Finally!

Yes, finally I got back to crafting. It has been a long dry spell and I hope it's over. These are my Twofers for the prompt Flowers this month. I used a Poppy Stamp die  called delightful Daisy for both flowers. I mounted the gold one on my panel embossed with a brick e/f and used a SU sentiment. I don['t know the name of the black die I used on the second card. I used another SU sentiment on that card. I used that e/f an hour ago and I cannot find it! That's kind of what I run into when I go to make a card! Makes me nuts, well, more nuts.







Be kind to one another.

Gorgeous cards Brenda, love the brick wall texture and then the pretty black diecut. I'm always amazed at how different the same stamp or die can look with a change of design! Glad your mojo is back, and that ef will be sitting under a pile of papers, that's where mine end up lol! Cathy x

That is a delightful daisy, Brenda, and it's now on my wish list! I love how the petals get fatter on the ends. Your coloring of the daisies is beautiful on your thinking of you design and I love your choice of the brick e/f for the background! Your birthday card design is one of those great designs that can be used for any gender or age because you used black for the e/f! Good thinking! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #27! I'm glad it got your mojo juices flowing again! Take care and keep on staying safe, my friend! Hugs, Darnell

The daisy die cut is so pretty and looks fabulous with the black trellis looking die cut and the texture from the wall. Fabulous cards, both of them. Glad your mojo is back Brenda x.

I love your daisies, Brenda! the yellow daisy is so pretty against the brick wall and that gorgeous die cut background shows the white daisy beautifully! I'm glad you feel easier about the current situation. It's such a new way of thinking. Hopefully it will all become more easier for us to stay safe. And hopefully they will find a vaccine sooner rather than later.

I'm glad you found your mojo to craft again - mine is still out to a long lunch in a far away mysterious city?! LOL These cards are just beautiful with that pretty flower and I love the bricked background with 2 blooms and the single stem on the pretty black die-cut background! Beautiful twofer!

Glad you are crafting again. It does help pass the time when we are confined to home. The daisies are so pretty against that white brick wall. That black lacy background makes the daisy pop. Very pretty.

Another, besides the cards. Did you see that Papertrix in Nashville is closed and they are looking for a buyer. :(

Maria said...

Oh, such lovely cards, Brenda! Love the pretty daisies! Wonderful backgrounds with the brick and the lattice! Two variations that are so beautiful! Happy to see you back at crafting so we can view your lovely creations! Take good care, hugs!!

Both are so beautiful and well designed. I love them.

Two beautiful daisy cards Brenda. So happy you had time to create and you made these beauties to share with us! I know all about "loosing" things on my work table. Happens to me more than I'd like to admit! :) xx

I'm also glad that your non-crafting phase is over. :-) For first you've created two wonderful daisy cards. I like the design on both of them. Brick background is perfect choice for a delightful bloom and so is the die cutted pattern on the second card too.
Have a great day and take care!
Hugs, Sonja

Both of your cards are adorable! I love that daisy and your coloring is beautiful. I'm getting back in my craft room two or three days a week now. It's been relaxing in this stressful time. Hugs, Sharyn

Yay to crafting again. Oh these daisies are delightful indeed! Beautiful twofers. Great choices of backgrounds on both. Love the colour variation of the daisies.

Two really pretty cards. Don't you just love daises? I do. So great in yellow, black and white.

Greta said...

Wow--2 totally different cards & both are beautiful, Brenda! Glad you're back to crafting & glad I'm not the only one who turns around & things disappear--haha!

Kara Lynne said...

I saw your title, "Finally", and that's just how I feel about getting around to commenting! These daisies are wonderful, Brenda! The yellow ones look amazing against the brick wall - it really makes them pop! I love the die cut framing around your white daisy that puts it into the spotlight! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

Those bright yellow daisies are simply delicious against the texture-y brick background, Brenda ... they pop so beautifully! How pretty is that single white daisy set against the trellis it sure looks as though it's wishing big! So pleased you found your mojo in time to play along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
