This will be my last post for a bit as on Thursday I'm off to visit my daughter for a few days and on the way back will stop over with my other daughter - so apologies in advance if I miss some of your lovely creations.
I'm entering this card in the Less is More challenge - which this week has the theme - Spring. My stamp is an English Stamp Company clear stamp - stamped and embossed in copper and then coloured with Promarkers. The greeting - also stamped in copper and embossed is by Elusive Images and the coppery trimming is some copper mirri paper from Craft Creations.
My second card is for the CD Sunday challenge - Get Ahead - Get a Hat. I've had this stamp for a while - and while I love the image - it's an absolute PIG to stamp. You don't want to know how many times I stamped it to try and get an even covering of ink on the image - and then when I did - I managed to splodge something on it (more than once!) Even this image has a tiny splodge of black but I hid it under the bow - which luckily was in the right place. It was already on the card while I waited for the latest image to dry. The CD bit is the backing paper which is from Sharon Duncan Embossibilities Christmas and the punched used a Martha Stewart one.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Your hat card is absolutely stunning and definately my cup of tea! Thank you so much for joining us at CD Sunday this week and hope that you will have a good break at your daughters. Your Less is More card is very lovely too, the image is gorgeous and the layout very appealing.

Thanks so much for entering our challenge this week with this lovely Spring card. It's a beautiful image and stands well all by itself. I think the little leaf punchie in the corner detracts just a little from the splendid blossom... what so you think?
We hope to see you again next week with another CAS design.

What a gorgeous card Beryl, blob or no blob. It is very striking and I know what you mean by having trouble with stamps with a large flat area.

Two card cards, really like the image on the first card. Enjoy your visit. Hugs Anesha
That is a beautiful image Beryl
I also think it would work all on its own with just the sentiment. Without meaning to criticise, but, it is so beautiful to make a statement all on its own
Enjoy your time with your Daughter
Thank you for taking part, see oyu again

Two beautiful cards Beryl - love the CAS design of the first, and the feminine image on the second one. Solid stamps can be difficult to work with, but this looks totally fabulous. Have a great time with your Daughters.

I love your beautiful Spring Blossom, Beryl, what a gorgeous card and your lady is looking very elegant in her hat. Stamping black images is always so hard isn't it but this looks perfect.
Enjoy your break away with your family. I hope the weather improves a bit for you.
Hugs Lisax
Oh they are both so gorgeous Beryl, love the stamp in the first and the very fashionable hat in the second. That would be great for hiding under at a wedding lol. Have fun with your daughters:)
Love the composition of your card and the blossom is very pretty. x
Hi Beryl, love both of your cards, especially the lady one.A Very striking card. Have a lovely trip and fun with your daughters. Will miss you. Hugs x ChrisB
Two beautiful cards Beryl, I love them both. Have a super time with your daughters and thanks for sharing with us at CD Sunday this week.
Hugs xx
Awesome stamps...and beautiful coloring!!! I LOVE the image on the second card!
Two lovely cards Beryl, that stamp on the first one is gorgeous and they are both so elegant. You should put the second one into the challenge at My Time to Craft which is "Hats". Hope you enjoy your break with both your daughters.

Both fabulous cards Beryl. I love the simplicity of them. Hope you have a super break. Hugs x
Beryl it may be a pig to stamp but it's a fab image. I like this card and actually thought the paper was embossed! Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week.

Hi Beryl, Sorry I've not dropped in for a visit recently. Time really seems to be running away from me at the moment!
Love both these cards, they are equally chic and elegant. I love the pretty blossom images on the first card and it looks so effective in the copper embossing. I can just imagine the difficulties you encountered getting a satisfactory image for the second card. It is lovely but I have images with large solid areas and they are soooooo hard to stamp well. Your end product is really lovely though so well done with your perseverence.
Have a lovely time with your daughters. Mine has just gone home tonight after visiting since Saturday - another reason why I've not been around in blogland!

Beautiful cards as for stamping I gave it up a long time ago, just can't get it together.
Your cards are gorgeous Beryl. Enjoy your time with your daughters!

WOW, these are spectacular, Beryl! I love the copper cherry blossoms and the simplicity of it...Oh that is the challenge! Heehee! The lady in the hat is so dramatic. You did a great job no matter how many times you had to stamp it! LOL! I too have "splodges" occasionally and hide them in various ways, as do we all. So don't feel badly. Have a wonderful and safe trip.
Love and blessings, Martha

Great cards Beryl. Just love the elegant lady - the colours are fab. Thanks for joining us this week at CD Sunday. Enjoy your break. x
Two beautiful cards, very elegant.
Have a wonderful time with your daughters. Do you have grandchildren too?
I particularly love your hat card. I would never have thought of putting that shade of blue with black, but it looks stunning!
Two fab cards Beryl. I have the lady stamp too and agree, she is difficult to stamp, although it is worth persevering as she's stunning. Sue.x
They were all the trouble and splodge, very classy cards, thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week, hugs Wendy xx
Two fabulous cards.

This is 'absolutely fabulous dahling!' and she looks like that's just the sort of thing she'd say.
Love the colour palette too and those papers are lovely. All in all pretty near perfect (despite the stamp being such a b****r.
lol Chrissie xx
FABULOUS cards
