Time for our monthly challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where our themes at both are 'Anything Goes'.........that wasn't actually planned, it's just how it seems to have turned out !
For my Penny Black card it is my all time favourite inspirational quote 2696J Dance, Sing, Love along with Penny Black 2636K Scroll background around the edges, both are pretty old wood mounted stamps. I started with a Brusho background using Leaf Green, Violet and Cobalt Blue which gives out lovely hues of purple as the water shifts the powder and I also used the latter two to colour the flowers which I made using a Heartfelt die and stamp. Some grunge paste harlequins, a couple of die cut swirls cut on the cricut, seam binding and pearls to embellish.
The first of my Stamping Sensations pieces used Silhouette Elephants from our sponsor Little Claire in the foreground and in the background I repeat stamped a really old Judikins cube with the trees and Zebra, the word Serengeti is also part of the same cube. All colouring is Pan Pastels and of course a masked sun on the horizon.

Another Brusho background for my second Stamping Sensation piece, this time I used masking fluid to create a sun and a paper mask to separate the land area before spraying on yellow, orange and brilliant red. Next I rubbed away the sun mask.........I am presently using Pebeo masking fluid and I think it's the best yet. I used Pan Pastels for the land elements of the scene and a mixture of Stampscapes, Sutter, Art Impression and Chocolate Baroque stamps.
Hope you all have a good Sunday and keep warm in this cold and frosty weather.

Fabulous set of cards, my favourite is the first one with gorgeous mixed media background and beautiful stamping.
It's not cold in here, but snowing wet, bad day on the roads;-))m

Three gorgeous cards Brenda. As Blue is my favourite colour so I am favouring your first card. I love the floral bouquet and the texture on the background paper. You have worked your magic as usual.
Shirley
Good Sunday morning Brenda
Gorgeous cards today especially the purple/blue one, these are my favourite colours. I have used Brusho many times at work but never for card making. You work is inspiring me to give them a ago for my cards too.
Enjoy your Sunday
Lesley
Wow, three for the price of one this time Brenda, you have been really busy. Love the texture paste on the first one along with the sumptuous purple/blue colour. You have some great scenery stamps in your stash and these last two are fab.
Lorraine
Brenda you have been busy, beautiful cards, love the flowers on the first and the colours of the others.
Three Stunning creations, Brenda! I love them all and couldn't choose a favourite! It looks lovely outside this morning, but the wind is making it feel like minus 4!
Stunning cards Brenda, love the first best though. I have never worked with Pan Pastels, look so prettyxxx
Wonderful cards, Brenda. I especially love the rich colours and texture of the first one. Isn't it funny how we admire the technique skills of others and think we could never create anything similar, while the other person is simply sticking to her own comfort zone. On the other hand, seeing others use different techniques that inspire you to try something new is what makes our crafting world so interesting.
We had quite a storm last night. Today, it's hazy (cannot distinguish the sea from the sky) but the temperature is up, so it's probably Sahara sand blowing in from the south, causing headaches and dirty cards.
Have a wonderful Sunday and keep warm!

These are all lovely Brenda. I love the sentiment on your gorgeous hydrangea coloured card. Brushos are a mystery to me but the effect is brilliant xx

So beautiful, Brenda! I enjoy the backgrounds you make! I haven't tried this yet, but one of these days! The top card really stands out to me - love the added texture and flowers!
Love all your scene cards, Brenda, and these two are no exception. If I had to choose between them, I'd go for the Brusho one, I think. However, my favourite is the PB card, the colours are just fabulous! x
Such beautiful cards! So many wonderful details on the first card, and you know how much I always admire your scenic cards. Beautifully done!
Wow Brenda these are pure delight for the senses and of course the African savannah one is very close to my South African heart.

Oooo I'm loving the Devine colours in your PB card - I think I may have the swirly stamp, I'll have to hunt it out. Your African card takes me back 18 years to my overland expedition.
