Out of the silence........


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts and I am your host so it was inevitable there would be a botanical flavour to my theme my chosen theme of  'Christmas flowers, garlands and wreaths or just Christmas). This weeks lucky winner will receive a Bee Crafty stamp.

Today is also one of my posting days over at the Chocolate Baroque Blog so I have some shares from that post as well.

Starting with my top card a Penny Black Poinsettia stamped focally using Distress Markers direct to stamp and then a couple of second generation images. The sentiment is also PB, one I really like but it's quite large so needs a bold image to go with it. Finally some watered down gold paint flicked here and there and gold pen around the edges.


A Christmas wreath with lots of Chocolate Baroque worker stamps and Versafine Clair and a sentiment which I think is Inkylicious. And below my shares from my Chocolate Baroque blog post, all from last months Hochanda TV shows. full details of stamps used on that post.


Have a good weekend and hope you will join in with our challenge this week.

Wonderful cards Brenda - I love that sentiment on your first Christmas card - that is an amazing quote that sums up Christmas beautifully, and is a bit 'different'.
I hope your dogs are all well now
Stay safe
Blessings

What an amazing gallery this week Brenda!
It will seem like a very different Christmas for many this year but I think it's important not to be pressurised into doing anything you're not comfortable with. Take care, Vicky x

Sarah said...

What beauties these are Brenda, the message on the first is particularly apt and the dandelion clocks are gorgeous, much underrated, yet clever, flowers I always think xx

Oh Brenda, la prima card mi piace davvero tantissimo, sia per la tecnica con cui hai dipinto le Stelle di Natale (poinsettias)che per il meraviglioso sentiment! E quegli sprazzi d'oro sono assolutamente perfetti. Bellissima!
Le card per CB sono veramente luminose e artistiche, specialmente la prima con quele graffette sul lato che tengono i petali in posizione! Io non ci avrei mai pensato :) Colori e design sono stupendi

HilaryJane said...

Some of your best showcased this week. I love them all. I have seen that Penny Black stamp used several times recently and it lends itself so well to that loose stamping style, love the shadow effect and those splatters. Love the colours on you other cards particularly the pink and yellow ones xx

Mrs.B said...

Love the poinsettia card Brenda, a lovely image and verse.
A great use of the worker stamps in making that wreath card and the CB samples are lovely.
