Morning Peeps, I have another Chocolate Baroque piece of artwork to share which you today which you will also find on the Design Team Blog.
I make no excuses that's it Poppies again, but it's no secret how much I adore them and Chocolate Baroque have several sets of them which are just Divine. The Poppies I have used on this card are from the Autumn Poppy stamp set which is a huge A4 size packed with leaves, Poppies and toadstools.
My starting point was to create the background with a harlequin mask sponging Distress Inkpads Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door, graduating the colours to create a random look. I then stamped the Poppy image with Versamark Black and Detail Clear embossing powder.
Next I bleached the colour from the Poppies and Butterflies and coloured in with Spectrum Pencils. The sentiment is from Words of Inspiration and stamped and embossed as with the Poppies.
I have been rather remiss with blogging my recent creations for the most recent Tattered Lace shows on Create and Craft, so here are a few from last weekends show which featured the Dinosaur's which sold out rather quickly but will be back in stock and yesterdays Craftinator featuring lots of storage along with a few new dies.
Thanks for popping in today.
It's no secret that cute and I just don't go together, but I have to admit that I found these little fellows rather sweet.
More in my comfort zone, flowers and pretty pinks

Good morning Brenda
A gorgeous collection of cards today. I must admit that the dinosaurs passed me by but they would be brilliant for children's cards and gift boxes. I love poppies too and so appropriate for this time of year.
Enjoy your day

A lovely selections of cards Brenda!
I love your poppy card, the dinosaurs cards are fun and the little characters are cute, the pink and black card has an elegance about it and I love the polka dot flowers on the last card.
Hope you are keeping well.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Great cards, love the first one. Hope you keep dry today. :)
Gorgeous cards, Brenda! Those Chocolate Baroque poppies are gorgeous - must get mine out and have a play! Of the others, the last one is my favourite. A wonderful combination of dies, and I am in awe of your bows!
Wonderful batch of cards Brenda and definitely no excuse required for using that fabulous poppy stamp, it looks great against the stencilled background. Super fun dinosaur cards and the flower cards are so pretty xx
I absolutely love the poppy stamp and it lovely coloured with pencils, so delicate. You are definitely the queen of poppies Brenda :) x

Hallo liebe Brenda,

HI Brenda, lots of beautiful artwork to see :) I also love all the CB Poppies. The dinosaur's are cute, you've done job with them. I don't 'do cute' either, but still admire cute designs. All of the cards are beauties. Take care, xx
Wat zijn je kaarten schitterend Brenda.De bovenste kaart vind ik het mooiste ik ben gek op klaprozen
Groetjes gerrie
Loving the gorgeous poppies with that stunning CB image! Enjoyed reading the techniques employed to get to this brilliant card. I don't do 'cute' very well either, but this delightful little dino just made me smile to see how you've used the critter on each of these 2 very pretty cards. It's 'pretty' rather than 'cute'...even though Dino isn't a subject I'd try myself. After seeing how you've employed him, would rethink my opinions!!! He's just fun & delicious on each project. I will fess up that the floral cards stole my heart though. Each is beautiful; loving the images, die mat shapes, colors & layouts - the amazing way you've used the background dies (and the hot pink background looks like the Ritz glitter or EP products). Of course your beautiful bows add so much elegance to an already stunning card! TFS & Hugs
Beautiful cards Brenda!! Love the cute die cuts!! They are lovely!!

Wow! Splendidi lavori, Brenda!! Il design di tutte le card è bellissimo, ma i papeveri sono semplicemente favolosi!! Mi piace tantissimo come saltano fuori dallo sfondo! Mi piace tanto anche la terza card con i nastrini, che bella idea!
Oooo what a fantastic collection and I'm so impressed with the Dinosaur ones, especially, as i know, it's so out of your comfort zone, i bought a couple of stencils back from Canada, & i must find time to play them, Luv Sam x

Five fabulous creations and you can never have too many poppy stamps, was shocked to see your animal cards, didn't think it was you but they did make me smile, especially the first one of them.
Love the last card, pink and green goes so well.
Silly me, realised that Christmas is coming and a certain item could go on my Christmas list.
