Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Kath is our host and would like us to use a favourite stamp or die on our creations, our winner will receive two stamp sets. Further down you will also find some Chocolate Baroque shares, those from my post here a couple of days ago and also my 15 minute cards which are on today's post here.
No surprises here as half of my crafty friends and those who have ever attended one of my workshops could have predicted, yep it's good old Stampendous P107 Agapanthus Cluster along with Penny Black 2695J Dance, Sing, Love which are without doubt the most used stamp from the hundreds, maybe thousands.......I dare not count, that I own.
I started with a background of Burushos which I quickly blotted as I wanted to maintain the blue and green colours without too much bleed, some stencilling using a brilliance inkpad, then simply stamped my two main images with black versafine. Simples as the Meerkat's would say.
Now my Sewing Room Chocolate Baroque Hochanda TV shares.................
Happy weekend all and please do pop over to the challenge blogs and see the inspiration from my team mates and of course I hope you will join in our Allsorts challenge this week.

I really love your first card, and like you, love the agapanthus cluster, not sure if that is one I have (similar ones though), and "dance" is a favourite too, not that it's seen the light of day for a while! (Not counting mine either, but it is definitely in the thousands) Have a great weekend. 3 points, hopefuly tomorrow!
All so gorgeous Brenda, I wish I could stamp like you, it just doesn't come easy to me. Xxxx
All beautiful cards Brenda but I adore the first one. It's so full of inky loveliness and that verse is a favourite of mine. Enjoy your weekend x
I love everything about your favourite image card, Brenda - the colours, the stamps you used and the design - it's fab. Sometimes, simples are the best. All your other pieces are wonderful, but especially the butterfly and flowers stamp - that's a lovely image. You amaze me every time I visit your blog and see your versatility. The Sewing room cards are wonderful, too.

What is it about that agapanthus stamp that we all love?! I removed mine from its wood block a long time ago (no space) and it is still going strong!
Lovely makes to cheer me up on a wet and very windy Saturday here - hoping for a good weekend! x
Gorgeous cards Brenda. Loving your first one, love these colours together and love the stamp. Stunning Always thinking I need to get my PB stamps out, have quite a few lying unloved in a drawer. Think Ill need to visit your blog for inspiration one day and get inking! Too much goes on uptop and not enough doing lol!!! Carol xx
You have been busy with these lovely cards. The first one has to be my favourite - a lovely image and one of my favourite sentiments too.

Such lovely backgrounds for your beautiful images, Brenda! I had not considered using my Brilliance inks with a stencil - thanks for the tip! Not sure why I hadn't considered some of my hybrid or pigment ink pads for that technique, but I thank you for putting it before me, so I could see how fabulous it is! Your sewing theme creations are fantastic! hugs, de
beautiful and gorgeous cards Brenda
