Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our host is Tracy and her theme is 'Thank You or New Year'. Our winner will receive a lovely prize from Craft Stash.
The background for this one was stamped using Distress Markers and an old Inkylicious stamp, holding it in my hand to stamp just a section of the stamp, circles added using a top of an embossing powder tub dipped into distress ink and used as a stamp. The focal image is Penny Black inked with the same colour Distress Inks and spritzed with water before stamping, a few sequins and Penny Black sentiment.
The above card is very CAS for me but it's growing on me! The flowers are a Sweet Poppy stencil, I used pearlescent white medium, also from Sweet Poppy and sprinkled gold glitter on as soon as I removed the stencil and the medium still wet. The sentiment is the same Penny Black one as above.
Have a good weekend.
Morning Brenda Leto gorgeous cards, love the colours and your distressed background on your first card and your CAS card is stunning the gold really stands out

Two really lovely cards, the sentiment on both cards is lovely. Super background and colour choice on your first lovely creation and a really perfect CAD/LIM card for your second card, this certainly glitters and it is gold.

Ciao Brenda, entrambe le tue card sono piene di dolcezza e di eleganza. Non potrei scegliere una preferita, sono entrambe bellissime e così diverse! Il sentiment è stupendo!!
ReplyDeleteLa prima card mi ricorda un'antica stampa giapponese. Mi piace tantissimo l'effetto striato sulla parte superiore, con i cerchi e i bellissimi fiori arancioni che sembrano uscire dalla carta!!
E quei fiori glitterati che hai fatto con lo stencil nella seconda card sono davvero meravigliosi, sembrano fatati!! Una CAS perfetta!!!
Qui piove a dirotto, ma nella mia zona niente danni, per ora. Spero che da te ci sia il sole per rallegrarti un po' e spero anche che ci siano buone notizie per tuo marito.
Ti abbraccio
Both look lovely Brenda, I do like the stencilled one. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous cards Brends love the watercolour flowers and fabulous background-beautiful CAS card and love the sparkly gold stencil-very delicate

Greetings from a very sunny Dubai Brenda. Two beautiful cards and I like the way you made the background of the first- plus I always love that flower. The CAS design with the stencil looks fabulous and I can just imagine the sparkle of the gold.
ReplyDeleteAvril xx
Great cards!
ReplyDeleteI love that sentiment!
Hope you are well!
Hi Brenda just seen the comment you left and thank you -everything is slowly gettting back to normal fingers crossed

These are both gorgeous Brenda and I love how you reach for anything to stamp with, including the lid of the embossing powder - a stamper after my own heart! The Penny Black flowers are stunning, especially in those colours and the background is beautiful. The second card is my favourite though - I like a CAS card - and I love how you've created the glittery strings of flowers with that stencil. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous, Brenda, but the Stencil paste one is really beautiful. I've always loved that PB stamp, too.

2 great cards, Brenda! Love the first one, but oh wow--such a fabulous CAS card!
