Welcome to my two latest followers, Donna of Duncan Street Designs and Bagpus. I can't seem to find a link to your blog Bagpus. Can you leave me a comment please and I'll add a link in my next post.
Two similar CAS cards today, using one of my favourite combination of black, white and red.
Two similar CAS cards today, using one of my favourite combination of black, white and red.
I die cut the background with a Poppystamps 'Atessa Collage' die in white card. After matting and layering on red, then black card, I added a black Memory Box 'Prim Poppy' die cut. A sentiment finished off my card.
The second card is the same design, just swapping the red and black colours and adding a different sentiment.

As promised in my last post, here are just a few photos taken around Lake Garda, Italy last week.
As we crossed the lake towards the castle.....
..... we realised there was a bride and groom on the balcony. What a fabulous place to have a wedding!

Oh WOW, what an amazing setting for a wedding. I hope the weather was as good 12 years ago there as it was last week. xx
DeleteIt was Liz, we had wall to wall sunshine the whole week xx
DeleteTwo wonderful cards. Nice photos too.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are just beautiful Liz! I love black, red and white together too-just a classy color combo. I'm sorry, but you photo's stole the post! lol What stunning photo's! I want to experience that first photo. lol The ice cream, drinks and snacks look so yummy. I thought too when I saw the last photo, that that was a bride and groom getting photo's taken of their big day-how fun, how exciting and how exciting that you got that photo! The views of the lake (looks like an ocean!) and surrounding areas are just stunning, what a beautiful area! Hugs, Brenda

Beautiful design Liz. Both versions are lovely. What a fabulous place for a vacation. Gorgeous scenery and weather ... and the ice cream looks delicious! :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDelete2 beautiful cards and such very fab designs.
Love the cut of that fab die and then the poppies on top.
It looks very beautiful in both colour ways.
Oh my I am so envious of your photos as I have always wanted to go there.
Don't think I will in my life time now so I have to be satisfied with just looking at photos.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Two very different looking cards as a result of changing the colours round I think I like the second one the most. Malcesine! Know it well. I take it you were staying at Limone. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteWe actually stayed in Garda, but used the local buses and ferries to visit lots of places around the lake. Walked to Bardolino and back along the lakeside too. Didn't manage to go up the cable car in Malcesine as there was a two and a half hour wait, so went over to Limone instead. xx
DeleteBeautiful pix - TFS, I enjoyed Riva on Lake Garda very much.
ReplyDeleteSuper card, loving the use of dies

I love the idea of the reverse colors to make two different cards. Both are great. That is a wonderful place for a wedding. Beautiful scenery and lovely buildings and castle.
ReplyDeleteFabulous CAS cards, love the colour combinations. Great photos too.

Your holiday looks amazing Liz and you must have so enjoyed it....Yey to the cocktails x. Both cards are very striking and always a winning colour combination x.

Super cute!!! Thank you for joining us at ATSM, good luck!!! Amy DT
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous versions of the same design, Liz. Love that collage die and the double frame. So envious of your holiday, the photos look amazing, and of course those cocktails. My step-sister was married at a castle in Lake Garda a few years ago (assume it was this one) but I was gutted as I couldn't afford to go. One day I might actually come into some cash and be able to visit such a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
