Background of Dylusions, Retro Roses stamp set, Dream and Etched Flourish stamps, copper embossing powder and bleaching
Morning Peeps and thank you for all your kind comments about Eliot on my last post, they meant a great deal to him and me.
The washing pile is diminishing but of course that means the ironing basket is growing and I so hate doing it, but I don't think I am alone in that one.
And today I should be getting my new pain relief machine which works on a Inferential process, they don't come cheap but I am told they are far more effective that my old machine as they penetrate the tissue rather than the surface. No doubt the physios amongst you know more about it than I do but I gather they are used in hospitals and recently became available for home use. Anyhow I am praying it will give me some pain free periods and help at night.
Retro Roses and A Moment stamps, stamped onto a piece of old book spritzed with Dylusions postbox red and squeezed orange, cut out and decoupaged onto another book page stamped with the same image. DP is Tonic.
Tomorrow on Create and Craft there is a new Stamp Addict programme at 7pm so I thought I would share a few more of the samples I made for the show.
Special Day stamp, Graphic 45 DP and flowers made with Tonic punch and stamp rose set.
Thanks for popping in and taking a look, I always appreciate your visits.
a lovely selection of cards Brenda xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you should be getting some more help with the pain relief... These cards are gorgeous, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the new season but as you say, not sure how well we'll do!!
Beautiful cards Brenda, such delicate colours. Glad to see you back and I hope you do get some pain relief at night. I keep my ironing to a minimum...for shirts and specials but the rest gets folded or hung up ;0) x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards. Hope your pain medication works. Have a great day. :)
ReplyDeleteMorning Brenda.

Three beautiful cards Brenda. All such pretty colours. That bleaching looks interesting! Love the sentiment on the last one too. Brenda I so hope your new machine helps you with the pain and that you can have pain free nights and get some good sleep. You know, I hate most housework but ironing is not one of them! I kind of get lost in my own little world whilst doing it! Michelle x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLove all the textured looks and the dies used on the last one are fab.

Although it can help at times it doesn't always.
Take care honey.

Super pretty creations, Brenda! Loving the roses in the very Greek looking vase!
ReplyDeleteLots of inky goodness! But do so love the elegant last one, beautiful papers and layers and quote- I do love my quotes!
these are all gorgeous Brenda - love the subtle colouring in the first one and the beautiful dies in the final one. My run went well and there wasn't even rain - it was fabulous! Its back on now though! Hugs Rachel x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of cards Brenda, love the embossing and bleaching on the first one especially - sorry to hear of your pain and I hope the machine gives you the relief you so desperately need!
ReplyDeleteHugs Nicola xxx
Love the fine colours on the first and the third card is beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteStriking example of how different the same stamp can look. Your bleaching in the first one looks so effective & I love that little soft delicate flower.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite of all is the last though - the way your shaped flowers echo the ones in the patterned paper & the effect of the polka dots on the green die-cut echoing those tiny pin pricks (possible even trellis design) of the yellow floral pattern. Hope the new machine does what it's supposed to.
