It's time for another share of one of my GDT cards over at the Chocolate Baroque blog. I also have a a couple of shares of Tattered Lace cards that will be coming up over the nest few days at the live C&C programmes from the Crafting Live Belfast show.
It's a Spring inspired creation using Pan Pastels, toadstools from the Autumn
Poppy stamp set and one of the rabbit images and pussy willow from the Glorious
Spring stamp set.
I started with the reverse side of a piece of centura pearl, masked a
sun and created the background with Pan Pastels. Next I stamped the images,
rubbed out the Pan Pastels from the toadstools and coloured them in with
Spectrum pencils. The sunrays were then sponged in with Distress Inks and some
extra shading added beneath rabbit and toadstools to ground them.
These gorgeous birds are part of a new Charisma release, as with all the Charisma range there is a CD with the images in several colurways along with matching backing papers and dies to cut out the image, a close look at the birds beaks shows just how clever and precise the artwork and dies are.
For this one I created a simple background with distress inks.
Have a good Wednesday all and many thanks for popping in today.
2 real beauties today Brenda...such lovely designs. The birds could well be framed. Happy Wednesday xx

Brenda, questo post mi fa fare "Awwwww" e "Oooohhhh"... Che meraviglie!!!! Gli uccellini sono davvero realistici, in Italia ci sono uccellini così e mi piacciono tanto. Il tuo decoupage ha un bellissimo effetto 3D!
ReplyDelete.. Ma la prima card è veramente SPETTACOLARE!!! Quei raggi del sole danno l'impressione di entrare nel paesaggio, che dimensione meravigliosa!!! Tutto così bello e mi sembra di essere lì dentro con il coniglio a guardare gli uccelli in volo! :D Sento quasi il suono del silenzio e i profumi... Un vero sogno! :) Grazie.
...L'ho pinnato, ovviamente! :D
Spero che tu abbia una buona giornata

A trio of lovelies...like the spring scene in #1 with those glorious rays for the woodland creatures. You'll probably guess those beautiful birds will be dear to my heart though. You've used them so well in each of these cards, to create a feeling of spring loveliness. Just fabulous looks in each card. You're amazing! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteWonderful creations, Brenda. Those birds are gorgeous and love that beautiful watercolored background on the last card, and such pretty dies on the second card! Gorgeous scene on the first on ...one of these days I will try making a card with sun rays.
ReplyDeleteA great trio of nature cards - the first one is just wonderful with those fabulous toadstools and lovely warm colour palette.

ReplyDeleteGlorious sunrise scene, Brenda! Don't you love the attentiveness in the bunny, and those gorgeously regal geese flying through the magnificent rays! Your bird cards are so peaceful and lovely. While they are cheerful, the also lend to a wonderful vintageness. (Is there such a word?) hugs, de

ReplyDeleteGreat scene you have created on that first card and lovely style for the second card. Love them all Brenda.
ReplyDeleteI love your Chocolate Baroque card Brenda, it's my right up my street as it's the sort of stamping that I like to do myself. The cards with the birds on are so beautiful and I especially like the one where you've used the lemon background as the colours just work together so well. Great work :) x
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous.
