Right let's have another go LOL
Hi again folks I'm having another bash at LIM. This week the challenge is to have foliage on your one layer card and over at Simplicity the challenge is to make a gratitude card, here goes
I had a couple of attempts with this Clarity Vine stamp. The first is my favourite, it doesn't come much more simple, stamped in olive distress, a little bright yellow copic and a Hot off the Press sentiment in black.
This has a PTI sentiment but I spent some time colouring and adding mica powders but I don't like it very much :{
Thanks for dropping by and I'll be around to see you soon, hugs Gay x

Brilliant but I have to agree with you the first is my favourite too
ReplyDeleteI prefer the first one too Gay although they are both fab.
ReplyDeleteI loved your original one but I know what you mean about it being similar to Chrissies.

Fab card, Gay! I have that stamp too, what a great way you have used it. x
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful Gay ! I love the effect of the mica powders, have to get mine out ! The ivy image is gorgeous :) Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteI agree . . . the first one is my fave. What a gorgeous stamp.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunny Sunday

just love the way you have used this stamp, the first one is fabulous and your placing is perfect. I know Clarity stamps are easier to line up but even so I still struggle to line things up especially on a one layer card. The label effect you have achieved on the second card is so neat and the colour is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFab cards Gay, I love the simplicity of the first one too x
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, but I must admit, I do prefer the first one.

This size of card is difficult to design but you have created a beautiful design. Annette x

ReplyDeleteFantastic work Gay, love the first one!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs

Both are beautiful cards and I agree with you and others that the thank you card is my favourite. However I love the sentiment on the second card! Cards that look simple are so often harder to create than fussy ones! That's why I LOVE your work...gold medal all the time!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good in this Gay! Your cards are fabulous, real beauty's!!

ReplyDeleteWell, I like both of them, Gay! I think each is so simply elegant!
ReplyDeleteYep the first one is my favourite but the others are fab too.

They're both great Gay but I like the simplicity of the first. Thanks for your comment this morning - I've not been around much either over the summer but back to 'normal' now! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThese are both stunning Gay!!!!! I love the 2nd one the best :D ave been having a nose through your blog and your work is so incredibly neat & pretty my lovely! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove how the shape of the swirl leads your eye down to the sentiment! Wonderful OLW card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I like the top one best too - I also loved the one you removed (it was still showing in my reader)

Another vote for your first card Gay, they are both lovely but like the first slightly more.
ReplyDeleteHave been looking at your blog, you make some gorgeous cards, you are clearly very talented :). Have decided to follow so that I can learn a thing or two!
Hugs xx
They both look great my friend. But I do agree with you. I like the first one the best.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Superb cards Gay
ReplyDeleteI love them both, I bet the second is more striking IRL
Thanks very much

Both are really amazing, I prefer the second.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully simplistic!
ReplyDeleteHi Gay
ReplyDeleteThat stamp is gorgeous and you have used it brilliantly.
I love both cards .. .. but if was forced to choose one .. .. then I would go for the first.
I hope you are having a good week.
Love Jules xx
Beautiful cards Gay I like them both:)
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards. I favour the first one, but I think the second one the masking is too abrupt - just my opinion ;)
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Hi Gay, just having a catch up! These cards are fab - I love the way you've used the stamps. Your box in your last post is fantastic!
ReplyDeletex
I believe that first one has my vote as favorite too. Your cards are always so creative....and you have the coolest stamps!
ReplyDeleteAre we on the same wavelength or not?
ReplyDeleteI toyed with idea of using this tall card shape (used to use it exclusively) and I stamped out the very same sentiment to see if it worked for me too. I love the design of both cards. Barbara would approve too!
Lilian
Love the first one too Gay. It looks really good on the tall thin card. x
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards, I too like the first one, thanks for becoming a follower. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Love your colour choice. The first is my favourite too - very CAS xx
ReplyDeleteOh , I just love the image that you have used it is beautiful, so elegant just like your card! x
ReplyDeleteHi Gay, I bought trousers, good fitting jeans, a blouse, a skirt and a long line cardi!
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Love them both Gay, but the first is maybe my fav too :) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteThese are both really lovely but I agree with the majority on the first one being my favourite. It really is stunning in its simplicity and those two stamps work together perfectly. You are a clever lady!
