Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts and this week I'm your host and my chosen theme is Getting Sentimental but there's always the A/G option. Our September prizes contains goodies from Craft Stash and Highlight Crafts.
I've always loved inspirational quotes and was so fortunate when a stamp company wanted to carry those I created along with Create and Craft. The one above is from my Believe set.
This card went to our eldest Son after he received his 'gong' at Buckingham Palace in May, the sentiment is very appropriate to his personality. Stamps are all Lavinia, Open Dandelion, Wild Summer Flower and Orchard Grass, a part masked frame and colour added to the focal images, very simple but I think effective.
This one features my all time favourite Penny Black sentiment Dance, Sing, Love (2695J), the frame is a Sweet Poppy stencil coloured with inks and the sentiment stamped into the middle and matching envie, this went to one of our Granddaughters, in fact it was her Dad who received the above card.

Two great cards featuring lovely sentiments - the dandelions are my favourite but the stencilled roses frame the PB sentiment very well.

Love the colours on both, but the first one is so summery with those lovely flowers too.

Love the dandelion card and the way you have made it frameless. Stop keep tempting me with the sweet Poppy stencils! This is an absolutely gorgeous card.
Two lovely cards with equally lovely sentiments Brenda. The par inked frame on the first looks lovely and is probably something even I can manage with my new inky brushes!! x You my get multiple comments, I've had trouble leaving them on several blogs just recently.
Lovely cards. I particularly like the first one. I must remember the trick of the part masked frame. As you say, simple but so effective xx
