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.
2 beautiful cards you have made Brenda......gr karin

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

Love the cleanliness of your Dandelions card. I have the very same set and how is it that I hate the weeds in my garden but love them on cards?! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards as usual, I'm very sentimental today, in UK for a funeral, so catching up while in hotel, x
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards and sentiments
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, and love both sentiments!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful card for your son and love the one his daughter got!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I wanted to stop by after you posted such a nice and helpful comment on my blog (myasperations). I appreciated it! While here I enjoyed some time admiring your creations, and even did some web-research to learn what it meant when you noted your son's "Gong" in this post. Sounds like quite the honor for him... and your whole family. And I especially love that you made a card for his daughter. (You are the kind of grandma that most kiddos wish they had!)
