Good Morning Peeps, before I move on to today's card I must thank you all for your lovely comments and mails about the little celebratory competition (details in the post above) I have on the go and am so happy to know that you like the idea. And the entries so far have been wonderful and I am really enjoying looking at them all, so again I say thank you for your friendship.
Now on to our new March challenges at Pretty Little Ribbons and FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges where we have the themes of Happy Birthday and Spring is in the Air............and guess who chose that one, am I transparent or what ?
So my card at the top is my DT piece for the Spring theme at FlonCraft using this really sweet little image called Girl on Windy Hill. I know I don't often do cute but I thought she was just perfect for a Springtime card so I paper pieced her dress from the same DP as the background, distressed a strip of coredinations, added some lace and cut the edge of the card with TH butterfly border. Nearly forgot the rose, I made it that with Tonic punches and then dipped into UTEE to glaze.
I would like to enter this card into:
Joanna Sheen challenge - Layer it Up
Sunday Stamper - Something Pretty
When I received my DT kit from Sarah for this month Pretty Little Ribbons theme it contained some gorgeous silk green ribbon and instantly I visualised a lovely flower made with it. For a change it turned out just as I intended and I have made it the focal element of my card above, adding a little tea dye distress ink over the edges to add a little definition and mounting it onto the die cut frame and a butterfly to finish.
I would like to enter this card into:
Gingerloft challenge - Ribbons and Bows
One Stitch at a Time - Green
Hiding in My Craft Rooms - Greens

My final card is another for Pretty Little Ribbons, quite simple really using some dies and embossing and two pansies again made from one of Ruth's Tonic Punch and Stamp sets. The swirly leaves are in the same set as the main dies and I think make a nice change from the Spellbinder leaves I tend to use over and again.
And I would like to enter this one into:

Both themes are nice and easy, but allow you to stretch the boundaries if you wish so I do hope you will find time to join us this month.

Three lovely and very different cards Brenda love them all
ReplyDeletejacqui x
Three lovely cards, Brenda. Love the vintage feel and the gorgeous rose of the first one and the soft colours of the second card with the pop of brighter green. I think the third card is my favourite of the three. Love the monochrome colours and all the texture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Brenda. I especially like the top one. Gorgeous colour scheme and design - and the sentiment is a favourite of mine.
ReplyDeleteBeryl xx

ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Brenda, some really beautiful dies there
ReplyDeleteHugs Kelly
Great colour combies. And the way you made the layouts of the cards is great! I hope to have some time by the end of the week to joan your fun celebratory competition! Hugs, Gerrina (Enjoying some sunshine today)
ReplyDeleteYour vibrant green flower with the Tea Dye edges is wonderful & I love the trellis work with the butterfly in your striking colour combination. The last is my favourite with the classiness of the white stamped sentiment & your pretty pansies - love your accompanying flourishes & inked leaves with that.
ReplyDeleteI'd not classify the first as 'cute' rather more vintage - your butterfly edging is intriguing & superbly effective with the pearls picking up the shape of the little bobbles on the lace trim opposite.

These are all beautiful Brenda, I love the vintage look of the first card, the gorgeous ribbon rose on the second and the embossing and die cut on the third,

Three fabulous projects Brenda, goodness you are on top form! I love the distressing and all the vintage goodness of the top one, a real feel of Spring in the air. The ribbon flower on the middle one is gorgeous, such a great idea and the layout looks great with that flabby lattice work. The embossed background on the third one is beautiful and I love the way ou have picked out highlights with the inking. The main diecut is just beautiful! Hope you are having a good weekend. Maddy x
