Morning everyone, time for our new monthly challenges............would you believe I had my post all ready to go for a good couple of weeks ago, then for reasons known only to Blogger it totally disappeared so this is a bit of a hasty one.
At Stamping Sensations our new theme is Fur and Feathers, at Penny Black and More we are going Pink, Pearly and Swirly and at Craft a Scene we want to see lighthouses in Let Your Light Shine.
The card at the top is my fur offering using a gorgeous new stamp from Sutter Stamps..............my plan to refrain from any new stamps for a few months lasted zilch seconds and I have to say I love this one. It is coloured with Pan Pastels with a little shading with watercolour pencils.
And a rarity for me as I am entering some challenges:
Pan Pastels - Animals
Raise the bar - Animal Attraction

The pink card above is really quite a simple one using dies, ribbons and lace and a Penny Black stamp for the focal sentiment.
Next my feather offering using a Crafty Individuals stamp and the same colouring system as the top card. I kept the colours and embellies rustic to compliment the image.
My lighthouse scene uses an Art Impression lighthouse, Sutter Stamps waves and rocks and cloud cumulus from Stampscapes and you got it.......Pan Pastels.
And finally, a really simply stamped card using a Penny Black sentiment and a baroque corner from Flonz Craft, some pearls and ribbon.
Have a good Sunday everyone, I am slowly getting round to everyone, only short comments so far but I'm building on it.
Wow what a lovely array of cards Brenda all lovely

ReplyDeleteFabulous selection of cards Brenda. I love the fox scene - not ordered stamps from the states before but I think I might just have to have this one. Your colouring of the mallards is spot on - amazing work.

A fabulous set of cards Brenda and I especially love the one with ducks, a real rustic feel and has given me an idea for my Brother-in-laws birthday card!
ReplyDeleteJoan
Such a wonderful selection of cards, Brenda. Your work is always a joy to see x
ReplyDeleteI particularly like your Baroque Corner creation but it is the Mallards Scene that takes my breath away, though it was a close run thing with your foxes.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather is better where you are. We were going to sweep up the leaves but the forecast for sunny weather was most definitely wrong.........
Take care

Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteWell what can I say to this display of your work. Just stunning everyone of them. I particularly love the first one with the Sutter Stamps (these are new to me but I am heading to their site as we speak to have a look at what else they have) this is a fabulous image and the pan pastel work on it is extremely good. You are so talented. Jo x
Fab projects
ReplyDeleteKathyk
Stunning creations,love the first card.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards Brenda!
ReplyDeleteHope you & Holly are feeling better!
These are all fantastic Brenda! I really love the duck one, it's such a perfect countryside card, so beautiful :) I love the two cards with the sentiment as the focal point, they're both such nice words...The foxes are gorgeous too! Reminds me of a foxcub around here that i suspect was orphaned, it used to hang around our front door and eat the food we put out for the cats - alongside the cats! Such a cute thing to see :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice weekend and that both you and Holly are doing well.

These are stunning Brenda! Love how you popped up the fox in the first card, and such a beautiful scene! Gorgeous die and embossing on your second piece, a really stunning masculine creation with the ducks on your 3rd piece, love the use of raffia ribbon! Your lighthouse card is so gorgeous too, the sky looks just amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the simplicity of the last card, really beautiful how that sentiment is framed!
Hope you had a wonderful Sunday Brenda!
Such a fabulous selection of cards Brenda. The duck card is my favourite of the bunch. I love the rustic feel of this one andd the way you have used the die cuts and raffia. I also love how you have used the Flonz corner stamp to create a very elegant CAS card.

ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, what a beautiful array of cards. I do love that fox stamp and the frosty effect is stunning. The seascape has to be my favourite, I have a bit of a 'lighthouse fetish lol so I'll have to play along with that challenge. Hope you're having a good day
ReplyDeleteClaire xx
oops I was so carried away looking at all these lovely cards i forgot to say thanks for joining us at PanPastel UK this week
ReplyDeleteClaire xx
What a lovely collection of cards and so varied. Thank you for your visit, and I quite agree we certainly need some proper summer this year. Some of the farmers reckon they need a good drought to drop the water level enough to get on their land. Meanwhile, more pictures of sunshine are welcome. xx Maggie
ReplyDeleteMy sister the rider will love that first card with teh foxes...It has a hand draw look about it! I always email her with the horsey/fox/dogs and farm type cards! teehee I gues I am working on her to give card making a try!
ReplyDeleteThe second is so effective...that die is just gorgeous with that sentiment on it. You really tied the black elements in. This is a real eye catching card.
The third has a great masculine feel and the fourth...oh my...your scenes are always created with such attention to detail.
Your last card is simple yet stunning!
Beautiful collection of artwork, love the color and compositions of each. Wish I was as productive as you are-hugs Deanna
ReplyDeleteThese are all so different Brenda but all lovely. That Marianne die looks lovely in pink/white as well - a very pretty card. I love all the scenic ones you do they are brilliant. The rustic one is my favourite. Take care, Pauline xx
ReplyDeletebeautiful selection of cards. Thanks for joining in the pan pastel UK challenge
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you have been busy! We had a fox just like one of those plodding across the yard this morning. Broad daylight and bold as brass. He's after our hens so we have had to keep them closed in their run for a while, guess the foxes are hungry this time of year. Your cards are all beautiful. My favourite is the CI stamped one with the ducks. I love the colours you have used, and the texture from the raffia and fabric. Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Maddy x
ReplyDeleteBrenda what a beautiful lineup of cards! Love all of them, such great details and perfect embellishments. Thank you for playing along in our Animal challenge this week at Raise The Bar! ~*Joni RTB DT
ReplyDeleteWow - lots of beautiful and stunning cards :)
