage Parisian/Palace of Versailles creations as this week's theme is

Marie Antoinette

There are lots of possibilities with this theme - your card doesn't necessarily have to feature the Queen herself, but can be in a Baroque/Palace of Versailles style, or something inspired by the fantastic gowns and wigs she wore. Or, you could even opt for a 'let them eat cake' inspired card (even though she apparently never actually said that!)

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!
