There seems to be a problem with the Reading Lists on Blogger. I've had no notifications of new posts for several days now, so apologies if I usually visit your blog and you've made a new post recently. Hopefully the glitch will be sorted out soon.
Gail has chosen the theme of 'Sympathy/Thinking of You/Get Well' for the new Allsorts Challenge. I've made two masculine DT cards for this challenge.
For my first card, I made a masculine 'Get Well' card for a friend who recently had a fall. Initially the doctors thought he had fractured his hip, but fortunately it's just badly bruised.
The die is unbranded and the patterned paper is from The Range. The sentiment is a stamp is from the Happy Little Stampers 'Dandelion Wishes' set, stamped with Stampin' Up 'Night of Navy'.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My second card is a Thinking of You card for a friend whose Mum recently passed away.
I used a Creative Expressions 'Dragonfly Dreams' die with a square of white card and layered it on a pale blue mat. The extra little dragonfly die comes as part of the set. The sentiment is a Woodware stamp, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'.
I am joining in the following challenges:
We have a lovely prize of three floral dies and download of ready coloured reflections artwork to match the dies plus papers from Highlight Crafts.
Two lovely cards Liz. Love the die cut imagery. xxx

Two lovely cards - great colours too. Blogger is certainly causing a few problems and as well as the list thing, I had trouble trying to get my image included in the post. Managed it eventually thank goodness. All very annoying though
ReplyDeleteYour masculine cards are so well designed with the bold die cut imagery and clean layouts, and the thoughtful sentiments paired with the simple color palettes give each card a gentle, supportive feel.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, like those dies and the paper you paired them with is a great choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful dies. I love both card equally xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful masculine cards Liz! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Triple B challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Two beautiful cards Liz, great use of die cuts with the single colours and white xx
ReplyDelete2 great designs Liz.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they were much appreciated!
These are both so beautiful, wonderful CAS styles!
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant cards Liz and I love the effect of the deep patterned paper placed behind the die cut scene which I have myself but haven't used it in this way but it is very effective, and the pretty blue card looks great as the background to the wonderful arched aperture die cut with the pretty flowers and dragonfly motif. x
ReplyDeleteBoth stylish and beautiful cards, Liz! CAS cards never fail... x
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely cards Liz. I especially like the top one, its very effective with the darker blue behind.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are so pretty. Love the colors you chose behind the white die cuts. Both feel simple and serene for their occasions. Thanks for playing along with our Die Cuts and/or Stencils challenge on the Addicted to Stamps & More Blog. Cathy ATS&M DT
ReplyDeleteLiz both cards are very beautiful. Perfect for both those occasions for sure.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful and peaceful cards. I can imagine them giving great comfort.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the simplicity of each of these cards - they are both fabulous! Glad your friend's hip wasn't broken and I hope he recovers quickly.
