This is actually the card she chose.
I hope you have all been enjoying the lovely weather. It has been very misty here since yesterday and unfortunately rain is on it's way. Thank you for taking a look.

Hi Everybody and a very warm welcome to my new followers Jackie and Sandra. My first card today is one that I made which I thought would be rather nice for an 80th birthday which was requested by my neighbour but when I gave her a choice of a few cards she did not choose this one and actually much to my surprise chose the second card.
Hello Marie-Louise. Two stunning cards, absolutely beautiful, and although I love them both, I must admit my favourite is the top one, very classy.
ReplyDeleteHope you are keeping well. Weather here has been grea although it is starting to cloud and we are to get rain tomorrow I believe.
Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xxx
Marie Louise! Both are wonderful! Love the accents of gold! The buterfly on the second card is so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteIk vind de eerste echt de mooiste, hoewel ik de tweede ook niet slecht vind. De eerste vind ik super chique!
ReplyDeleteGroetjes, Trees
This is absolutely stunning wow :) a gorgeous creation

Wow, Marie-Louise, what lovely cards. I really like how you folded the die-cut on the first and wonderful card die-cut shape too. Your second one is so totally beautiful with the die-cut gold butterfly against that great DP and great bow. I would have a hard time trying to choose!!
ReplyDeleteWaouh magnifique, le papillon est splendide et le papier aussi, beau travail.
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty, such lovely designs!

Hello Marie-louise, gosh what gorgeous cards, I would find it difficult to choose, I think it might be the first one though, I love the red on white, hugs Kate x
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous but very different cards and love the pleated effect of the lace on the first card but equally love the second one too xx GailT xx
ReplyDeleteIt just proves that we wll have such different tastes! My fave is the first one for the clean lines but ai also like the second one too. Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Marie-Louise, love both.. first for the die display and roses, second for the pretty paper and butterfly..

They're both such beautiful cards Marie Louise, I'm a sucker for beautiful papers and love butterflies so it has to be the second one for me. Carol xx
ReplyDeleteHi Marie-Louise,
ReplyDeleteStunning cards, surprised she never chose the first one as that is the one I favour out of the two even though the second one is gorgeous too. Well done.
Love & hugs

Hello Marie-Louise
ReplyDeleteBoth creations are stunning .Completely different in style but equally beautiful .
hugs Shirley-Anne
OH MY! Both of these are just stunning Marie Louise, I love that first one :).
ReplyDeleteHello Marie-Louise
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely beautiful cards - but I think I really prefer the first one too.
I haven't been on your blog for a little while - so off now to have a good look around & cat xxch up on what you have been creating.
so pretty...so elegant...well done mf!
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose it was easy for her to choose at all Marie-Louise. All your cards are delicate and beautiful and these two are both the above. Whichever one she chose would have been perfect for the occasion. Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
ReplyDeleteboth beautiful.love the folding one
ReplyDeletebibiana
All your cards are gorgeous! Your first card is so stunning love the gold and how you folded the front doily and the second the paper is beautiful and your butterfly is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pat♥
lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteSorry to read yu are unwell so sending you healing hugs.xxx
ReplyDeleteOh ...what beautiful cards...awesome idea to fold the doily..and your colours are so vibrant, and pretty...great cards!!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the top card - effective because of its relative simplicity, I think. There's no right or wrong about art though is there? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeletelovely
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful cards .. .. hanging my head in shame that it has taken me so long to look at them!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe where the time is going this year!!
I hope you are well and you are getting some of this gorgeous sunshine.
Love Jules xx

They are both gorgeous. Thanks for stopping by my blog Marie and for your kind words,
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sandy
Both cards are beautiful Marie-Louise. The first one is so elegant and the second card just gorgeous with the shabby chic style. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAmelia
Oh Marie-Louise both of these cards are stunning, it's hard to choose a favorite... sorry I haven't been for a visit for a while, but life has been quiet hectic recently.. thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, and I'm sorry to hear that your husbands injections didn't work either.. I think they might replace David's hip as it's more work related than arthritis, as he was in heavy engineering, and pain killers just don't work for him.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs,
Marjorie xx
