Hello there. The weekend is winding down here, and I have two cards to share today. I finally broke into the stamps from last month's Make it Market kit--they are so pretty, I think you'll be seeing a lot of them around here. I am playing along with the top row of CAS-ual Fridays CFC134: Tic Tac Toe challenge--chevrons, black & sequins. I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Make it Sparkle.
I made another entry for this week's Make it Monday #175, and I used Meadow Greens for this card. I always prefer to make sympathy cards before I need them, so this one is for my stash.
My daughter came home late last night, and it is good to have her back. I never thought I would welcome the familiar sound of my girls bickering, but today it sounded pretty good.
Thanks for Visiting
PRETTY PRETTY pair of cards Joyce! Love the rose on the first one and I have always adored those PTI ferns. Might just need to get this set after-all!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce. I really love the flower on your first one.
ReplyDeleteI love the pairing of stamped image and pattern paper! So beautiful, Joyce! So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the flower mixed with the chevron!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Joyce! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAbsence definitely makes the heart grow fonder Joyce and it's always good to have kiddos back at home!
ReplyDeleteYou came up with a lovely pair of cards again and the Make it Market kit looks yummy. I love the off card die cutting on the second card and having a sympathy card ready in your stash is such a good idea.

I love the black highlights on the flower - I never would have thought of that but it goes beautifully with the paper. The ferns are pretty too - the wrap at the bottom and the different shades of green are yummy!
ReplyDeleteFabulous black and white with that wonderful rose, Joyce ... and such a lovely, serene looking sympathy card ... such gorgeous greens! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white look with the pop of color from that lovely rose!! So awesome and I find your sympathy card to be very soothing and so pretty!! Super great job on both cards!! Have a beautiful day!!
ReplyDeleteWow, great idea to use Meadow Greens for your non-border card! Perfectly sweet sympathy card. And I'm kicking myself for not getting Beautiful Brushstrokes. That flower is gorgeous and the black chevron is perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes with the beautiful bloom ,Joyce! Meadow Greens make for a beautiful edge on your sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you your daughter is home.
Your beautiful flower contrasting with the black & white is stunning, Joyce! Love the meadow ferns too. The different shades of green provide a lovely soothing feel for your sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Joyce! Love the sympathy card with & completely agree it is better to have a few on hand than having to make one on demand.
ReplyDeleteI love that beautiful flower! Very cute!

Love your cards and I have to agree with you, it is much easier to make your sympathy cards ahead of time and you were so sweet to share some of yours with me too. What a sweet and thoughtful friend you are. Your watercolor card is amazing and I am looking forward to playing with it very soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely creations, I love the first one more, the combinations of colors in that card is amazing :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Joyce!! Really love your bold flower with the chevron ... so sassy!! And the ferns are perfect for a sympathy card. And I can totally imagine how wonderful the bickering would sound after it's gone!! So glad you shared that ... I will always remember that when I'm feeling frustrated : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
I love that fern card! So lovely!
