The best and most beautiful


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our host is Mervi and she would like to see creation with 'More than one word'. We have another lovely prize from Craft Stash. It's also mid month time at Penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations challenges so I lave my shares for those posts. Our themes there are 'Make it Feminine' and 'Favourite Stamps' so I do hope you will join in.

Not my normal style of card but I wanted to focus on the Penny Black stamp which fitted really well within this die frame set, so a fairly simple one to make placing the die cuts over some DP, the sentiment focally and two Penny Black Butterflies.


If I ever needed any reminder that I love Penny Black stamps this post confirms as apart from the flowers on the card above, every single stamp is a Penny Black right down to the little Dragonfly on the last card. For the above card I used DI's and a stencil to create the background, stamps my all time favourite Penny Black sentiment and stamped the Heartfelt flowers onto vellum, embossed with detail white EP and cut out with the coordinating die.


Another Penny Black Brushstroke stamp inked direct to stamp with Distress Markers and repeat stamped to build up the colour, some soft background stencilling, a PB sentiment and Dragonfly.

Happy weekend everyone.

Beautiful, beautiful cards Brenda - I'm not sure which is my favourite, they are all so gorgeous - I think maybe the pink one wins by a petal.

I'm loving each one of these cards! So many great details and I too don't use dies that much but you really created a beauty with the designer paper peeking out from under the die. My favorite is the second card with that gorgeous pink and the vellum flowers. So pretty!

Ciao Brenda, che meraviglie queste tre card! Molto diverse tra loro, ma tutte e tre molto dolci e femminili! Bianco e rosa sono così belli insieme! Il frame della prima card è molto elegante, perfetto per racchiudere quel meraviglioso pensiero e le farfalle danno un tocco di allegria e di freschezza!
La seconda card è davvero stupenda, sono contenta di vedere i fiori in 3D di Heartfelt, secondo me sono i migliori e tu hai fatto un ottimo lavoro con il vellum e l'embossing. Bellissime le sfumature gialle al centro, e lo sfondo a stencil è così soft e sognante! Anche sulla terza card lo sfondo a stencil è delicato e aggiunge un tocco speciale ai favolosi fiori stampati, così vividi e brillanti, e al sentiment! La piccola libellula è adorabile!!
Spero che i tuoi occhi stiano riprendendo forza e che tutto proceda bene per la tua salute, e anche per quella di tuo marito e di Poppy.
Un grande abbraccio e buona Domenica!

Wow, stunning cards Brenda, gorgeous dies and design with lovely butterflies.
Super shades of pink, love those flower dies and the super sentiment.
A great use of the brush stroke stamps, I have a few but have no idea how to use them, most bought in error, pretty colours.

A stunning trio of cards Brenda, I think I have the die set that you used in the first one, it looks lovely with the filigree layer raised up on foam pads. Beautiful vellum flowers too on the second.
