Inspiring cards and a plate

 I love the vibrant colours in Clairebears' beautiful card:

 She also made this card for the current challenge:

I just couldn't resist showing you a few of the cards made by the DYSU DT for their challenge last week:

Denise's card, is gorgeous, delicate and all sweet pastel colours:

Miranda's card, just as gorgeous and delicate, uses a completely different neutral pallete with bits of pink here and there.

Of course, the images can be used for other things rather than cards and scrapbooks. I painted this plate in Artworks Cafe in Portmarnock, when we had a ladies night a few weeks ago. It is also a great place to bring the children to paint their own plate or mug during the summer. The price depends on the piece you choose,  mine cost €15 and included the plate, materials and firing. 

This week, I'd like to give a little prize to Clairebears, since she never got a freebie from me. And of course, because her cards are gorgeous!
