Morning Peeps another new challenge at Allsorts where Ellie would like us to 'Use Design Papers' for the chance of winning a super stamp from Chocolate Baroque and a second prize of two craft stencils. I also have my shares from my post over at the Chocolate Baroque blog here.
It's Birthday weekend here, hubby's, mine and eldest Grandson and one Granddaughter. Hubby and I are going to Daniel Cliffords Midsummer House today for his Tasting Menu which is always very special. It will be our first restaurant meal and trip to Cambridge since the initial lockdown last March. Then tomorrow a family day which has to be in the garden due to the size of our immediate family so hoping it's at least dry, we have not seen some of our children and grandchildren since before COVID so really looking forward to seeing those who are travelling long distances to be with us.
A really simple make, dies to create the frame and a sentiment cut from the same DP, the Carnations which are from Chocolate Baroque Fresh Florals which were inked direct to stamp with Distress Markers and some sequins to embellish.........which strangely I just noticed look turquoise in my photo but they are a lightish green.
All details for the following cards can be found on the blog here.
Happy weekend one and all.

All your cards are lovely, but I really like the first one, and cutting the die in the same paper is a great tip

Enjoy your birthday weekend - have a wonderful time.
Your first card is so very pretty and the sentiment co-ordinating with the background is so clever. Love your inky makes they look great especially the trio of houses on the print background.

Buon Compleanno Brenda!!! E Auguri anche a tuo marito e ai tuoi nipoti! Sono sicura che sarà una giornata davvero speciale, tutti assieme a festeggiare dopo tanto tempo!!! Spero che anche il meteo sia favorevole!
Oggi le tue card sono tutte così belle che davvero non saprei scegliere la preferita...!! Che dire... Sono tutte così vibranti e i design sono davvero interessanti e originali!! La carta patterned a quadrettini nella prima si abbina così bene al frame e ai piccoli deliziosi garofani, mi ricorda i ricami di quando ero piccola e davvero fa sorridere di dolcezza!!
La card per CB con quei due frame irregolari ha un feel antico, sembra di entrare in un libro di favole!! Bellissimi i colori vibranti!!
La slimline è così luminosa e delicata, un mattino di tranquillità in un paesaggio da sogno.
E l'ultima card è davvero un'esplosione di gioia con quelle tonalità di arancio e i fiori danzanti davanti alla casa e il bellissimo sentiment!
Buon weekend anche a te, goditelo!!!
Lovely cards Brenda..all so different...your creativity is very versatile. I wish you a very Happy Birthday and I hope you have a wonderful time catching up with all the family that you haven't seen for a long time. Have a great weekend! xx
All beautiful cards Benda especially the carnation one, a lovely effect with the sentiment.
Wishing you, your husband and grandchildren a very Happy Birthday, have a lovely day with your family. Marlies x
