Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our host is Lynn who would like us to 'Make to Girly', this weeks lucky winner will be able to choose a whole collection of images from Julia's JMC Designs store.
It's still short and sweet again I'm afraid as it's another couple of weeks until I get glasses so I can see the screen with any degree of clarity, so all rather hit and miss still. My top card used the lovely Zamira from Lavinia along with Poppies, all stamped with Versafine Clair.
And this card features Marcelle from this weeks sponsor, something of a challenge for me as I'm not a colourist at the best of times, let alone without glasses.It's still short and sweet again I'm afraid as it's another couple of weeks until I get glasses so I can see the screen with any degree of clarity, so all rather hit and miss still. My top card used the lovely Zamira from Lavinia along with Poppies, all stamped with Versafine Clair.
I managed to get a card made for the current Butterfly Challenge which I've not joined in with for a while, the current requirements for the letter 'T' are tunnel card, tea rose, teal, thistle, twine, two of something and of course a Butterfly. You can't really go wrong with inky backgrounds so lack of vision wasn't a great issue, three colours are Distress Oxides, a Crafty Individuals image, then I stamped the Butterfly twice more to decoupage, a twine bow on his throax, three pearls and dies to create the tunnel effect.
Have a great weekend.

The first card is so divine and gorgeous.
Happy weekend;-))m
Stunning cards, love the first one xx
Wow these are gorgeous Brenda! I love all of them, full of inspiration, and you are doing amazing under the circumstances xxx
Wow, great cards Brenda. I love the first one, stunning. Have a great weekend.x
Ciao Brenda, anche senza occhiali vai alla grande, direi!!! :) Tre stupende cards, e specialmente il trittico è sensazionale!!! Zamira è la mia fata preferita tra le ultime rilasciate e la scena che hai creato per lei è davvero deliziosa, così divisa con i tre pannelli e gli splendidi sfondi!!!
La tunnel card con la farfalla è sorprendente, favolosi colori e mi piace molto come hai evidenziato alcune parole del sentiment con i cerchi/macchie di tazza! Il twine sulla farfalla attira l'attenzione sulla bellissima farfalla 3D!
E l'ultima card, così diversa dal tuo solito stile, mi piace moltissimo, è davvero elegante e dolcissima!! L'hai colorata così bene senza occhiali, io senza i miei "4 occhi" non sarei mai riuscita a non sbordare con i colori! LOL :D
Ti auguro un buon weekend, spero che da te ora ci sia il sole... so che c'è stata molta pioggia, spero che non abbia fatto troppi danni.
Qui la primavera sembra già arrivata
Un forte abbraccio
Super cards Brenda and I absolutely adore the first one, it's beautiful. Hoping your weekend is a happy one xx

Amazing cards Brenda, especially the first one. I love the shades of greens against the black stamping x
Hi B, beautiful and brilliant designs, love them all and always enjoy coming here to see what you make.xx
these cards are so pretty!
You're my hero, and my inspiration, Miss Brenda! Not just through your soulful artwork, but by sharing your life (it's blessings and challenges) and your tremendous stamina. Hoping that the new glasses will bring with them a whole new way of seeing things, physically. Your beautiful heart already sees tremendous beauty. Had to PIN all your lovelies today, B. The feminine scene bringing forth Life, the butterfly mosaic indicating the realms of Life, and your girl in pink all bring out a different type of nurturing and love. Thanks for sharing, big hugs, de
A gorgeous fairy card in a very nice shape. A beautiful butterfly card, love all the layers and depth and you did a very good job colouring withour glasses on the last card! Marlies x
Three beautiful cards Brenda. I love the magical fairy scene, the butterfly looks amazing with all those layers and your colouring on the third is perfect xx
Stunningly beautiful work!! How divine!!
Yet again your first card is just breathtaking - I could look at it all day long - so beautiful.
Love the butterfly too - the colours are lovely. The third card is so pretty.
oh my word, Brenda, that top card is particularly spectacular!
A trio of gorgeous cards Brenda, beautifully designed and coloured, I especially love the first one, Kate x x
Gorgeous cards Brenda, all so pretty and I especially love the butterfly one.
Hope you get your glasses soon as I know exactly what that's like having gone through it myself when I had my cataract ops.
Fliss xx
Fabulous cards Brenda really love the beautiful beautiful tunnel card
Carol x
A great selection of card Brenda, love the shape of the first card and the colours and image on both the first two. Was quite shocked on the second card as I can not remember ever seeing you use pink.
Kath x
The top two are truly stunning
I love all of these gorgeous cards Brenda, but you know me the Lavinia one has to be my favourite.
Sue xx
All such beautiful cards Brenda. Seeing your gorgeous Lavinia card on the DT blog inspired me to get my Lavinias inky as well for this theme. You are so good at remembering the fairies names too! I never do!
A wonderful inky butterfly card as well, those colors are so pretty and loving the fun JMC card with the wonderful sketch!
Beautiful cards Brenda! I love the Lavinia card's semi circular gatefold shape and the background looks great (not sure if it's a Distress Oxide or alcohol inks but it's perfect for those whimsical scenes). Have a great Sunday. x
Beautiful selection of cards Brenda I love the shape and the fairy tale scenes on the first card amazing..
Hope your coming along nicely.

Your triptich looks so gorgeous! Beautiful scene and use of the dreamy stamps! And so good to see that beautiful Crafty Individuals butterfly stamp; love this one... It isn't easy I think for a busy bee to have to slow down and wait untill the next step in the proces...wish you patience... Hugs, Gerrina
What an amazing display of cards Brenda - and all different styles! What an fascinating shape your first card is and what a gorgeous background. The layered stamping on your tunnel card is really effective and the twine is the perfect embellishment for your butterfly. I can't believe you coloured Marcelle so beautifully without glasses on your third card!!! Vicky x
Fabulous cards Brenda, the screen is fantastic, I love the pretty colours on the tunnel card and get you...a coloured image, I thought your blog had been hijacked!! Great design and such pretty paper. Hope you are still improving xx
WOW that fairy card is amazing Brenda
Cheers
Dr Sonia
This is so pretty. The colours look really good. Love the butterfly cut twice more . Looks just like a picture frame. Take care with your eyes and hope you get your glasses soon. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me. Hugs Mrs A.
Fabulous cards Brenda, love the background for the fairy card and the design. The background colours on the butterfly card are beautiful with the black stamped image. For not having glasses Brenda, the coloured image is fabulous, wouldn't like to think what mine would be like if I didn't have the specs on!
Hugs, Avril xx

Three wonderful cards again, I don't know how you keep up the pace. It is lovely to see you finding a way to keep crafting despite your current sight issues. Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated xx
Hi Brenda
I absolutely love your Lavinia creation, Your compilation of stamps is perfect as always. That CI butterfly is gorgeous and the creation is fabulous. Love how you used the sponsor image.
Happy crafting

Hoping the new glasses will be a big help, but sure can't tell from these cards that you have any eye issues, Brenda! All beautiful, but the butterfly is my favorite!
