Favorite stamp

I learned from Lin's blog that there is a challenge on Simon says Stamp to use your favorite stamp, so I thought that was quite an easy challenge to give it a go.


I used the Simple Frame which is a definite favorite of mine these last days. These make nice and quick thank you cards to have ready on any occasion.
Secondly,


I love the dictionary definition stamps from Hero Arts and have used it on this card. First of all I distressed it and then stamped it in the middle of the diecut (thanks Suzz). Then I stamped some of my other favorite Pink Paisley stamps around it in different color distress inks. I added a white flower layered with a transparent one (thanks Barb). I made the die cut dimensional, as that adds to a card.

I am so happy with all of your lovely comments. I am getting some nice advice too and will be noting everything down and doing my inquiries. Today I wanted to craft and did not let any form of sickness get in the way!

We are having cold weather all of a sudden and lots of rain. Hope the sunshine comes back!

Much love to you all!

    Hi Jacqueline. I am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. It is great that there are others who have been through similar treatments and can tell you what helped them.

    Do let us know when your next treatment will be and I will diarise so as to be able to pray for you on those days.

    Hugs,
    Rachel.

    I continue to pray for you often. God bless you and keep you in his everlasting care!

    My goodness, these cards are beautiful! I thought I loved the first one, then I saw the second one and wow. . .stunning card, Jacqueline! Love all those pretty layers! So nice to see you enjoying the flowers I sent and I'm very glad to hear you say that nothing, not even sickness, was going to stand in the way of your crafting. That's the fighting spirit that will see you through this difficult time. I admire you so much, my friend! Sending lots more hugs!

    Beautiful cards! Love both of them. The white space on the frame card is a lovely effect with the pop of the frame and the collaged flowers. I love how you blend the flowers and script so effortlessly to create a gorgeous layered effect.
