Showcase #332 - Sweet Things

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post.

It's never an easy job to select our favourites but we do love seeing all your stunning takes on the challenge in our gallery each week.

So here goes with our choices, in order of entry for

 

Viv

Viv did some fantastic work with all these bits of digital images and she added the perfect shadows to make this One Layer Card look dimensional. It is a terrific CAS card.

Pauline

Hard to find a sweeter image than these two mice ! The soft pink stripes make it even sweeter. Another fantastic piece of work with digital images that makes a one layer card look dimensional.

Cornelia

We all loved these delicious rainbow Popsicles! They are so luminous and they really pop against the kraft card. It was a brilliant idea to highlight them even more with white patterns.

 

Congratulations ladies and please help yourself to a ShowCASe badge from the page at the top of the blog with our thanks. We hope you'll display it proudly on your individual blogs.

We're sure you'll agree these are a wonderful trio and worthy of our ShowCASe badge this week. Do pop along and congratulate them on their win.

ShowCASe #311 - Neapolitan

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post.

We has some really super entries into our last challenge and we want to thank you all for taking the time to make cards to support us. It's never an easy job to select our favourites but we do love seeing all your stunning takes on the challenge in our gallery each week.

So here goes with our choices, in order of entry for 

 

Bobby

This fun card brought a smile to our faces with its humorous sentiment and cute medicine bottles. We love Bobby's brave use of empty space and minimal design elements to make the bottles a strong focal point on a truly CAS card

 

 

Conil

A traditional interpretation of our challenge colours but with a twist - they're beautifully coloured into one Neapolitan cornet! The delicate splatters in the background perfectly set off the ice cream and give a feeling of lightness and freshness. 

 

 

Darnell

Darnell used our challenge colours for a bold, warm look that we love. The clean lines of the Cattails and the inlaid die cutting combined with the vertical dry embossed sentiment keep the card unified and CAS while packing it full of visual interest.

Hey there LIMettes, we're back with another challenge for you and it's that one you all LOVE and HATE in equal measures ... it's the ONE layer card week!

As always please keep your designs Clean & Simple with lots of clean white / blank space and do check our Challenge Guidelines at the top right of the blog along with our 'How to Play' page at the top.

Showcase #330 - Shimmer

Well, that shimmer challenge certainly seemed to be one of your favourites LIMettes! You gave us such a difficult job this week selecting only 3 cards to showcase, but we had to narrow it down. Thank you all for sharing your stunning takes on the challenge in our gallery each week.

So here goes with our choices, in order of entry for 

Elaine

 

Love these whimsical flowers.  Super creative design with bright colors and 

the perfect amount of shimmer!

Aileen

 

Such a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  Aileen's coloring is amazing that the flowers just come to 

life on the card.  She added the perfect amount of shimmer to the flowers and

 a wonderfully sparkly simple sentiment.

Gunilla

This card will make anyone smile.  The design is simple and fun.  Terrific color 

and perfect dimension!
