Today sees the start of our new challenges at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping and Pretty Little Ribbons and at the first we would like to see ' Blues, Aquas and Browns' and at Pretty Little Ribbons it's 'Anything Goes'.
And it does look rather like I've got a vintage thing going on with the same colourways for both, although that wasn't my intention but I do admit that I love working with the blue and brown colour palette.
To create the shape of the three way card which is my DT piece for Pretty Little Ribbons I used a spellbinder die sideways cutting only halfway through each panel by placing the main part of the card outside of the embossing plates. I randomly stamped each panel with the Tim Holtz pillion stamp set and an Inkylicious wire stamp using TH distress inks tea dye, vintage photo and peacock feathers and round the edge with a Hero Arts swirls stamp. I stamped the butterflies a second time to decoupage and made two roses using a five petal punch (added: I had already made this one when I received my new punch and stamp sets from Ruth or I would have used them again). I have used a selction of ribbons, braids and beads which are all available on the PLR website.
By second card is my DT piece for FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping using the two birds image, inking the stamp with distressed markers and spritzing with water before stamping onto a piece of Fabriano watercolour card. The flower, hinge and bird on branch are all Tim Holt dies to which I added liberal amounts of Frantage gold and aqua and the DT is Bo Bunny.
My third card uses more pretty laces and ribbons from PLR, a Penny Black stamp and some little dots added with liquid pearls.
I do hope you will find time to join in with our challenges this month look forward to seeing all your entries.

Hi Brenda, what gorgeous projects. I love the first card, a really clever idea to create the pretty edge with the dies like that. The bird stamp on the second card is stunning, I hadn't spotted that one before, love the frantage effect too

Your last one just made me gasp - so elegant yet minimalist. As for the first - love the colours too & so much to fascinate & feast the eyes the upon. The meandering branches in the second are an intriguing way of tying the whole construction together & keeps pulling at my eyes too.
Hope the week is better for you.

Such beautiful vintagey clooking cards, Brenda. I love the brown and blue palette and that frantage looks so interesting to me.
I finally bought some as I had a bit of a problem with some "homemde" snow so I picked up the whitish colour. After seeing it on your card you have reminded me to crack it open.
you accented the swirl of the stamp with the red dots!
Off to look back and catch up...I got really behind due to some health issues and I am playing catch up as my faves leave me comments!!!
The last card is to nice...I love the way
They are all gorgeous Brenda. I love the design and soft colours. I particularly like the top one!

All three are delicious, Brenda... LOVE the colour challenge at VSC, and those first two cards are right up my street! The butterflies look wonderful on the first, and the textured branches on the VSC one are so cool... I'm not much of a Valentiner - but that Penny Black stamp could convert me - magic!

Three fabulous projects Brenda! As you know, I love vintage and these are no exception. I particularly like the way you have stamped the background in the first project, and the clever use of that die to cut the tops of the arches is wonderful. Love all the dimension from the dress form and butterflies too. Maddy x
Love that first card....the little tulle skirt is beautiful and really like the blues and browns you used. Of course the other two cards are terrific too.
Wow, wow, wow! What gorgeous beautiful cards! I love them all! sorry I didn't get here earlier. Meant to ask after Holly when we spoke earlier. Hope she is doing okay x
