Good Morning Peeps. time for some more new monthly challenges and great themes, at Pretty Little Ribbons we would like to see 'Lace' and at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges it's 'Lace, Pearls and a touch of Elegance', I can see some perfect opportunities to double up here.
My FlonzCraft piece uses a new stamp from their Vintage Fashions Girls range - apparently that's now the 50's and 60's so a bit scary to think that I hail from a Vintage era......C'est la vie! Ayhow, I paper pieced the image using the same DP's as the background which are Teresa Collins and I absolutely love this colour combo. I grounded the image using an Art Impression cobblestone stamp and added a few blossoms at the top with another FlonzCraft stamp. Some lace, pearls swirls and die cut flowers and leaves and finito.
I would like to enter this card into:
Fashionista - Shabby or vintage
Bloggers challenge - A feminine touch
And this one is my DT piece for Pretty Little Ribbons using some of Sarah's lovely 16mm Guipure Lace, Pearl Hearts and White Satin Leaf Trim, The image is the gorgeous violet stamp from Stampendous and some new Spellbinders which I just had to have.
I made the three violets in the corners using the small leaf punch from the Tonic Punch and Stamp Rose set and the leaves are from Ruth's Pick of the Bunch Lily stamp set which I stamped onto bazzil cardstock which match the leaves on the stamp rather well.
I would like to enter this card into:
Gingerloft - Lilac and lace
Crafty Calender - Blooms and Blossoms
Kraftyhands - Flower Frenzy
I have just one more to share as I had a small piece of the Guipure Lace left so couldn't resist a second card, this one used a Chocolate Baroque bird image and a Stampendous sentiment.
The background is distressed with Squeezed Lemons and Shabby Shutters and over stamped using a Penny Black background stamp before stamping the main images with archival coffee. The flowers are also from PLR and I coloured the Satin leaf Trim with green distress ink.
I would like to enter this into:
No Matter Which - Things with wings
BTCG - Flowers

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLove the dies and lace you used.
Gr Elly
The first one just reminds me of my first Barbie doll in 1965 & I love your grounding of her. Her wrap is delightful & I particularly like the foliage you stmaped for her background. That lace picks up the picot edging of the die-cut image panel beautifully & the swirly pearls a lovely accent. You can tell this one caught my imagination...........
ReplyDeleteThe violets in the send as super with your image & the punched ones & I love that muted green card stock showing through the die-cut panel.
The CB bird is such a versatile little chap & I love your stamping in the archival coffee & matting with brown - beautifully accented with that little birdcage charm.
Paula (PEP)

Three lovely projects covering lots of techniques. Showcases your talent brilliantly.
