New stamps, old stamps


Morning everyone, before I share my cards for our mid month inspiration posts at We Love Chocolate Baroque and Stamping Sensations, I would like to thank you all for your kind comments and mailed messages following the loss of our Gorgeous George, you're very kind.


Details of stamps and images used can be found on the respective blogs, but very briefly my top card uses one of the new Chocolate Baroque stamps stamps released on Hochanda last week called Canary Bird Rose whilst the above one uses some really old but still current stamps from Stamp Addicts called Hunting Gent. Like it or not, the image is one that is part of life when you are raised on a farm and every time I use it I think the Gent could be my Dad......with the exception of the Spaniel as he always had Labs.


And this is one of Dora's images, yep another attempt at colouring for me.

Have a good Sunday.

I like the Hunting gent and its multi-coloured frame. He does remind me also of the hunters I saw growing up in the countryside! Lovely cards, Brenda! x

Blogger si è mangiato il mio commento. Server error 500 :(
Lo scrivo di nuovo, sperando che stavolta mi faccia passare.
Immagino quanti ricordi suscita in te quel timbro del cacciatore. La ghirlanda di foglie con la tecnica del timbro spruzzato di acqua che mi piace tanto è bellissima!
La prima card così vibrante nei suoi colori fa davvero emergere la bella rosa selvatica e la tua coloritura nella terza card è fatta molto bene!
Ti mando un forte abbraccio

I love the Canary Rose, very pretty, Hunting may not be a thing now Brenda but you can't wipe history and it was a way for people to get food. Fabulous cards.

I hope the Gorgeous George shaped hole in your household is getting easier to bear Brenda x What lovely cards these are, I particularly like the Hunting Gent, very seasonal with lovely colours. Martin used to shoot a lot when we were first married and we had a lovely spaniel pup (whose Dad was FT Champion many times over) that turned out to be gun shy and became a house dog!! xx

Beautiful cards are usual.

Mrs A. said...

So sorry to hear of your loss.they always leave such large paw prints on our hearts. I do like your second card. It reminds me of a photo I have of my great great grandfather stood outside the door of the public house he ran in Somerset, shot gun in hand and faithful dog by his side. Managed to get an Ocada shop today with only one substitute which I declined. Hugs Mrs A.

Greta said...

Beautiful cards, Brenda! I really love the flower on your first card!

Vicky Hayes said...

Your cards are beautiful Brenda, as always. The background on the first showcases the flower beautifully; the leafy wreath effect on the second is a fabulous touch; and the colouring on the third is very pretty. Have been thinking of you - hope you are soldiering on. Vicky x
