Wish, Dream, Hope


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday which means a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Tracy would like to see 'Butterflies, Birds and Bees'. Our lucky winner will receive a £15 voucher from a new sponsor Helping Hands Crafts, do follow the link and pop over to their website.

I also have my shares from my post this week over at the Chocolate Baroque blog which you will find here.

As is often the case, my shares are more Chocolate Baroque creations for recent Hochanda shows, the Butterflies are from various sets, two are from Just Butterflies and afraid the other appears to have been miss-filed so I need to spend time finding which set it's from. The sentiment is from my Life is so much Better stamp set, I do seem to be rather over using these but I created them with positivity in mind, so using them was rather the whole purpose! There are some more in the pipeline.

This second one uses Song Thrush which comes in two versions, I have used the silhouette one. I stamped it in versafine black and embossed with Speckled Egg embossing enamel then a die cut frame in coordinating colours.


Time has caught up with me as I realise that as well as yesterday post here over at Chocolate Baroque I forgot to share my work from a few days ago so they are below as well along with appropriate link to that post.


And these three are on a different post found here along with full details.


Have a good weekend everyone and as always my thanks for your visits and words of encouragement which are always received with appreciation.

I'm in awe that you are so productive yet each card is special in its own right, Brenda! I'm particularly loving the first card with the mix of vintage look in the background and modern doodles frame. Gorgeous.

Ciao Brenda, quante meraviglie nel tuo post di oggi! La prima in particolare cattura la mia attenzione, è così vibrante con quelle tonalità di blu e viola sulla timbrata della cartolina vintage e il tuo stupendo sentiment! AAnche il doodling tutto attorno è perfetto per dare risalto alla composizione!
Mi piace molto l'abbinamento del frame azzurro con la silouette di Song Thrush e ho già ammirato le altre belle card per CB sul blog delle DT, la slimcard è eccezionale, ha un bellissimo effetto 3D e le farfalle sembrano volare davvero. Sei sempre un'ispirazione!
Qui piove, finalmente: era da prima di Natale che non succedeva, la terra ringrazia. Spero solo che la pioggia non scenda troppo forte: ormai sugli alberi ci sono già i piccoli frutti dei ciliegi, dei peschi e dei susini e abbondanti fiori su meli e peri. Dita incrociate.

Seven cards in one post, you have outdone yourself. They are all very different and all quite spectacular. I love the delicate detail in the last one and you shouldn't feel bad for using your own stamp set. Use it as much as you like, it is great xx

So much work Brenda! All beautiful cards, as always, my favourites are the first (lovely blue colour and perfect quote!) and the last one with that delicately stencilled background (Lavinia stencil perchance?).
I'm looking forward to next week's rules relaxation and I bet you are too! x

Vicky Hayes said...

Wonderful cards as always Brenda! I love the trio of jewelled butterflies on the postcard background and the doodled frame is very effective. I love your positive sentiments and don't think we can get enough positivity at the moment! Vicky x
