I made this quick and easy card for his birthday. Hubby loves to vacation in BC, anywhere there is water to look at. It is very calming and peaceful. I know he will love this card.

ReplyDeleteLovely Loll.... am sure he loved it! x
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours and blending, a simply gorgeous card xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a clam and beautiful card Loll and I suspect he loved it? I also suspect the three of you enjoyed your day together as we improvise in these horrendous times ? x. Sending hugs and stay well and safe my friend x.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and atmospheric card for your hubby Loll, and I'm sure he loved it. I adore the colours and popping it up gives great dimension. x
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS card and I'm sure Gord loved it! Birthdays sure are hard to celebrate these days aren't they?! We were supposed to celebrate my mom's 88th birthday with everyone today (19 of us), but that's not happening now and I feel bad for my mom, but what do you do?!! But anyway, your card is just lovely...beautiful blending!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteFabulous GUY card Loll. Love the blending and the silhouettes. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card for your hubby, a beautiful and tranquil scene, Loll. Hope your hubby enjoyed his day. My hubby will be celebrating a milestone birthday too this month. The surprise holiday my daughter and I had planned for the three of us to celebrate his birthday in Madrid won't be happening. Instead it will be just me and my hubby, a bottle of wine and perhaps a cake with a candle to blow out. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to Gord! I'm sure he loved this sensational card, Lolly. It's a tranquil water scene with beautiful blending, and well done using lots of NBUS!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteA lovely masculine birthday card! Such a wonderful scene! I’m sure your husband loved the birthday card!
ReplyDeleteI love this serene scene Loll, gorgeous colours, so soft. I'm sure your DH would have loved it. Take care and stay safe, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful soft and relaxing water scene, Loll. I am sure Gord loved his card. So...did Jessie help blow out the candles? Being safe and healthy is the best gift. Take care and give Gord a Hug from Denny and I:-) Love to you both...Nancy
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday Gord!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he loved his card, it looks so peaceful and tranquil xx
This is such a pretty water scene, Loll! Love this stamp. Wish we could get Inkylicious stamps in the US! Wish Gord a belated happy birthday for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Gord loved that card! It is very soothing and peaceful - perfect for these troubled times. Love the simple bullrushes and bird against the layers of sponging.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Gord loved his card, such a soothing scene. I hope you both had a good day on his birthday :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, relaxing and serene -- it's a wonderful card for your hubby!
ReplyDeleteThis has such tranquil feel about it Loll, just what we need at this time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your OH will love it too! :)
What a wonderful tranquil card Loll - I am sure it would have been a hit with Gord.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

So calm and serene, Loll ... what a wonderful scene! Hope you had a lovely (if small!) celebration! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteAww! Belated wishes to your DH... I'm sure as long as his 2 favourite ladies were there it was special... Terrific card and beautifully done. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated milestone birthday to Gord! This is such a beautiful masculine card. And yay to checking off three NBUS from your list.
ReplyDeleteAwww, when this is over we'll all be making up for lost time. A beautiful and serene card, Loll, and lot of NBUS on it. I'm sure your hubby had a nice birthday in spite of things.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Another amazing card, Loll. When I look at her I have the impression that I moved to the lake at dawn. A wonderful impression, especially now that we all have to stay at home. I'm sure my husband was delighted. And something seems to me that Jessie not only blew out the candles, but also helped to eat a birthday cake :-)))
