Morning to you all, it's time for our new challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where this month we have the themes of Free and Easy and Traditional Christmas colours. And as always some great prizes up for grabs so I do hope you will join in.
The above one is my Penny Black and More piece with a vellum stamped poinsettia and below some inky indulgence using a variety of stamps and of course Pan Pastels.

Love ...love ...love the cards!! They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, I love the delicate poinsettia! Bit behind with your blog posts as I've had a couple of days away in York, off to play catch up now! (lets hope for 3 more points later...)
ReplyDeleteMOrning Brenda. Love the poinsettia and that embossing folder is wonderful. I can just see Father Christmas in that lovely log cabin (which is actually like the tardis!!) cracking the whip to get the elves to work harder!! Comet, Dancer and Rudolph are feeding up, of course, ready for the imminent busy night!! Have a good day xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Brenda.

WoW, adorable cards you made, all are so fantastic :-))

Both are stunning again Brenda, that poinsettia is so striking with the vellum in those Christmas colours and the second one with the beautiful soft blue tones is lovely and dreamy and makes me want to walk right into it!
ReplyDeleteBoth are so beautiful Brenda!

Poinsettias are my all time favourite flowers to create, and yours looks exquisite, Brenda! Such a lovely winter scene on your second card, too xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poinsettia Brenda. And I love that winter scene.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! Love the scene in the second card and the poinsettia and background of the first one :)
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely excell at creating wonderful scenes Brenda - both cards are beautiful and I especially love the second one. Hoping today is kind to you. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteGreat creations. Love them both. Lovely scenery with the deer!!

Excellent cards! Love them! The first one is brillinat with a flower and a wreath!
ReplyDeleteBoth are so beautiful! Love your little deer scene and your poinsettia is gorgeous! Hope you are doing okay today, Brenda. I've been thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, love the Poinsettia, it's one of my favs (I have that stamp) and the scene on the 2nd is very pretty. I hope you are doing OK, take care, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo very different creations but it was easy the poinsettias that won for my favourite. Your wreath with the black & red, white & green looks so beautiful with the die-cut holly echoed by your dry embossed panel. The sparkle of your poinsettia adds lovely contrast with the red matting layers.
ReplyDeleteThe second is a scene so reminiscent of where my parents had a house in Sweden. Lovely with all the texture & detail.
Thinking of you
