ReplyDeleteI just love this kind of posts - so inspirational - same materials and design, such different looks. It's really hard to pick a favorite - I've looked at them for some time and I've changed my mind several times, but I finally settled with card no2 as my favorite, due to the patchwork background and how it looks against the white background, but it was a close call!
ReplyDeleteWow they are both stunning Asha ! I cant pick a favourite x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Asha. I like the second one the best as I love the crisp white colors...I saw this on MIM..Loz
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely beautiful Asha!! Very 'stampin up'!! Fab colours and designs, just lovely! :D Spotted them on MIM xxx

Oh Lynne, I'm so sorry that you are feeling fragile today and I don't want to add to your stress levels m bit sadly we cannot include your sunning CAS card in the OSAAT challenge this week as it does not have the required digi element (computer generated). Both your cards are very beautiful. Best wishes, Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous! Love the layouts and your fabulous bow and poinsettia.
ReplyDelete| too am panicking a bit as mojo has jumped ship. I have UK cards to make, cause of postage not to be too bulky and then daughters birthday cards to make for this Friday and a blog hop piece that has to be ready in the next couple of days ready for Saturday phew! Hopefully will get in the craft room today :-)
They are both beautiful card. I'm sad to see that they don't include a digital element. I would love to have seen them entered in our challenge at OSAAT. But good luck on getting all your Christmas cards done. I am so behind as well.
ReplyDeleteOh my word Asha, these are AMAZING!! I love your layout and such a gorgeous poinsettia image as well!! You knocked this out of the park dear!! HUGS :)
ReplyDeleteOH...and my fave is the top card! The reason is that I'm always attracted to yummy ribbons! ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, saw it on MIM and wanted a closer look!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely - especially the second one with lighter colours in the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at One Stitch at a Time this week, and good luck!
Beautiful cards, Asha! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Both cards are just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at The Shabby Tea Room!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful cards, Asha! Love those gorgeous poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteI'm just so far behind on all my visits that I can barely skim the surface of everything you've posted since I was here last. What an amazing collection of cards! Of these two, while I like them both, I really do like the first one the best. I love the stitching and the bow and the way the background papers really showcase the poinsettia. :-D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I love these colours! The poinsettia is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteNow Asha, just not fair asking which one we like as I just LOVE Both of these and if I was to recieve them I would be ecxtactic so both are just divine...xxxx
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful! Love the stamped quilt background on the second card! Thanks for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous! If I GOTTA pick one I'd pick the white base :) I so love that poinsettia. And I also hear you on the OMG WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL YEAR? panic. I am thinking of just tucking that in as a tradition and going with it. Embrace the madness & chaos.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and beautiful stamping :) Thank you for joining TSTR challenge !
