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.

How sweet, loving the top one the best, great little scene
Three absolutely beautiful cards Brenda. The little bluetits are certainly very detailed. I'll have to watch the tv. My favourite is the first card. I really looked at it for several minutes. I love everything about it. Barbxx
All three of these are just gorgeous Brenda, but that first one is a real stunner! Just wow! x
Great cards, I really like them!!!

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!
.. 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

Beautiful cards, totally stunning background on the first card but love the bluetits's cards.
For the first time in a couple of years we have them nesting in our box, the nest is built but no sign of any egg yet, hope this weather doesn't put them off, fingers crossed.

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
Wonderful 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.
A great trio of nature cards - the first one is just wonderful with those fabulous toadstools and lovely warm colour palette.

Awwww, love your nature inspired scenic beauty! These birds are having so much depth and dimension with your fabulous scene!
Such beautiful spring creations, Benda! Love those mushroom stamps!
Glorious 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
Absolutely stunning . , all of them. Xx
Brenda what stunning cards love them all

Love all three cards but those birdies are just top in my book! These are suitable for framing! Gorgeous!
Great scene you have created on that first card and lovely style for the second card. Love them all Brenda.
I 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
These are gorgeous.
