Morning everyone, we have a two week challenge at Allsorts to accommodate the Easter break. Our theme as chosen by Sarah is 'Keep it Simple. Prized come from Highlight Crafts and Stamp Addicts, as this challenge straddles two months prizes will fall into our draw on April 26th.
A clean and simple card with a stencilled background, vase is a really old stamp and no idea of the make, stamped cut out and over stamped with AALL and Create Quill Ends (908) and the focal flowers from Woodland (661) again as usual recently stamped then cut out on the Scan and Cut. The sentiment is from my own Believe set. And an envie to match.
Another made quite a time ago but never used, a Gelli Plate circle, the flower Clocks and Flowers (558) and birdies from Blackbird (530). Will admit I'm not sure which set the wording is form other than it's in one of the A&C drawers.
gorgeous flower cards Brenda.........gr karin
ReplyDeleteA wonderful pair of cards Brenda!! Love the top one, that is gorgeous. You must be so glad of you scan'n'cut at the moment!
ReplyDeleteDo hope your arm is improving with no lasting effects... I am pretty functional again, but still a bit tender on the sound site.
Blessings

Two beauties Brenda,
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely floral cards, simple but with plenty of interest too
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Brenda. Love the colours you used on both. Hugs Anesha x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours on your top card and fab stencilling on both. I wish I could get on with my Scan n cut, I've not had a good result with it from buying it second hand. Could you let me know what settings you have it on to cut out stamps please? That's the only thing I would use it for. Have a good weekend x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and simple Easter challenge theme at Allsorts! Your card is a beautiful example of clean and simple design, with the stenciled background and elegant vase stealing the show. The stamped focal flowers and sentiment add just the right amount of charm, and the matching envelope is a delightful touch. It's wonderful to see your creativity shine through in every detail.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Brenda! I particularly like the first with that gorgeous and unusual colour combination. Sorry about turning up to the challenge late last week - Life! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today Brenda, the clean designs give them a lovely fresh look, of course I love the paper-piecing on the first one, great use of your stencils on both designs.

ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous! Very taken with the second one in particular. xxx
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Brenda. My favourite is the first one, I love the colours and the beautiful sentiment.

Those beautifully colored flowers in the vase look amazing with that soft stenciling in the background. the Gelli plate design on the 2nd card looks perfect behind the silhouette floral image too. NJ on both!

Ciao Brenda, due bellissime cards e mi piace tanto specialmente la prima. Quei fiori azzurri sono stupendi, così come il vaso e lo sfondo a stencil. Il tuo sentiment è davvero speciale, così adatto al momento attuale, non solo per te ma per tutti! Lo adoro.
ReplyDeleteTi auguro un buon Sabato sera e una Domenica soleggiata. Qui oggi pomeriggio il sole è uscito fuori, ma l'aria è ancora fredda. Siamo in Primavera!! :)

Fabulous cards. Love the colours and those flowers on the first one and the drama of the black on the second xx
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards this week Brenda, love the stamping, colours and stencilling. Love the stamping over the vase.
ReplyDeleteI think “wander without purpose” is from #389 “Pinecone” … I still only have 4 A4 A&C stamp sets but I still can’t always remember what’s on them, but I was looking at this fab sentiment only the other day.
