Love is in the air


Morning Peeps (yes I've had the correct jab now!), our Tracy is this weeks host and her theme in the run up to Valentines Day is 'Love Is......' This weeks winner will receive a gorgeous Chocolate Baroque stamp, in fact Cracking Rose, one of my favourite CB floral stamps which I have used on my card below. A heads up that Lesley will be on Hochanda on Friday 12th with two shows and loads of inspiration.

I don't tend to make Valentines cards so I've gone with Roses which always have a touch of romance about them. The top is a triptych using a 'must have' die I saw a few weeks ago, I am rather partial to triptych cards and the pretty top of this one really appealed. All stamps are Chocolate Baroque, I've added links to them on the web site on the Allsorts challenge post.


This is the Chocolate Baroque stamp referred to above along with some of Clare's new Valentine papers which you can find in her Etsy store here. The sentiment is one of my own which will be available in rubber very soon!!

As promised here are my other Chocolate Baroque shares from the January Hochanda TV shows. Full details of all the new stamps I used can be found on the post here.


Have a good weekend, my thanks for your visit and kind comments. Stay safe and well and hopefully avoid the snow.

Una bellissima compilation, e il trittico è molto elegante con la tua nuova fustella per tags! Adoro la dolce card con la rosa colorata così bene e quella splendida carta a cuori, e il charm! E i tuoi esempi per i nuovi timbri di CB sono molto creativi, mi piacciono specialmente i toni freschi e luminosi della card con la libellula!
Buon weekend, io sono molto indaffarata con la scuola, è tempo di pagelle e burocrazia.

Beautiful cards Brenda, the trypitch die looks lovely and works so well with the stamps you used. Love the CB samples, unfortunately I didn't catch the show (or very much else these last few weeks)

Saturday's and Sundays cards are wonderful Brenda, I do wish I could ink and stamp like you, xxx

What a lovely batch of cards Brenda, lovely inspirational messages on them too, the final one being particularly apt at the moment. So pleased that you have had your vaccination now. Three Clinics in a week for us, yesterday was Extremely Clinically Vulnerable and we have two 70-74 Tuesday and Friday, as long as we don't get a dumping of snow that is. It does look unlikely but you never know!! xx

I love how you combined the rose with Pinksy papers - it looks amazing. So much inspiration as always, I also love the dragonfly such a different creation.
