It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Mervi would like to see Birds and Feathers, a perfect one for Spring and Easter cards. We welcome two new sponsors this week Marianne Designs and Buttons for Brains.
For the top creation I used a Tonic box card frame, spritzed with Dylusions and Glimmer Mist and then added texture with some stenciling and Grunge Paste, a Nicecrane image here which I printed out twice and decoupaged the two birds, a butterfly metal embellishment which I coated and embossed with copper and blue powder and a sentiment which I cut down into three pieces.
And just one more for Allsorts using another Nicecrane image and Marianne large oval die.
Wishing you all a Happy and Peaceful Easter.

4 beautiful cards Brenda, hard to choose a fave but I think it has to be the first one, do love those birds
Such a beautiful selection of cards Brenda. I love the images and wonderful designs with such beautiful sentiments too.
Take care, Sue xx
All gorgeous Brenda, Tracy xx
Such a lovely card Brenda and a super sentiment too. Those little birdies (real ones!!) are frequent visitors at the moment among others. It's wonderful to see the world coming back to life. We have masses of cowslips along the hedges, now the primroses are going and the bluebells are just breaking. My greenhouse is looking quite green too, so lots of pricking out for me!! Think of you often xx
Beautiful creations Brenda .
Blessing Easter. Elly

Wonderful cards Brenda, so pretty, xxx
wonderful cards
It's the two Penny Black cards that steal the show for me, especially the first one with the way you've used the die & that gorgeous little cameo on the sheer ribbon bow. The way you have layered the patterned paper with the ribbon is delightful & I love the sheer elegance of the colour scheme.
With Easter Wishes

Wow Brenda these are all so beautiful. I love the background on the top one, it sets of the image very well. The second is gorgeous, love the yellow die cut flowers and edging. The other two also beautiful. Have a wonderful Easter, Shirleyx
All so beautiful! I really love your die cuts - especially the flower in your yellow card. The cameo and ribbon are such a nice touch. You never disappoint with your lovely creations. Sending healing prayers and wishes to you, Brenda.
Absolutely brilliant cards, as always, Brenda - the shadow box of the first one is just lovely, and I really like the yellow sunshine of the spring flowers in number 2... Sorry to have missed so much, life's been a little crazy, but I'm looking forward to a bit more space and time in the coming weeks.
Hope you're enjoying a lovely sunny Easter weekend.

Happy Easter to you, too Brenda. Love all your cards.
It's always as a treat visiting your posts Brenda as you usually share more than one project with us. What a lovely array this time. Hope you enjoy the Easter weekend.

Stunning cards as usual Brenda. I love the Penny Black and More ones with these lively quotations.
I've had a lovely catch up with lots of your posts. I've been very lazy and give up easily when my internet connection plays up. On the plus side I have knitted a lot of jumpers and hats to send to Malawi. And I'm nearly finished an Aran cardigan (for me!)
Sorry to hear you're still poorly. I'm thinking of you in spite of my lack of visits and hoping for better news.
Take care,
Kat xx
Hi Brenda, so gorgeous cards, my favourite is the first one, love the stencilled paste.

Hope this finds you enjoying Spring's beauty...I know I am sue enjoying these cards! four beauties!
Gorgeous cards Brenda, thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog. Julie x
Beautiful! Yellow card absolutely gorgeous :)
I just looked around at my leisure on your blog. What there are a lot of beautiful cards. I cleaned up my own blog. Thus, I see the people I follow better. I had too much to follow, and it did not. Now I saw again your message from your new cards. I've been following you for quite a while but sometimes saw your messages not because there were too many. Now I'll definitely be back more often to see you. Lovely cards Greetings Janny
All of these cards are just beautiful...you are very clever with the way you embellish.
These are all beautiful Brenda! They are all so elegant and so unique. Sorry, I'm a bit behind in my commenting.
Hugs, Linda
