So lots of flowers for my Stamping Sensations creation suggesting there have been a good few showers already to bring on those lovely blooms which are mostly all Chocolate Baroque with the exception of the Poppies which are Inkylicious. I stamped the all with my current favourite inks Versafine Clair, added the dancing girl and raindrops both of which are Inkylicious and the sentiment which is computer generated. I added glossy accents to the raindrops.
I make no excuses for bringing out William Wordsworth yet again but the lovely Penny Black verse just has to be used this time of year along with the lovely 40-378 Daffodil Dance which I repeat stamped using Distress Markers to fit within the aperture and also stamped PB Aspire and used Pan Pastels for the shading in he background.
And another for Stamping Sensations which is one of my recent Hochanda TV samples for Pete Simpson, distress inks for the background and the flowers were stamped onto the same piece of inky card and cut out and decoupaged onto the base card which also has a corner element using a stencil and texture paste. You can buy all of Pete's stamps, stencils and card etc., on his web site here.
My team mates have some lovely inspiration to share so please do pop over to the challenge blogs and see what they have created, I also hope you will join our challenges this month.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring cards, Brenda. Had to smile at your description of the first one, as we've definitely had plenty of showers already, and that was in March, so goodness knows what we're going to get in April! x

You have created such beauties again, Brenda. Love each one of these cards and how wonderful is that Daffodil sentiment!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Brenda, the raindrops on the first look amazing and so real(unlike my previous efforts). Gorgeous daffodil card and of course you had to use that verse which is perfect. Love the last with it's gorgeous colour tones and what patience you must have fussy cutting all those flowers, but worth the effort.

You have showcased springtime perfectly on these three lovelies Brenda. Gorgeous spring colours. The daffs are my favourite, I rescued the last of ours from the garden so they wouldn't get battered by the foul weather we had last Thursday!! xx
ReplyDeleteThree stunning creations, Brenda! I love them all. We have had a bit of sunshine yesterday and today, and my spring bulbs are putting on a bit of a show - not many daffodils have come up this year. Not sure if the squirrels have had them or it just isn't a good year. I am hanging my nose over Pete's stamps. They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards as always Brenda...do love the spring daffodils and all the colours you have used in the other cards.....super!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous trio of cards all with really lovely images and super designs, like the raindrops too.

Also here is raining and I'm happy, because Nature needs water in this time of the year, as the title of Stamping Sensation Challenge says :D
