Card catch up - March, April & May

It would appear that I haven't posted any details of my card swaps since February ..... could you stand seeing them all brought up to date here?  Nah!  Wouldn't inflict that on anyone ...... maybe a month or two at a time.
Here we go:
MARCH
Noobie swap

My card used some papers and toppers from Making Cards magazine.

A beautiful mixture of peel offs used on this pretty card.

Thank you Sheila.

Colour swap - Pastels

 My card uses some beautiful paper from my stash with peel offs.

Several embossed diecuts laid out on this card.

Thank you ChrisN.

Style Swap - Floral

Pretty and vintage.

 Lots of hard work gone on creating this card.

Thank you Olive.

I didn't join in with the Technique swap as it was Eclipse cards and I don't have any suitable dies.

APRIL

Noobies swap

I love this little piggy image!  I didn't add a sentiment but left a space for one to be added.

This is a gorgeous piece of embossing - love it.

Thank you LindaS.

Colour Swap - Grey

Grey backgrounds brought this card into the right colour.

Love this design!

Thank you Lucie.

Style Swap  - April Showers



I used one of my Lacey Sunshine images for this card.

Beautiful parchment card from the Boss Lady herself!!

Thank you Jackie.

Technique - Matting and Layering

I'm not very good at this so considered this as practice!!

Another bright and cheerful card.

Thank you Olive.

MAY

Noobie Swap

An image from my stash coloured using watercolour pencils.

A very pretty card with a tiny notecard enclosed.

Thank you LindS

Colour Swap - Brights

I found this background in my stash as I was 'tidying up'.  After adding the bright yellow embellishments I think if fitted the bill.

Now this really is bright and I think the words 'Patience' and 'Job' come to mind when looking at the background.

Thank you Lucie.

Technique swap - Peel Offs

I paper pieced this peel off and added a few butterflies around.  Simple but I think .... sweet.

This is a good idea.... peel offs added to vellum and coloured before fussy cutting.

Thank you Jackie.

I give up with Blogger ..... wish I could figure out how to make it stick with the layout I want!
