Beautiful delicate Alexandra Renke flowers and so pretty in the cornflower blue Chrissie, and the added 'Love' and 'You' dies set at right angles to one another look great and perfect just in white, also the frame just a bit bigger than the background piece is a lovely idea...an interesting design. Sorry your afternoon at the cricket was spoilt by being drenched with the cider..no wonder you weren't best pleased. x
The blue flowers are so sweet. Glad you left the words white, looks much better. These are the real struggles we all have. But you always manage to make another beautiful card!🥰
What a pretty card! My goodness your cricket match story was funny! I’m glad you could see it that way, I’m sure the man who spilled the cider on you was mortified. Sometimes the only thing we can do is laugh 💕
Beautiful card, as always! Thank you for sharing how you “try out” different ideas before actually putting the card together…. I’m new and had never seen any other creator do this. It’s helped me tremendously, Chris! It takes me forever to figure out what I like “best” but I was gluing/taping and then trying to pull it apart or just start over. I don’t know why I didn’t think of doing this before watching you. To be honest I’d just made 2 cards at that time! I laughed so hard thinking about you driving with your trousers down…lol Those “stories/incidents “ are what keep life exciting and make for the funniest stories to tell other, don’t they?? Thank you and sending crafty hugs, Nancy Rolfe
I so enjoy reading comments like this Nancy, I'm delighted that you enjoy my videos and take the trouble to let me know why! I love that you enjoy my chatting as we craft!❤️❤️❤️
I think the sentiment completely in white is delicate as always, but I love that particular shade of blue, so that would also have been perfect. But well done as always. I love your cards, and also the obvious delight you feel in creating them 😊
I liked it best with the blue-but whatever you decide, it will always end up being a beautiful card! Just love those flower dies, so delicate! Oh, that is horrible about the cider-I absolutely detest being sticky. Reminder to self-should always carry an extra top!
Lovely card, I liked the blue. Your story about driving home without trousers reminded me of the episode of Open All Hours, where Arkwright and Nurse Gladys went to a wedding. 😂😂
What a beautiful card. I love how you turned a leaf into a bud. Very clever. The sentiment looks great in white. It makes the flower stand out more. Very pretty. - Dawn 🌅🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
When you first put the blue background, I thought how beautiful, but once you it took away, it seemed more cohesive with the word “you” and the blue flowers popped more…very pretty!
Ok, I can’t help but say, truckers use “pee - cans.” Ppl EAT “puh - cahns!” That’s my accent which is a Deep South Mississippi one … and how I was taught to say the name of the nut! Enjoyed this - u r SO TALENTED! TFS.
The blue made the word "love" pop off the card. I guess it would depend on what look you were after as to a background color or not. Love those little flowers.
I find myself debating along with you over your decisions during the process, but then you always seem to make the right choices. So glad you didn't put the blue behind 'LOVE'.
Lovely card! Oh, my! What a drenching afternoon you had yesterday, Chris. I hope the individual was apologetic, and it would have been nice if s/he had offered to pay for replacement tickets so you could attend another match. At least it might have made up in some way for your day that was quite ruined. 🥴 At least you can laugh about it today. From Cheryl in AZ.
He did apologise, but at first was quite speechless, I don't think he could believe what he had done! I'm a season ticket holder so the ticket wasn't wasted so to speak!👱
A beautiful card, Christine! Sorry re the sticky cider drenching. No fun at all. I think perhaps blue with twinkles might have been nice to see, or perhaps raised the background so LOVE stands out more clearly. Its rather lost to my eye with nothing to highlight it. Though I think my thoughts might be in the minority 😂❤❤❤
Good morning. I really like the look of this with the sentiments in white. I think if you put the blue behind the word love, it would have been more cohesive if the word you and the border were blue also. Being doused in cider sounds sticky (and icky, too). Worse than beer, I think. But I've never worn cider so I don't actually know. This card reminds me of an embroidery sampler.
You can cut your card to any dimensions. My large square card is about 5.75in x 5.75in. You would use an envelope with one dimension at 6in ish and slightly longer in the other dimension.
With blue😁was nice also..... Love it again. I see you coloring with alcohol markers. But youre mat is everytime clean. Do you have a lot of mats, or do you clean them?
I prefer no extra blue the flowers are just beautiful. What a shame about you getting soaked horribly sticky too I bet & good job you weren’t stopped by police for any reason how would you explain no trousers 😂
Perfect! Love your style! 🩷
Thank you!! 😊
So pretty!
Thank you! 😊
I love the flowers they are so cute.
They are pretty aren’t they!
Hi Chris, what a lovely card today,again very delicate, the sentiment looks lovely too, thanks for a great demo 😁
My pleasure 😊
Beautiful card, I liked both with and without the blue, I would have struggled to make the decision 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 it was tricky to decide Deb😊
Always love your work, Christine. Thank you for showing us your talent!
You are so welcome!🤍🤍🤍💙
Beautiful Card! I always like your "makes", especially the white on white and the simplicity of all of them.❤Thanks
Glad you like them!😊😊😊
Hi chris, i like both the blue and white background. Just a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome!
I like the card as is, without the blue. It looks more delicate.
Thanks so much 💙🤍💙
Just stunning. You make every card look so easy to do. Thanks again for sharing!

C ‘étais difficile décider!😊
A really beautiful card. Thank you. Love your story about the cricket
The saving grace was that our team actually won the match after I left!
Defiantly without the blue. Such delicate flowers and a beautifully designed card ❤
Thank you so much 😊
I like the frame around the square…nice card. Thanks
You are so welcome!
Yes, I prefer it without the blue. Beautiful!! ❤
Thanks 😊😊😊
I like the card as you chose to do it best. Beautiful card!
Glad you like it!
What a lovely and creative card!! I would of been quite upset if that had happen to me!!!
I wasn’t best pleased!😕😕😕

I like it with the blue. It really shows up the love.
I think both would have worked, simply personal preference !😊

I remember that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a lovely delicate card. I love that you kept the sentiment simple and let the flowers shine in their simple beauty. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊
Thank you so much!😊😊😊
Such a sweet card. I love the blue!🤗
I think both versions would probably have been ok, it's nice to have a personal favourite! 😊

Stunning card Chris, I love it. I think the blue looked nice but prefer the white. Thanks so much, have an awesome day!
Thank you! You too!
Yes definitely the blue, it sets it off 💙
😊😊😊
@Chrissieannie Well I was wrong heh 😅
@@kayenash5481 🤣
Lovely card Chris, beautiful flowers and great idea using the words like that.
Thank you for sharing.🌻😄
You are so welcome
Definitely the right call on the background, the blue hogged the limelight. Beautiful.

Fabulous as always, thank you .
Thank you too!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
No blue Christine. Much more sophisticated I think. Beautiful card.
Thanks so much, it's worth having a play to see what you think isn't it!😊😊😊
This goes into my playlist of your cards!
Wonderful 🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙
Definitely with the blue.
😊😊😊
Gorgeous!👏💕
Thank you! Cheers!
No blue for me. Beautiful flowers and I like the positive/negative sentiment. Thanks Christine and have a lovely day x
Thank you! You too!
A stunning card!
Thanks 🤍💙🤍
Lovely card I like that idea of positive and negative sentiments works really well in those different fonts thank you Christine for sharing
I may try some more of negative sentiments!
Definitely the blue!
😊😊😊
Great card!!!! White love is perfect. Love the color. and a cider shower to top off!!!! oh my goodness! oxoxo
Right?!🤣🤣
Love it!
🤍🤍🤍
Love it either way
Thanks
Just lovely! Best without the blue behind the love. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I like it best without the blue - it's a gorgeous card.
Thanks Linda😊😊😊
😆 lol what a dilemma, lucky the weather was warm.
🤦🏼
The blue made the word "love" pop off the card. I guess it would depend on what look you were after as to a background color or not. Love those little flowers.
They are cute aren’t they!💙💙💙
Good morning...my opinion... I prefer : no blue.. Have a nice day
Thank you! You too!
I like no blue. Such a beautiful card
Thanks so much🤍🤍🤍
Stunning card
🤍🤍🤍
Lots of comments and opinions here. Love how the card turned out. Cider is sticky. Glad you can laugh at a sticky situation in the end.
I hate being wet when I’m not supposed to be wet! I can laugh about it now although not so much at the time!😊
Beautiful card!
Thanks so much!😊
I find myself debating along with you over your decisions during the process, but then you always seem to make the right choices. So glad you didn't put the blue behind 'LOVE'.
Interesting isn’t it!😊😊😊
Gorgeous card 😍 🎉
Thanks so much 😊
I like the blue. May be the lighter blue. But so lovely.
Thanks 💙💙💙

It’s my favourite colour too!
@@Chrissieannie 🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙👍🏻
Lovely card, I prefer without blue under word
Thanks for that🤍🤍🤍
I prefer the white behind too as allows the flowers to shine. The sentiment dies I use a lot, they are a lovely font aren’t they 😊
I think they’re terrific!😊
Lovely card.
💙🤍💙
I liked the blue behind the text, it still looks stunning without it though. Hampshire here too, Christine.
Thanks.. where are you?
@@Chrissieannie Lee-on-the-Solent.

Without blue a clean and simple card
Thanks so much

Everyone is entitled to her opinion and i I’m glad to know yours!
Beautiful card - better with all white lettering IMHO
Yes! Thank you!

Very pretty! I prefer the sentiment in white. The blue is too bold.
Thank you
Love watching you make your beautiful cards. May I ask what is the sparkle pen you used in this tutorial?
Nuvo Glitter Gloss
Nuvo Glitter Gloss
What size square do you use for card? Wondering how you fit it in rectangle envelope 🤔
You can cut your card to any dimensions. My large square card is about 5.75in x 5.75in. You would use an envelope with one dimension at 6in ish and slightly longer in the other dimension.
What was the sparkle you added to the flowers? It looks so effective
Nuvo Glitter Gloss 🤍
Thank you
Where can I find the “twinkle” that you use on the flowers? Lovely card!
It’s Nuvo Glitter Gloss!
Hope you went with the blue
If you watched to the end of the video you’d see what I chose! 🤣
They look very much like a fuchsia
👍
blue
😊😊😊
With blue😁was nice also.....
Love it again.
I see you coloring with alcohol markers. But youre mat is everytime clean. Do you have a lot of mats, or do you clean them?
I clean the mats with isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel
I will try that😁thank you
It would be easier to see what you are doing if you had a contrasting color to work on. White on white is not good.
White on white cards are beautiful, I’m sorry if you found it difficult to see what was going on in the video!
I prefer no extra blue the flowers are just beautiful. What a shame about you getting soaked horribly sticky too I bet & good job you weren’t stopped by police for any reason how would you explain no trousers 😂
I was anxious not to be stuck in traffic next to a bus where passengers could look down at me 🤣🤣🤣
