Good Morning peeps, a mega quick post before that thing called work takes hold of my day.
This week seems to be rolling by all too quickly and it does not seem possible that tomorrow is Freebie Friday again at Sir Stampalot. If you sign up to Smudges their newsletter, you will get advance notification what you can grab for free this week.
We have had a couple of days of beautiful weather and the colours of Autumn are appearing day by day and looking absolutely stunning against a backdrop of sunshine, so I thought a couple of shares taking on those rich colours.
The top one is using Penny Black 3817K Tigress, stamped onto a background created with acrylic paints and vaseline, if you've not used this technique it's brill. Paint on a darker colour first (you can dry with a heat gun), then dab the vaseline where you want to reveal that colour after painting on your lighter colours, when that's dry (don't use a heat gun here as it will melt the vaseline) then rub away the vaseline and it reveals the under colour paint. The DP is appropriately October Afternoon and the roses were made using a Marianne die.
My second share is this beautiful Stampendous stamp SSC1123 Fairy Queen, stamped onto a brayered background and coloured with Copics. The DP is as above.

Gorgeous cards Brenda, I love the flowers on both your cards. Really stunning....as always. Lee x
Loving your colours here Brenda. Thanks for sharing that technique, must try to remember it! The first card is my favourite, love that image and the flowers are beautiful too.
We've had some lovely days here too but sometimes a definite chill in the air in the morning. I'm missing it all of course as I'm working all the time. Today was the worst because it's normally my day off and also the quietest day in the Post Office. So I've been pretty bored and my arm has been really sore. Dogs have Halti collars now but I think my left arm has been pulled once too often!
Take care,
Kat xx
Two real beauties, Brenda! Gorgeous colours!
Oh, I love both of your cards!
Stunning cards Brenda, love the colours and details x
HI Brenda, wow hun these cards are just stunning .Love all the techniques you used!! Hugs, Frea
Tigress is rather apt for the colours too - just love those deep rich browns with your coppers, golds & oranges plus white. amazing how the whites really make the whole really 'pop' & especially taht background.
Your rolled flowers pick up the oranges & whites beautifully too.
Your brayered background for the fiary is glorious & I love how this demonstrates the subtleness that ensues when using creams with oranges. Your 3 flowers really echo those around the base of her dress beautifully.

Dear Brenda,
wau it became however wonderful. Your maps are always so beautiful. Where do you get your ideas from??? Miracle miracle beautifully. I wish you a beautiful weekend with dear humans. All dear Stella
Ooh, they are both lovely! I especially love the flowers and leaves on the first card - are they homemade flowers?
Emma
Gorgeous cards Brenda! They both take my breath away! I need to get some more stamps - these look like a good place to start :)
Gorgeous colours, Brenda ... the October Afternoon DP is beautiful. I've tried the vaseline technique with terrific results, just need a reminder like this to do it again. I'm afraid any good weather there was never touched our part of the country ... apart from one exceptional Wednesday last week, we have had almost unremitting rain for days and our patio is flooded! Hope you are keeping well. Elizabeth x
These 2 card are amazing!! I really love the embossing on the first one! Awesome job! :D
Hugz,
