Good morning Peeps, a quick post with my mid month shares for Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More challenges and also my entry into the current Butterfly Challenge.
For my PB creation I used a page from an charity shop poetry book, dabbed it into some water DI's to age it a bit and then repeat stamped Penny Black Magnolia Rhapsody using Distress Markers direct to stamp and placed into a die cut frame.
The Butterfly challenge had reached the letter Z so there are some unusual colours, Zenchua (light purple), Zinwaldite (flesh tones) Zinc (blush silver), Zebra stripes, Z fold and of course a Butterfly. I used shimmer and matt acrylic paints to create the zebra stripe base pane, smearing dabs of the three colours of paint down the base later using an old credit card, there was a residue of paint sitting on the card so I used that to created a circle effect on the top panel. The Butterfly is Chocolate Baroque stamped twice onto vellum and heat embossed with white EP and the sentiments is also CB.
My Stamping Sensations piece has a spotty stencilled base panel and I stamped a few of the tiny horses from the Visible Image set into the larger circles. The focal circle was created on the Gelli Plate with Oxides and Brushos and the large horse and sentiment are from the same VI set.

Three wonderful cards Brenda. Just adore the background on the third one. Have a good day and stay dry. x
Wonderful makes, Brenda. I especially love the soft colours of your butterfly card and how you have used your left-over paint to create your circle. Over here, summer is in full swing, making me thankful for the A/C in my home office.
Stay safe!

Wonderful cards Brenda but, of course, the horses grabbed my attention immediately!! Had a bit of a blip with Wills this week, rode out with a friend who did ride and lead which he took exception to. Passage in the lane was a bit unnerving so I hand walked him until he settled!! xx
Gorgeous cards Brenda love the stamping onto a book page,great effect on the butterfly background and love the colourful horse one
