My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture.
My card today is for a young man who is going through a particularly trying time and I think the sentiment is fitting. I love this ODBD stamp and have used it often. It was stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy onto white card stock and die cut with SB Resplendent Rectangles. I then cut the next size die with pearlescent green card. I used a snippet of green plaid paper from my snippets box and also used a snippet of parchment paper to computer generate the sentiment. I cut the banner shape by hand because I don't have a banner or pennant die. The pearls are Hobby House white pearls coloured with a green Promarker. Otherwise I left it quite plain.
By the way, does anybody know who stocks Quietfire Design Stamps in the UK? I bought one earlier in the year but cannot remember where I got it from. I'm hoping that one of you stampers out there can help me. I don't really want to have to go all the way to Canada to get it - well not literally, although I could go and visit Maureen aka Scrappymo! Lol
Hope this finds you all well and finding time to craft.

Hope you continue to be leak free and that the young man receiving this card gets over his problems one step at a time especially with the help of such of fab card. Zx
ReplyDeleteLovely card and super layout. Hope the young man liked it.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeletewhat a really fab card. Love the image and that super sentiment. Wonderful designing as usual.
Her's hoping the repairs are okay.
We have had a leak in the cavity of the walls between our bungalow and next doors. Now it doesn't come in the bungalow, but it drip ,drips and drives us mad as it is in the bedroom, and you can imagine with this dreadful weather.
I have lost count how many times they have come out to fix it, but it's still not fixed. Now they say when the weather gets better they will take out some of the bricks and have a look at what's going on.
So glad we don't own the bungalow, as it would have cost a fortune for all the times they have been out.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Such a fabulous card Christine. I love the image and such a beautiful sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed your leak is all fixed now.
hugs Sue xx
Such a great masculine card Christine and the sentiment will be appreciated by the young man. Doesn't matter how old you are, we can all go through rough times in our lives. Hopy your leaks are now fixed x
ReplyDeleteGreat card design Christine, very encouraging and hope he takes strength from it. This rain we are having is difficult to keep at bay, hopefully you stay dry. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteHi Christine love this stamp and the sentiment. Hope your leak is fixed and all is okay now. It's been really sunny here today, although it was cold. It will soon be time for the NEC and some fun! and total madness LOL I can't wait, huggles Sue xxx

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteOysterstamps used to have some of the Quietfire stamps on their website, but I can't see any on there at the moment. However, if you give them a ring, they sometimes have things in their store that are not online. Their prices are also really good - I always get my Spellbinder from there because they are the cheapest I have found and the people are really nice.x
Fabulous card Christine, just perfect for the reason you made it. We all have mountains to climb at times and I'm sure this will be so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteClever idea to have the sentiment on vellum too.
Hugs, Di xx
Hi Christine, beautiful card, love the scenic image and the verse is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOur conservatory roof leaked last year was hoping it would this year so we could find out where but not yet (Which is a good thing lol!) must have been the way the wind was blowing too!!!
Love & Hugs

A really lovely card Christine & gorgeous stamp; can't help with who stocks the stamps I'm afraid - hope there are no more leaks Carole Z xx
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Christine and so very thoughtful. I love that image as well, you almost feel as if you are there and it is so quiet all you can hear is the eagles wings. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow I am back in the zone, I do hope the leak is sorted. We have had really driving rain today plus snow, of course it was so wet the snow didn't settle. I just wish it was a little drier, however when you do need a downpour to check on things like repairs - you can be waiting for ages! Murphy's Law methinks.
Hugs to you both Sue Pxxx
Gorgeous card Christine, the image & sentiment is so beautiful... I'm sure the young man will love & treasure it...I hope your leaks are all sorted!! Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Christine fabulous image and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHugs Diane
A brilliant card Christine. Fab image and design

This is simply gorgeous sweetie, huggles Pops x x x
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure it was a great pick-me-up for the young man. Did you find an outlet for the QF stamps? If not, I'm sure you could email Suzanne (the owner of QF) and she'd let you know who to contact.
ReplyDeleteOne of your prettiest cards, Christine. I love the stamp & all the design elements, but am especially taken with the so very appropriate sentiment! TFS, Hugs & prayers too. Hope the repairs have worked & you don't have any leaks! Good luck with the rains. We have sunshine striking off the snow..still have some ice, but it's melting.
ReplyDeleteHello again Christine. It's such a pleasure to pop back for another look at your fabulous card so that I can say thank you for taking part in A Little Bit Crafty Challenge this month.
