The Charisma Peony Bloom decoupaged and placed on a background created with an acrylic block and distress inks
There is a new Tattered Lace Pick of the Day launching on Create and Craft so I thought I had better share a few of my recent makes, some are a tad overdue as time seems to have got the better of me lately. Looking at this collection it is apparent that I have a fixation with ribbons and bows, I never really thought about it before but one seems to pop up on most things I make, but somehow they just seem to finish a card off nicely.
The new Trio Autumn Leaves and coordinating stamps, distress inks and a piece of corrugated from my secret stash - have to keep it hidden from hubby otherwise it disappears into his recycling bin. I am hoping my ripped piece of corrugated will count as a snippet and I can join the boys and girls in the Snippet Playground - we are hoping for snow before Christmas so we can have and a mammoth snowball fight and play snow angels - please Di, promise not to get too wet?
The new Floral Stag normal size for the focal element then a smaller one using black shrink plastic, it's amazing how clearly the intricate design still comes out when reduced in size
Using letters from the new 2016 alphabet as a stencil and Dylusions to create a background and just the antlers from the same die used above
Have a good week all and as always my thanks for your visits and kind words.
Oh as I was scrolling down I kept thinking "this is my favourite" for every card. Stunning every one of them! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful array of designs, Brenda. Love the girly first, the masculine second and the mono black and white third.

More awesome inkiness from you my friend. Can't pick between them.
ReplyDeleteA win is a win as they say - just wish it had been a better contest - not very enthralling at all... but maybe they'll 'put on the ritz' and not be below 'normal' tomorrow! x
Gorgeous cards Brenda! Love all the different styles you can create in! I am totally in love with that easel card, the neutral tones and that fabulous deer with the fancy antlers, wow!! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWOW Brenda! These are all so very beautiful! I love the bows you made. I hope you get the snow you want and not too much. We are set for some in the next couple of days. Hope all is well with you. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteAmazing work Brenda ! All these cards are so precious !

Oooooh! Your deer card is my fave one:) and love how you used as a shrinking one too! Love all beautiful dies with awesome inkiness!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Wonderful cards as always Brenda! Gosh your bows are always really stunning - and I love each card you have here, especially the leafy snippets one. Of course the corrugated snippet counts - it adds perfect dimension to a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteYup, snow angels are just fine - no snow as yet down here but I have plenty of big towels and supplies of hot chocolate lined up for when required :)
Lovely that you came to play as I know things must be busy for you right now.
Hugs

Wow so many beautiful cards Brenda. I love the colours of the bottom design, the reindeer is amazing with so much both large and shrunk and your bows are always gorgeous. Take good care, Shirley xx
ReplyDeleteBrenda, you held out on us for sure! But not sharing these lovelies over time and then hitting us with an overload of artsy goodness sure makes for a happy Tuesday morning! I'm with you on the bow love - ha! I love so much what you've done with this deer! Blows my mind! Gosh, I have a stash of shrink plastic somewhere that I can't find - boo! This makes me want to die cut and shrink stuff all day long! Tee hee, anyway, these are simply gorgeous cards each and every one! Lovely lineup!

Four beautiful cards Brenda and I love those pretty flowers and acrylic block background and then lovely autumn leaves with great colours and the corrugated card and raffia which give it that organic feel, and the stag with those exotic anters looks wonderful in the black and white, and then how clever to use the antlers as a flourish on that last with that gorgeous coloured background. x
ReplyDeleteWow these are awesome Brenda I will have to make sure to tune in to see what goodies are on offer.

Another beautiful collectation of cards Brenda. The stag is stunning and I like how you have just used the antlers for the last card.
ReplyDeleteYour gran was definetly correct - I cannot believe how this year has flown. It will soon be Christmas and I am not prepared as usual. Time to panic? No it will all come together in the end (hopefully).
Enjoy your day

ReplyDeleteIo amo i tuoi fiocchi... rendono perfette le tue creazioni! Io non sono capace di farli, mi accontento di ammirare i tuoi! :D
ReplyDeleteTutte belle e armoniose le tue card, Brenda! Ma sono davvero innamorata della seconda, quella con i caldi colori autunnali, le foglie e il pezzo di cartone ondulato riciclato.. è meravigliosa con il nastro di raffia e il bellissimo bottone rustico!!
Another feast for the eyes Brenda! And there is no problem with having a "signature" embellishment. If it works for you... xx
ReplyDeleteFour brilliant cards, all very different but each one has it's own special brilliance, Really, really love the leaves one.
ReplyDeleteE-mails coming in fine now but can't send any out now, phew so frustrating.

you make such amazing bows!! i love the bling you add to the centers. i have to say that second card just blew me out of the water. i adore that currogated panel in the center.
ReplyDeleteStrange how we never believed our old Grans when they said it Brenda, but we know now that they were not wrong LOL.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful selection of cards :o)

ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, Im so very sorry I have returned your wonderful visits to my blog, I dont know how you keep up with all your blog hoping I do find I really do get rather lazy about doing it, and Im really going to improve i promise though Im due to have a cataract done on the 29th so maybe have to put it of till its settled down.
ReplyDeleteWow what a stunning cards I do love how you manage to find lots of different designs to play with, they are just gorgeous. I hope you are keeping well, my daughter is now in a wheelchair her MS has really taken over her body and she just cannot manage to well and has lots of help thank goodness. Take care and have a wonderful Xmas, hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
Beautiful cards, I really love the sentiment on the 2nd card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever lady using the antlers as the spray on the last card and using the black shrink plastic so you can have the same image inside holding the card up on the easel. Something to store away in my memory.
