Brayers in action again

Stamp Addicts Scenic Stamp Set

Hello folks, just a short post.....yes I am still being good so it will be limited to just some pictures...............some of the brayering I have been up to and another peek at some of the fabby stamps available from Stamp Addicts that will be showcased on their next live programme on 21st March. This is for the following challenge:

Try it on Tuesdays - Song - Seven Seas of Rhye - Queen


Good old Penny Black

This one is for the following challenges:

    All these cards are amazing! I love how you displayedthe picture on the first card, on the second I love the sky - it looks so real!!! and the third one is so spring alike. And there's a clever use of lace. Wonderful!

    Wow Brenda - you have been soooo busy! Your cards are wonderful - the first one is so clever - it's as if you are viewing the scene through a window. Love the lace on the Daffodil card - the poem is perfect with the image.
