Morning Peeps, it's Saturday so that means it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts and this week Wendy would like us to get inventive with our ribbons following the theme of 'More than just a bow' Our sponsor is Fantastic Ribbons and the prize is four seasons of ribbons which amounts to an awful lot of them.
I also have some more Chocolate Baroque shares, it's not intentional posting a day late (as I did with my PB cards last week), I did remember to schedule the post over at the CB DT blog but not on my own blog................I really do need to get my act together don't I !
So the card above is a samples made for a recent Tattered Lace Rare Earth stamps show on Create and Craft TV, this one using the Sweet Pea stamped onto a Oxide ink background, over stamped with just the outline stamp and then the both parts of the stamp focally. I cut one side of the piece using my Zutter and added ribbons then stamped the sentiment which is also Rare Earth.
This one uses a Stamp Addicts sentiment, it's a large one and makes a card on it's own and I just used various ribbons to loop beneath the sentiment panel. And I would like to enter this into the current Rudolph Days challenge, I have not entered for a couple of months. I started with all good intentions but then health issues kicked in and I didn't get any further than doing the essentials craft wise.
Now my CB shares using the lovely new stamps Lesley launched on Hochanda a few weeks ago.
I won't go into detail and you will find everything over at the DT blog, link above. The background is what I mopped up from my craft sheet after making another card and the stamps are Take It Or Leaf It, Chequered Flowers and Words to Dazzle and Sparkle.
My canvas is a mixture of senciling using Useful Leaves and Seasonal Elements and elements cut from one of the pages from the Colouring Collection and sentiment onto scraps of card using Amazing Mackintosh Words. Lots of bits and pieces so an hopping over to see Miss Di and Parsnip at the Snippets Playground, been missing from there for a few weeks as well.
My thanks for popping in today and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
A lovely collection of creations here Brenda, from the hot fiery colours of that first one to the immediate contrast of the coolness on the second one. The Christmas one is lovely and so different from the inkiness of the first two and the last one again lovely and cool with the pinks. My favourite is the second one, you know me, anything with inky "washiness" just has to be a winner for me and I am so in love with the oxides especially the new colours! Have a lovely weekend Brenda and I hope that you are feeling ok at the moment, I send you my love xxxxx
ReplyDeleteWell Brenda, you have been very busy again. I love the sweet pea card, my favourite colours too!

Your Rudolph Days Challenge card is so lovely. What a brilliant idea to place the ribbon under the sentiment panel. It gives it such a lovely accent.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand how health can keep you away from challenges. In fact that is why you have not seen me about commenting like I used to a couple of years ago. I can not seem to get out of the flare up and struggle to keep up at the moment. There are very few posts on my blog lately. I have made cards but by then my hands are too sore to type the blog post and get round commenting!
I do pop in and out looking though...Always enjoy your cards, Brenda.
A stunning collection of cards Brenda. Wonderful backgrounds as always and I love the way you've used your ribbons. Barbxx
