Hello everyone!
The prompts for this month are up on my blog together with some additional hints for how to interpret them on your cards - you can find them here.
As always full info about this challenge can be found here in the January post.
Here are the images - hope you enjoy!
Hoping the recent winter weather that has befallen my part of the country soon disappears and summer can begin in earnest!

Nice card Frances. Like how the cut out trees co-ordinate with the deers.
Ellie.
Here's mine. Ellie.
Aww sweet cards ladies.
Here is my Flamingo card.. for my MIL.. she has a large Pink Flamingo in her bathroom! (Don't ask!)
The second card is for my son and DILs 3rd wedding anniversary.
I know the black isn't in the scheme..but the other colours are.
Here's two more too with elements of the examples
What gorgeous cards ladies, you have all been so busy.
As Ellie said, I also like the way the trees and reindeers co-ordinate Frances.
That is the cutest snowman I've ever seen Ellie and such pretty backing paper.
You have been really busy Elaine haven't you. They are all lovely cards but I particularly love the flamingo and that shade of pink is just gorgeous.
Nothing from me - yet!:lol:
I'm sure you will post something soon Susie :)
Lovely cards Elaine. Love the Fathers Day one. I have some stamps like that and
I use them frequently. Especially good for men's cards.
That's a gorgeous large butterfly , very effective.
Ellie.
Wow, you lot have been busy!
Fab takes on the prompts! :D
I have been awol with a yucky cold - why are summer colds so much worse than winter ones!
I still need to get my Christmas prompt card made, but I do have one for the main prompt ready to blog when I get a moment. :)
My "general" card ...

Like those colours Frances, very summery.
Love that quirky sun.
Ellie.
Here is a card I made using acrylic paints and archival ink for my sons birthday
Lovely card Frances
Nice card Elaine. Like the dragonfly, it looks like a silhouette .
Ellie
You're so right Ellie, it does look like a silhouette. It's such a beautiful card Elaine, very artistic.
Meant to say I have one to upload but what a lousy photo. The background paper is a gorgeous pearlescent card with a swirl and I printed it off in green to pick out the flowers. One side yu can just about make out the swirl but on the left it looks like plain card stock. Can't take another photo because it's gone now.:lol: Just have to remember how to upload now.
Post to thread..go to advanced (underneath the quick reply box) add your comment, scroll down and add image.. How annoying about the photo of the card!
Thanks for your kind comments on my card..I'm enjoying trying new techniques.
Thanks Elaine. I always put it in the gallery so if I lose it off my computer I can always copy it back from the gallery. Ooh forgotten to post it here now!:lol:

Fingers crossed that should do it. I'm not sure if it really fits the prompts, maybe the green but it's going in for this month anyway.:D
Oh that's a lovely card Susie. I can see what you mean about the colour.
Really like those flowers and the ribbon just sets it off. Lovely
Ellie.
Thanks Ellie and Elaine for the kind comments. I didn't even know how off the colour in the photo was until I put it on the computer. Never mind, it's how it looks in real life that counts.
I had these scraps of retro paper, that were the right colours,
So I figured that I would go the whole hog and make it totally retro.
Ellie.
Great cards everyone! I have finally got myself organized enough to get a photo of my card for the main prompt and finally posted it on my blog! ^_^

Fab retro card Ellie.
Super photo of yours too Nat.
Here's mine using the black, gold and the stars from the scheme..it's the first shaker card I've done. It's for my DS2s GF
Nice card Elaine, I'm sure she will like it.
I've never made a shaker card, will have to give it a try.
Ellie.
Thanks Ellie
Have you all seen this link http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/...05#post6667605
Yes Elaine , I have made a card and sent it off?
It's such a terrible disease, I hope that Eloise has lots of cards.
Ellie.
