Going round in Circles


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts, our host this week is Kath who is sending us 'Round in Circles'. We have a Bee Crafty stamp for this weeks winner. Please also read my footnote at the bottom about an upcoming craft giveaway!

My blue and yellow creation was one of my samples for this months Chocolate Baroque Hochanda shows, the three new stamp sets all featured around Vintage clocks intertwined with Flowers and one with Strooms. The background is Brushos overstamoed with a couple of the smaller worker stamps, Parsley Clock stamped in Versafine black, a strip of white card and die cut circle. I stamped the Parsley again and cut out which was a real labour of love, coloured and placed over the circle. The sentiment is from Floral Clock and to embellish a small metal clock hand.



This one is a fairly simple creation, a die cut circle base card, Oxides and some music stamping with a Penny Black stamp, the sentiment is Inkylicious, the Butterfly another PB stamp and Heartfelt Flowers.

Each week in September there will be a prize giveaway here........or you can click on the photo and it will take you to the challenge blog. Please share the above photo on your own blog and keep an eye out to see what you can win each Tuesday in September.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Gorgeous samples, Brenda and yes, that cutting out was definitely a labour of love and one I really wouldn't have the patience, or the dexterity, for. Well done, you. I love circles and dots, so this really appeals to me.
Must admit, I really love the second card. It's stunning and uses a stamp I've had for a long time and always loved. Beautifully designed.
Sorry I've not been around much - keyboard and back problems - but I'm going to try to blog and visit more often, at least just for now ;-)
Hope you're well.

Your first card absolutely blew me away so intricate and beautifully constructed it is wonderful, can you hear me shouting from the roof tops? Seems our Bank holiday will not be a wash out which leaves me without an excuse for not doing the garden so best get out there. Stay safe, Keep well & Have Fun x

Linby said...

Love the colours on the first one, such a pretty design. Your second card is also very lovely and such cheerful colours and fab sentiment.

Gerrina said...

Both so beautiful; the round one looks like a sun and warms the moment, but the first is my favorite; so delicate and original! Hugs, Gerrina

Loving the style of your first card, it's gorgeous and how patient to do that fussy cutting, but really makes the card, and the second is a really pretty circle card.
Happy crafting

Greta said...

Oh what a beautifully artistic first card, Brenda! The circle card is lovely!

Alice (scrAPpamondo) said...

Ciao Brenda, che stupende creazioni!!! Queste due interpretazioni di "cerchi" sono strabilianti!! Amo entrambi i sentiments, così veri, specialmente in questo strano periodo... La prima card è molto artistica, che incredibile gioco di prospettive e di colori!!! E la seconda è così dolce con i colori caldi e i fiori di Heartfelt! Un design semplice ma molto d'effetto!
Un abbraccio, spero che tutto sia ok lì da te.
