Hi everyone, I just came back from a wonderful craft retreat with a group of talented friends (which I’m sure you noticed if you have me in your Facebook or Instagram) and I have some card goodness to share over the next couple of weeks - but I’ve something else to share tonight. The Stamping Royalty contest took place recently and I decided that I enter for the first time. It was a very rushed decision, I sat down to a couple of cards late at night the day before the deadline. Tired. So, figures my mojo wasn’t exactly soaring and I’ve got a few extra cards to share with you instead 
On the first one, I combined PTI stamps (Meadow Greens, Super Stripes) with SSS sentiment (Hello You).
There’s a mixture of stamps on the second card, from Inkadinkado background (Posh Motifs and Trims) which I stamped in white ink, through WPlus9 (Flora & Fauna - dogwoods, paper pieced with vellum and green cardstock) and Neat & Tangled (Dreams - sentiment). I used Spellbinders Labels Four Nestabilities for the double label separated with a twine ribbon banner.
The last card is super simple, I stamped the Penny Black Breezy foliage stamp with various Memento markers - once extra on the die cut circle which I then aligned with the full image - and the sentiment from Kind Words (also by Penny Black) which I inked selectively so that I can replace the existing line separating the sentiment with a custom drew frame. I used a red gel pen for that.
I hope you enjoyed, see you again soon!
Happy Birthday card

Great cards! I would take these any day. 😉
Beautiful cards, Chupa. I really love the thank you card. Thanks for sharing.
These are gorgeous, Chupa, and winners in my book! I absolutely LOVE that first one. However, I came by mostly to say CONGRATS on joining the Wplus9 design team!! 😀
Always remember, when one door closes another WILL be opened!
Thrilled to see you are on the wplus9 design team. Congratulations!!
All gorgeous! Such wonderful, layered stamping in the 1st one, gorgeous colours in the 2nd (especially love the white pop in the sentiment) and I love the the cas style of the 3rd with the clever die cut!
Beautiful cards, all of them, Iwona! I would be very happy if I had created something as beautiful and creative as these. However, I understand your disappointment. Although you didn’t make the cut, you did inspire others to go into their craft rooms are create something beautiful. Thank you for continuing to inspire. All the best.
