Morning Peeps so time for a new challenge at Allsorts, this week Kath would like us to use 'Any three colours of the Rainbow'. Our winner will receive a £15 store voucher from a new sponsor Pearlywinks who have their own range of beautiful stamps. Further down a couple of my shares from my post over at the CB blog here.
Before I move onto todays creations, a heads up that a new challenge is starting on 5th May. It will be monthly and run by Zoe who I've known for many years, she is looking for Design Team members who enjoy varying styles of craft which is reflected in the fab name River of Creativity. You can find out all about it here and even grab the badge to help spread the word.
Onto to my creations and rare for me no stamping other than inspirational quotes from my CB Life is so much Better set. I succumbed to some new stencils from Sweet Poppy a few weeks ago so gave them a good airing making a batch of cards for one of my DIL's who likes CAS cards. Both were inked with Oxides through the stencils, then once dried I replaced the stencil and applied a coat of translucent paste. The colours of the top one look more pink in my photo but it's Wilted Violet, Mustard Seed and Mowed Grass for Violet, Yellow and Green from the Rainbow.
Following exactly the same process but this time using Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Mowed Lawn, picking out Yellow, Orange and Green from the Rainbow.
And as promised my CB shares, all details over on the blog here.
As always, my appreciation for your visits and words of encouragement.

Loving your dreamy look achieved with the stencils. I have only used my Poppy stencils with paste and was only thinking the other day I should get them out!
Love how you fussy cut the roses for the edge of the card and the limited colour palette on your last card is just wonderful and makes the stamp look so different.
Stunning and super cards, always love your creations and colours are gorgeous. xx
Gorgeous set of cards, all so beautiful.
Happy weekend;-))m
The glossy paste looks beautiful on these colours. I have a few stencils I could use with this technique! Great CB makes too, Brend. x
Beautiful cards Brenda - I love the paste over the stencils, it adds just so much 'more' to the design. Stunning C.B. designs too
Stay safe
Blessings

Such beautiful cards as always Brenda, I'm loving the sweet poppy stencil cards especially. They look fabulous with the clear paste over them.
Sue xx
Brenda as always you've created some beautiful creations x
A beautiful selection of cards Brenda, gorgeous designs and colours. Your cards are always so inspirational, Kate x
A gorgeous gallery of cards as always Brenda but oh my goodness, being a CAS girl myself, I am bowled over by your beautiful stencilled and ink blended cards! The translucent paste is a nice touch. I've tried this look with clear embossing powder but the paste is perhaps smoother? Thanks for the exciting news about the River of Creativity! Vicky x
What a gorgeous selection of cards Brenda. You have some lovely floral stamps, and you've shown them all off beautifully.

All cards are gorgeous Brenda but those stencilled ones are amazing. Such beautiful colours!
Stunning cards Brenda. Sorry it's taken me a while, hard week. Hope the fur babies are all doing well. Hugs Anesha. x
Ciao Brenda, che bell'effetto ha la pasta trasparente sopra gli stencils! Devo provare questa tecnica. Le due card per CB sono così interessanti! Mi piace tantissimo quel bordo floreale nero per accompagnare Flora Musica, davvero un favoloso effetto!
I tuoi sentiments sono perfetti per ogni occasione, hai fatto davvero un bel lavoro con il tuo set!
Buon inizio di settimana. Qui fa caldo e c'è tanto da fare nell'orto.
Wow Brenda you certainly know how to do stencilling cards these are absolutely stunning x
Really pretty makes Brenda. xxx

Hi lovely B, these are absolutely stunning.
