Good morning, I hope everyone is safe and well. We are mid way through our current challenge at Allsorts with out Anything Goes theme so I thought I would share another creation with you as............yeah.........I got inky this week!! So for the first time in absolute weeks I have a brand new make, not to everyones taste but it made me happy.
All the stamps are Chocolate Baroque which have featured on recent Hochanda shows, I love the ability to just stamp them randomly and still come out with something that is pleasing to the eye - well my eye anyhow. The Butterfly was stamped onto acetate and as you can see I just used half of it raising it with some gel. Background Distress Oxides, Versafine Clair for the sentiment and circles and Stayzon for the Butterfly.
And a few more photos from my garden wanderings.............
Viburnum Opulus Roseum and two yellow posers

Hurrah! *throws hat in the air* So happy you were able to get inky again Brenda! I like the collage styling and the butterfly is a stunning focal point. Thanks for letting us wander through your garden with you. That IS an early foxglove isn't - I just cannot grow these for some reason. All the flowers looking gorgeous, not to mention your little yellow friends 'looking at you with their noses'! Here's to more crafting! Vicky x
Your ceanothus tree is amazing B! (oh and the card ain't bad either....!!!) xx
It is my taste, love it Brenda.
Love the plants, I used to have a massive Ceanothus when I lived in a cottage in the country, loved my garden in those days long gone, xxx
This is a striking colour scheme Brenda and lovely to hear that you have been enjoying yourself. Beautiful photos of your garden too.

I've seen a lot of that purple-blue flowering tree lately and suspected it may be a form of Ceanothus - it's so beautiful. Thanks for confirming that :-) Love all your 'garden' flowers...
...but oh your inky piece is gorgeous. It looks free flowing and very inky and lots and lots of fun! I've been using those two colours, too, strangely - in fact, I took a photo of the sheets of card I ended up with because they were gorgeous. SO pleased for you but most of all because you ENJOYED it, which is the most important thing. I hope it did you good ;-) Yay for you and long may it continue!
