I have been to the GNPE at Harrogate today so I am worn out now..and shopped out. It was nice to see a few blogging friends and have a catch up, and of course there were a few things that I just had to have!
My card today is very simplistic in design. After I made the anniversary card for my son and wife I had some of the pink glitter card left...and so as not to waste it you will have noticed I used the same card on my snowflake card. I also punched out some small hearts...my intention to put them inside their card as confetti...but I had sealed it before I realised that I hadn't put them in (doh...where is the brain). They have sat on my desk ever since...can't throw anything away and I started to play with them ...here is the result. I tried it with and without the pen line round the flowers but preferred with in the end.
Sorry about the photo..taken on flash and not very good.So what thinketh thou? I am not keen on my stems..otherwise I can live with it.
Well folk I must thank you for stopping by...it heartens me that you take the time and sometimes leave me nice words too. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post...it is nice to have support and have such a lovely group of followers. I see now that as a result of my moan to Bearly Mine they have added a 6th rule ...about claiming your prize....still nothing about them re-drawing it though!
Life is too short to worry about such trivialities, and as my Grandma always said..What you never have, you never miss!
Wishing you all a great rest of your weekend, keep well and take care.
Hugs

I have decided to enter this in Alphabet Challenge ...Q for quadruple......4 of something. There are 4 petals on each flower.
That's Crafty...Keep it Simple
Virginia'sView Challenge # 8.....Clean and Simple
Keep it Simple........3 of something...3 flowers
Genius! I love that you found a new and creative way to use the little hearts. Thanks for joining us at Alphabet Challenges.
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of the quad. I love how sparkly they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Alphabet Challenge blog.

This is so pretty Carole.
ReplyDeleteLike the way you've edged the petals and the stems look fine to me ( maybe it's because you've done them to the bottom edge which has left you being unsure?) but they look ok!!
Wish I'd have known you were off to Harrogate - could have given you a list!!!!
Perhaps you are right Viv.....next time I will try not taking them right to the edge. thanks!
DeleteHi. Carol
ReplyDeleteLovely Clean and Simple card....
Hugs Sylvie xx
What darling flowers you've created, Carole...way to put the 'forgotten' hearts to lovely use (so glad to know I'm not alone in sealing envelopes before realizing something was left behind!). Now, in my efforts to have you showcase your creativity wherever possible *grin*, I think you should waltz this gem over to Keep it Simple, where the challenge is "three", and to Virginia's View Challenge #8: clean and simple. It sure belongs in both those galleries. Your comments sure brighten up my day; thank you!!

Hi Carole this is so pretty what a beautiful design love it. Sorry I've missed your September cards as I've been away in Florida for a month. They are just so lovely I especially love the Ruby Wedding card just perfect. Back home now and trying to catch up with everything but hope i'll be commenting as usual very soon. Hope you are well love and Hugs Carole x
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, no one at Bearly Mine had the decency to reply to my emaol. The last time I looked at their blog, it still had you as the winner. So they are not being truthful to their folowers.
ReplyDeleteI love this card . The clean and simple design I find hard, as you have nowhere to hide any bits you are not happy with. I think you are being too critical, as the stems look fine to me. The flowers are so pretty and a great use of the sweet hearts. Keep smiling. Hugs, Carol S.xx
I agree with you Carol. Apart from their rudeness, Bearly Mine are being somewhat deceptive actually to all the people who entered that challenge. The scoundrels!
DeleteThis is such a pretty card, love the design using the 4 hearts for flowers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time at GNP (I was there too)
Thanks for sharing with us at Alphabet Challenge

Hiya, this is so sweet. I am never brave enough to try to freehand draw anything on my cards so I take my hat off to you!
ReplyDeleteSo is Harrogate worth the effort? I would have about a 3 or 4 hour drive.

A beautiful design, your stems look perfect - I would never be brave enough to do that! I love the cute heart flowers too, so pretty. Glad you enjoyed GNPE. I've never been so I might have to give it a try next year.
ReplyDeleteRebecca.
