Good morning to you all, it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts where Tracy Mouse would like to see 'Sparkle'. This weeks prize is a pair of tickets to the NEC Hobbycraft show in November.
I have two glittery makes this week and as I have also written up a post over at Tattered Lace Blog for the above card won't bore you with all the details again.
My second make is an inky creation using Brusho's for the background, Lavinia stamps and liberal helpings of purple glitter on the Fairie's wings and fantasy tree.
My second make is an inky creation using Brusho's for the background, Lavinia stamps and liberal helpings of purple glitter on the Fairie's wings and fantasy tree.
I wanted a fairly wide spread of colour so spritzed a piece of 600 gsm Fabrinano liberally with water then sprinkled on the Brushos, lilac, yellow and lemon and a bit more water to disperse the colour in some areas. Next I did the stamping using black archival ink, inked all round the edges with DI dusky concord, added the glitter and a bow across one corner with a rhinestone ribbon slide to add to the sparkle.
And a day late my mid month piece at Penny Black and More challenge where our theme of Anything Goes runs until the last day of the month so there is still plenty of time to join in.
And also a day late.................knuckles suitable rapped...........my share from yesterday's mid month post over at Stamping Sensations, this months theme is Sew Special, sewing real or faux or a So Special sentiment, it's been a tad quite at that one so please do pop over and join in.
Happy weekend all.
Brenda this is another beautylicious series of cards. Wish I could be a fly on the wall when you are sitting down to create these beauties.

Lovely card Brenda, all very different too, love the blue butterfly one best though, xx
ReplyDeleteWhat girl doesn't like a bit of sparkle Brenda!!!
ReplyDeleteEach card is totally gorgeous but I particularly like the flowers with the sun shining on them and the birds flying off into the distance. Beautiful lilac and blue combination of colours.

Morning B, 4 gorgeous cards, can't give you a favourite here though, love them all! I really need to get some crafty play time in, I've not had my brushos out for ages. Hoping that my change in work hours means I can. Have a lovely weekend, we are off to Bristol to return our son to uni after the summer. 😒
ReplyDeleteGorgeous makes, as usual Brenda. Have a good weekend xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Brenda. LOVE that tree on the second one, and the background is so lovely too. One of these days I'll get around to trying Brushos (I've been telling myself that for ages, lol). x

Ciao Brenda, le tue card sono favolose!! Mi piace tantissimo l'edera che scende nella prima e quel fiocco viola meraviglioso con la fibbia e il brillante!!
ReplyDeleteLa mia preferita è la seconda card che hai messo su Penny Black and More: adoro il tuo sfondo, così dolce, i fiori meravigliosi e la stupefacente farfalla!!
Nella terza card il tuo cucito è un bellissimo tocco di classe!
Buon fine settimana!
Such a wonderful variety of cards today, Brenda. Your last card is my favourite of the bunch, although your Brusho background and card also looks amazing.

ReplyDeleteAll so gorgeous! I love the scene you created in the first one...fairies are a fave of mine and I just love the silhouette and the Brusho...butterflies are a love as well so I am in love with those cards. I just could not pick one. Those butterfly dies are fabulous...are they Tattered Lace? Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous cards, Brenda! I love them all! The third one really caught my eye - I love the colour combo, beautiful inking, and the gorgeous butterfly die cuts!
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful Brenda. Love the atmospheric feel to the first and the second is so pretty. Love the stamp on the third.

Oh my goodness Brenda you have been a busy bunny.
ReplyDeleteYour cards (all of them) are just glorious.
I love the tree, Ivy and fairy stamps.
What are they called please ?
As for the PB midmonth card that is just amazing.
I really do love your style :)
Your sun rays always captured my attention, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteCor! Love every one - they are just gorgeous and lush, wonderful stamping and great use of colour. The third and fourth are my favourite two. I love the landscape you created with that gorgeous colour scheme and lovely stamps. I also love those brush stroke images from Penny Black, the stitching gives awesome texture and that butterfly is just wonderful, I'm guessing it's probably a Tattered Lace die so I'll have to keep a look out for that one. Hope you have a great day hun Karen x
ReplyDeleteWow, Brenda! It's another wonderful post full of inspiring cards... that fairy mushroom is stunning (my mother is a big fungus fan, might just have to invest for her sake!), and I love the sparkly starscape and that beautiful watercolour flower at the end - fabulous cards all round!
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
What a bevy of very diversified designs on each of these pretty cards. #1 is splendid with the embossed roofs on that die, and colors are wonderful.Loved the bank of white trees behind the cityscape. Enjoyed the fairy scene on #2 and of course loving the Lavina images over that magical brusho background. Her wings sparkle so prettily. #3 was a change of color pace, and love the soft sponging and the multicolors of the wonderful lacy butterfly and the sentiment. #4 was gorgeous with the serene watercolored blue on the flowers and the delicate patterns on the butterfly perched there. Wonderful dp combined with the images on all 4 cards, and your zigzag stitched trim has been done perfectly. You are one busy crafter...each one of these is a masterpiece. TFS & Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Brenda! I especially like the 3rd card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Hope you're well!
ReplyDeleteLoving all these cards, Brenda - but particularly the Lavinia brushos & the pink & aqua PB ones.....just GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteall the best,

Four wonderful cards Brenda. Love them all especially the last two. Must admit that sewing isn't my thing but maybe it's time to give it a go xx
ReplyDeleteEach card is a masterpiece. I love them all but my favourite one of all is the pink & turqiuoise PB card.
ReplyDeleteI just love all the butterflies. Hugs Mrs A.
It is a feast to the eyes again in ths post! Love the brusho BG and ofcourse the Levinia stamps! The two-toned card with the beautiful sunrays stands out aswell! Hope you have a good week, hugs, Gerrina

Just been on a catch up Brenda, and like you I'm so easily distracted by blogger, hence my absence of late.
