Simple blooms


Morning to you all, this week at Allsorts Liz would like to see Sympathy or Get Well cards and of course the Anything Goes option. Prizes come from Craft Stash and Highlight Crafts. We have an important note on this weeks post which we ask all entrants to read.

I've used a MCS background and simply stamped the blooms using mini distress inkpads direct to stamp along with a spritz of water and sentiment which is Penny Black.

Below another simple one again using MCS (Highlight Crafts), image printed twice, oblong dies to cut aperture's on one, foam pads to the back and lined up over the second image and  a few Swarovski gems.


Short post, had shoulder and head nerve blocks Wednesday and back in for the re-scheduled Kidney op Wednesday, such a glamorous life I lead.

Floral cards are very suitable for this type of occasion and these two are beautiful. Clever idea for the yellow one. All the very best for your upcoming op.

Your handmade cards are absolutely stunning! The use of MCS backgrounds and the technique of stamping blooms with mini distress inkpads and a spritz of water create such a beautiful effect. The Penny Black sentiment adds a lovely touch. The second card is equally impressive. The way you’ve used oblong dies to create apertures and added dimension with foam pads is so creative. The Swarovski gems are the perfect finishing touch.

The first card with the matching envelope is gorgeous and that 2nd card is just stunning with the perfectly matching overlay design! Amazing cards! So sorry you're dealing with pain and nerve blocks and then more kidney issues later on this week. Sending heartfelt healing hugs and best wishes your way for getting back to a pain-free life quickly.

Just noticed your comment on my Penny Black card. The die has not been retired by Penny Black, it's the owner of online shop "PB Stamps" (they used to sponsor Penny Black and More challenge a long time ago) who is retiring, so he had marked everything down in his shop.
