Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts where Mervi would like to see Balloons. Prizes come from AALL and Create.
A short post, it was scheduled ready but realised last minute I'd not done the write up. Not been the best of weeks and to top it all infection and constant migraines now playing havoc with my dodgy eyes, so not feeling on my game.
Both shares were samples for Stamp Addicts TV shows a few months ago but never shared, using what were then new release stamps, Pan Pastels for colour and dies.
More stamps to tempt me with... I have this weakness for scenic stamps and this mountain looks wonderful! The balloons are great too.
ReplyDeleteI hope migraines and infection lose their grip so you can enjoy your crafting or the spring sun (or both!). x
Fab scenic stamping using balloons and perfect for the current Allsorts theme of course!
ReplyDeleteSending get well wishes your way. Xxx
Two lovely examples of cards with these great scenic stamps. Here's hoping your current health problems fly away on one of these balloons - now wouldn't that be a great solution 😊. Take care x

A beautiful serene scene on the first. Love the layout on the second one with another lovely little scene too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your tough week and health challenges. Despite that, your creations are absolutely stunning! The use of Pan Pastels for color adds such depth and softness to the designs. Sending positive thoughts for better days ahead.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're still not feeling well Brenda. These are two fab cards. Love the blue and pink one and the top one looks like a mini masterpiece to go on a wall! x
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards Brenda, my favourite is the first with that wonderful tranquil scene, I love the way you've framed it too.
ReplyDeleteYou really have been through the mill lately, it's awful to be in pain and feel ill, with one thing after another, you do brilliantly to keep going and make the best of it. I hope your migraines and eyes improve soon- and that much-cancelled procedure is rescheduled quickly.

I love the peaceful, serene scene you created in the first and I really like all the great stenciling and stamping in the 2nd. Sending biggest hugs and best wishes for better days ahead. Take good care of yourself. Hugs

ReplyDeleteCiao cara Brenda, spero che le medicine facciano regredire al più presto l'emicrania e le infezioni!! E che dall'ospedale ti chiamino di nuovo al più presto per quella benedetta procedura!!
ReplyDeleteDue splendide cards, sono così armoniose e danno un senso di pace!! La scena nella prima card è davvero stupenda, così rilassante! E adoro come hai usato le differenti sezioni della seconda card, e quel tocco di stencil delicato aggiunge molto interesse!
Abbi cura di te!!! Un grande abbraccio
Two beautiful cards Brenda, the scene with the yachts is lovely. Hoping you soon feel better.

Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear of your infection and migraines and not feeling up to your normal self, Brenda. I really hope things improve for you soon. Your first card reminds me of Summer and hopefully what is to come. Your second card sectioned off with the lovely colour mix is gorgeous. I have both those stamps. You've given me some inspiration. Take care. x
