I also have news of the next Craftalong show on Hochanda on 17th November when Lesley of Chocolate Baroque will be creating a Journal, the kits went on sale a couple of day's ago here so you can order yours now so you are all ready to craftalong with her. I was chuffed to bits to be asked to make the samples using the kit for the Hochanda promotional video so will share a couple today and some more next week.
The focus is very much Vintage, a lovely set of stamps which work well together or with your other stamps so very versatile, the journal is also included in the kit as well as a Gelli Plate, various cardstock, a brayer and other bits and pieces, you can see everything here.
I used a Tim Holtz die to cut out the corners, then stamped randomly with the script stamp that was also in the show and grunged it up a bit with DI's. I inked the twinchies with Oxides then stamped a variety of the stamps onto them, inked with Versamak and added UTEE, I did this process three times to give a nice smooth glazed finish then mounted them onto the base.
This was another Hochanda sample, this time for one of Pete's Artisan Design shows. An Oxide background, a large circle and small dots stencils, also from Pete and finally I stamped the large Rose from Kelley's Garden collection and coloured in with pencils. The sentiment if from the leaf set which is in the same collection.
Hope you all have a relaxing weekend and find some crafty time.

Hi, Brenda! These are lovely! I especially like the one with the tiny squares - the use of color and stencils is magnificently rich. I hope your new medical protocol is helping - by the way, your new blog header and side bar look fabulous! hugs, de
Just popping in to say how much I LOVE your AS cards, but especially that first one, Brenda. Gorgeous...I haven't used my da Vinci stamps for years but this puts them firmly in the forefront of my mind, so who knows? I love all your samples. Vintage can be so rewarding at the right time and you've made some fab samples...wonderful artwork :-)
Thanks for the inspiration.

Love the Vintage makes, Brenda, I had to check out the stamp set and now I am tempted... Hope you are well and have a lovely weekend, whatever the British weather is throwing at you (it's pretty miserable here..). xx
Wow, what fantastic works again. I like them all very much.
Have a nice weekend.

How GORGEOUS vintage creations, Brenda. You are soooooo talented, my dear friend. Kisses!!!!!!
Such beautiful creations Brenda. Love all the inking and stamping. The Tim Holtz die cut set has been on my wish list for a while...one of these days I'll have to get them!
The new kit looks amazing and how wonderful that in includes a gelli plate. I need to get out mine again soon!! It's been waaaayyy too long, I've forgotten how to use it!
Beautiful makes Brenda...such a lot of time and effort in all of these. xx

Some really great background and a super fine set of cards using some lovely images and great colour choices.
We have a saying 'up North' that red and green should never be seen, except upon a fool. Slightly different to your Grans.

Another aray of gorgeous makes which I really do not know how you manage to fit into your life of hospital trips. Do hope you are felling a lot better then you were. Hugs Mrs A.
Ciao Brenda, intanto grazie per il tuo commento sul mio blog nonostante tutte le cose che hai avuto da fare. Entrambi i tuoi capolavori per lo show di CB sono davvero stupendi, che belle composizioni! La vita è incredibile davvero come dice il bel sentiment...!
Mi piacciono moltissimo gli splendidi colori che hai usato per le prime due card vintage!!! Amo molto marrone e blu chiaro, anche se io non lo uso mai: lo trovo elegante, femminile e delicato!
Anche l'ultima card è delicata e femminile con quelle rose sfumate in blu e viola. E il sentiment è davvero toccante...Meravigliosa!
La tempesta è finalmente passata, qui: oggi sole caldo e uccellini dappertutto! :D Spero che anche nel tuo paradiso verde ci sia il sole

I love your backgrounds for Allsorts, and your samples with the Hochanda stamps are great, the craftalong looks really good. Will have to try to remember to watch that for some tips and inspiration.
Happy crafting
