It's my turn to host the theme at Allsorts this week where we are continuing our Free and Easy July theme, so the two cards I have to share go from one extreme to the other, one nice and simple and the other nice and inky.
For the card above which is a Stampalot sample I took a piece of Farbiano 300gsm watercolour card, masked a moon and the two stamped butterflies and inked with TH rusty hinge and olive. I then stamped Penny Black 3737H birds on a wire, 3381K aspire and Hero Arts CL333 using the same inks, stamping a second time without re-inking to achieve a shadow effect. I stamped the butterflies a second time onto the same cardstock and decoupaged and mounted onto a piece or Core-dinations.
And now the simple little number, as lots of you know, I love my poppies so another chance to use Hero Arts CL449 which I stamped by inking the stamp with Aquamarkers and embossed with detail clear, added a Hero sentiment, gems and some lace. How simple is that.

Fabulous cards Brenda, I absolutely adore the top card, love the colours and the scene you've created, lots of ink on this one so I am guessing you had very inky hands when you were finished ;-) x

These are both beautiful in their own way! I love the warm colours of the first one and the simplicity of the second, Ruth x
Well it's the first that I'm drawn to - the birds & the colours plus the colours, flowers & buttreflies - ticking all the right boxes for me; & as for that moon with those birds & the dandelion head... what a delight. These two cards sum up what I love about coming to visit you - there is a variety of designs that has me thinking. I shall look out for that poppy stamp too - I'm itching to work on a blue poppy for some reason & strangely have nearby seen some salmony pink ones (massive they are).

Ooh, these are gorgeous cards Brenda! I love the first card! Really beautiful with all those shades of yellow and orange. And the beautiful butterflies. Love the Clean and Simple card also - great layout and the lace looks perfect. I like the embossed poppies too!
Hope you are having a good weekend!
Hugs Sue xx
That first card is so stunning and so much to look at on it. Then the second is equally as stunning for not have as much on it. Beautiful work Brenda
