Morning Peeps, I hope you are all as well as can be during these dreadful times. The Fathers of two of our Daughters in Law have Coronavirus so a worrying time for both of them as indeed it is for thousands of families worldwide. We can only pray that everyone sees the need to observe the stay home and social distancing rules as it seems that is going to be the only way we will ever see some light at the end of this very long tunnel.
So as it's Saturday it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our host this week is Ellie and her theme is 'Flowers and Showers'. This weeks winner will receive a Studio Light floral layering stamp set.
It's also mid month time at
Penny Black and More and
Stamping Sensations challenges so I have those shares as well.
For my Allsorts piece at the top of the post I used a Tattered Lace set to create the base and lattice, I inked a piece of card for the inner sections and stamped flowers which are Heartfelt Creations, and the little image which I stamped and cut out is Inkylicious as is the sentiment.
And one more for Stamping Sensations using
Chocolate Baroque stamps, Versafine Clair inks and a CB sentiment which I thought fitted the theme perfectly.

Beautiful cards Brenda. the lattice one is stunning, but the one that really wow's me is the rainbow of plants at the end.

So sorry to hear that you have members of your extended family suffering from this dreadful virus, I hope that they have a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteA great sentiment on the first card for today's weather, but a much needed spell of rain for our gardens and farmers. Another lovely set of cards again today Brenda, hope you are staying well and positive at this time x

I'm sorry to hear your extended family is having to deal with this virus! Hoping for a quick recovery! Our schools in Illinois are done for the school year now, while we don't have many cases yet in our small town (we now have 4), it's best to keep it that way so the school closings are a good thing, although hard to believe both my kids are sad about it.
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty cards, I love the lattice die you used and currently waiting on the lovely lilacs stamp I ordered recently.
Gorgeous Brenda, hope you are keepong well and safe x
ReplyDeleteYou have made beautiful elegant flower cards Brenda. A lovely shape, design, colours and beautiful flower stamps on the first one. A very elegant design on the second and the third is so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI hope the fathers of your daughter in laws will recover.
Stay safe Marlies x
Three amazing floral creations, I love them all. Those flowers on your Allsorts card are beautiful, worth the fussy cutting.

Absolutely adorable stamps love colours and whole design...hope you are doing well. Sorry to read that the virus has entered the family a tough time..xx
ReplyDeleteOh no--so sorry the 2 men have Covid 19 & pray they recover without ill effects. So very scary. I keep saying if the idiots protesting the stay home orders had the virus themselves or their loved ones, they'd think differently! Your cards are gorgeous, Brenda--love all the pink!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Brenda, especially the rainbow coloured floral one at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your DILs Fathers make a speedy recovery, it must be a very stressful time for them.
Take care, Avril xx
Oh Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear the news about your daughter in laws' fathers. I do hope you'll be able to report some good news about them soon. It was awful to hear from your comment on my blog that you're struggling with no glasses because of the situation too and I really hope you'll be able to get them soon too.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely despite your difficulties. The lattice with the gorgeous flowers is so pretty but it's the gorgeous wildflower cards at the bottom which have blown me away. I particularly like the graduated rainbow effect on the last card and the way you echoed it with your embellishments.
Keep your chin up! Sending hugs,
Vicky x
So sorry to hear about your DIL fathers and hope they recover well.Gorgeous cards and love all the beautiful stamps and the shape of the first card

Such pretty makes, Brenda. Sorry to hear about your SIL's fathers. Hope they are pulling through. We're in a relatively safe place here in Crete, with very few confirmed cases, but no recent ones.
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
