May 2021 card challenge no 2

Good morning all. This month I challenge you to create cards with any THREE of the following on them:

FLOWERS
GOLD
RED
FANCY BORDER

I really look forward to seeing your take on this. ENJOY!!!

Great choices. Thanks Yiayia

Ooh may be 6 cards for BTCR this month ;)

Oh, how clever to have spotted the connection Thrifty. I didn't - and I set it - DOH!!!!

Anyway - here are a couple of mine. One for the "standbys" and one for our friend's wedding anniversary next week.
The birthday one is something I did last week when I rediscovered my gilding wax and just wanted a play and the anniversary one just sort of flowed on from that. I am stretching things a b it with that one and hoping that the art deco palm trees on the top arc of the embossing will count as flowers?Attachment 209479Attachment 209480

Like both of those. Nice gilding wax. I always make a mess with mine.

Here's mine, many thanks for making me get into gear and also get my BTCR done early this month.

Oh Ellie, that is SOOOO pretty. I love it.

Thank you Yiayia :)
Ellie

That is very pretty!

Very feminine and a touch of gold, lovely.

A card made for the challenge for my DIL

Wow that is so classy ... is the girl a stamp ...I love it

Thank you... No she’s a stencil. Sadly I had to add extra flowers to cover smudges so I may well make a slightly different one for DIL.

I think it looks perfect

The flowers are very 70's and she looks like Twiggy, great stencil and great card Elaine. Something very different too.

What a great selection of cards, all so different but all lovely.

Stunning card Elaine, love the flower additions, isn’t it great that we can just cover up mistakes with something else :)

Heres one from me...

Ellie

Classic and classy Alison.

Oh I like that Alison, very modern and stylish.

This is mine .. it doesn't show too well but the poppy stamens and some of the petals are 3d.
