It is another StampTV blog hop and we are going wordy! That's right - words are the key to this challenge! Stamp TV has so many wonderful stamps sets with a huge variety of sentiments and sayings. It was difficult to choose so I made 2 cards.
You should have arrived from Peggy Wainman blog. Peggy is so creative that I am sure you lingered a bit to take in all the details!

For my first card I used the sentiment from the stamp set called "Inside and Out" and the flower image was from "Springtime Silhouettes". First I stamped the sentiment and used one of my Spellbinders Dies to cut it out. I then used another die to place behind it. The DP is all from Basic Grey's Kioshi - even the light green Cuttlebugged background. I stamped a few of the floral images using Distress Inks behind the focal image and then cut a few out to accent and bring in a little more color. No ribbons for me this time - I wanted the focus to be on the words. I did add some pearls just for fun! The card base was made using GinaK Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus and a panel of Tan Leather.
This card came to me while I was reading through the many sayings that GinaK's stamp sets have. I liked this saying about faith and as soon as I read it this Cuttlebug folder came to my mind. It was a perfect fit! The sentiment is form Faithful Florals and I kept is simple because I did not want to distract from that bird. I used some distress inks on the folder and thin used a sponge to enhance it a bit. The ribbons and the Spellbinder Flourish were added and then I stopped. I love to embellish but really thought that less was more for this card. I used Little Boy Blue card stock and Ivory for the images.
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (June 28th), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
As always, your comments really do mean a lot to me. Thank you for leaving them.

Great cards! My favorite is the "pearly" one!
Both are wonderful, my friend! The pearls are a wonderful touch. You did a great job showing off the beautiful sentiments!
This is beautiful Miesje. Gorgeous pearls.
Miesje, your cards are both beautiful. The first one is so soft and subtle and the second has that amazing quote and embossing folder. I think they were meant to go together. You always create such pretty cards. You must have come back from vacation ready to stamp and roll!
