Morning Peeps, dare I say it looks just a tad like summer out there this morning, well at least it's not raining and there is a distinct hint of sun behind the clouds.
Not too much to share that's new, so a few samples I made before our vacation as I am busily beavering away with samples for next Monday's Stamp Addicts Create and Craft TV shows...................Monday 2nd July at 2pm and 7pm and I can tell you we are in early Christmas mode and will share some later this week.
Meanwhile some brayering and inky indulgence with some wings thrown in for good measure, samples for Sir Stampalot, basically different colour takes on similar themes I've done before. I'm still totally smitten with the TH birdcage and Papillion stamp set.................does it show just a little ? And now I have the bird on branch as well, you will get a look at what I've done with that on Sunday when Penny Black, Stampalot and Craft a Scene go live with our July challenges.
Lots of distressing on the top one, Frantage embossing powder and distress inks and on the fairy one, a masked moon and sponged sun rays and hills and the lovely Go Create arch die. List of ingredients below.
Have a lovely day everyone and as always thanks so much for popping by, I am always really appreciative of your visits.
Just gorgeous, love the designs. You are very talented, Brenda.

Gorgeous cards Brenda. Love them both. I'm off to set the sky+ to record these programmes before I forget!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a beautiful day here today, quite dull now but still dry. Think we're in for rain tomorrow though. My friend comes over on a Wednesday so we'll be crafting and chatting. Doesn't quite make up for having to work all day Thursday and Friday though. Had a lovely visit to Catriona and family. Bit chaotic with 4 Labs but they all get on well together and it was mainly dry except when Poppy had her nursery sports.
Take care,
Kat xx

Fabulous cards Brenda. Love your inky scenes and the top card is amazing. Paying a visit to the fens in a couple of weeks. Recently found out a long lost cousin of mine lived only 15 mins away from me all the time I was there but I didn't know. Big family get together so I'm hoping to catch up on lots of cousins I haven't seen since my teens.

Beautiful cards, Brenda. The tags on the birdcage are very effective and I do like the subtle colours you've used on that card ... quite a contrast to the beautiful blues of the second. Elizabeth x
