The last of my scheduled holiday posts, this time with my Prickly Pear Monday share and also my Penny Black and More mid month inspirational piece.
It's another Dylusions background for my PB creation - crushed grape, cut grass and fresh lime with usual spritz of glimmer mist pearl. The edges are stamped with PB swirls and bleached out here and there, random inking and grunge paste though stencils and poppies cut with PB field of dreams from card coloured with the same Dylusions.
And my PPRS share is a bit more inkyness using the lovely HH0044 Floral Silhouette stamp which was a Crafts Beautiful commission. The background is another of those using distress inks and an acrylic block - the sort with guidelines which give an interesting affect when used to stamp.
Have a lovely week everyone and will be round to you all very soon now
Gorgeous cards Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment.

WELCOME Home Brenda, hope you had an amazing trip! Can't wait to hear all about and maybe see a few photos!
ReplyDeleteI adore the purple poppy card, my favourite colour! I love all the inky goodness with the red and yellow, too!
Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThis purple poppy card is so gorgeous and wonderful. I can hardly take my eyes off it! I am not usually a purple lover, but i love this card. The 3D way you did the poppies themselves, against that gorgeous background is so stunning!
The second card is lovely too but the first steals the show!
So love the Poppy card Brenda, stunning design and gorgeous colours. Both beauties but poppy one wins hands down from me. Hope you have had a lovely holiday. We're having a at home one this year and it's poured nearly everyday! First and last go at posting on my IPad, what a nightmare. Sooner I get a new laptop the better. Carolxx
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely beautiful creations Brenda! So beautifully designed and love the color combos!
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards Brenda. I know poppies are traditionally red, but I do quite like the purple look (I wonder if it's because it's my favourite colour). Also my newest grand-daughter is named Poppy x
