It's the first Sunday of the month so time for our new challenges at We Love Chocolate Baroque and Stamping Sensations. Our themes for this month are 'Bright Sunny Colours' and 'Beautiful Blooms'. Prizes at both will be the winners choices of stamps from Chocolate Baroque
There seems to be rather a a lot of colour going on in this post, but crafting with bold and vivid palettes does make me happy! For the top card I brayered Dylusions paint onto textured card to achieve a more rustic finish. Next I stamped Canary Bird Rose focally, and heat embossed with detail clear EP as I find ink takes forever to dry on this paint. Then stamped a second time and coloured with the same Dylusions and paper pieced. Some numbers from Just Useful and Ace Card and sentiment from Life is so much Better.
After stencilling a background I repeat stamped using masking as I worked my way up using one of the blooms from Fresh Florals to create a spray of flowers, then coloured with sparkle pens. The harlequins in the background are from Decorative Edges stamped with Versavfine Clair and sentiment again from Life is so much Better.
On this one again an inked and stencilled background then stamped and coloured, stamped a second time and paper pieced. Two die cut circles to highlight the blooms the script worker stamp from Ace Card, it's one I seem to use over again again, and the single word from Sow the Seeds.
Finally, a bit of mixed media with an inky background stamping onto that and the chipboard shapes with worker stamps from Just Useful, Life is so much Better , Edgy Edges, Small Graph Paper, the the focal Butterfly is from Tangled Garden, sentiment again from Life is so much Better.......theres another set in the pipeline which I just might give some sneak peeks of soon.
Yesterday I shared some photos of Rosa, our new family member who is eight weeks old, she's forever on the move and I'm yet to get a decent front on photo of her. She loves the garden and here she is, smallest in the pack but clearly thinks she's as big as the rest.
Such has been the week with our new Little Miss moving in that I forgot to share my cards from my post over at the Chocolate Baroque blog this week, so here they are, full details on my post here:
I do hope you will join us this month.

Gorgeous cards, all with stunning floral stamps!
A hug to sweet Rosa puppy;-))m
The bright colours are fabulous, Brenda! We need them to lift our spirits after the year we had! Your first card is my favourite, along with the photo of a pensive Rosa... Love the Mixed Media too, for its layers of stamping and details. x
Wow! I love those bright colours Brenda. Such a cute wee dog too

A stunning collection of cards Brenda, I love the hot colours used in the top card especially. Gorgeous photos of your new addition joining in the fun with the older dogs.

Adoro anche io i colori vividi e brillanti, tirano su il morale!!! :D
Stupende interpretazioni dei temi dei challenge! Canary Rose è stupenda con il giallo e il rosso e la texture della carta accentua le sue belle forme! Bellissime anche la card in giallo e viola e gli splendidi papaveri con quei cerchi che li fanno davvero uscire fuori!
I tuoi sentiments sono perfetti e molto motivanti, sono contenta che Leslie li abbia fatti in rubber! La card con il cuore effetto legno e la farfalla è molto di ispirazione per me, ho molti cerchi e cuori già pronti, devo provare ad usarli su uno sfondo timbrato "random"...
Bellissime pure le cards per il DT blog di CB, le ho ammirate qualche giorno fa e il trittico è il mio preferito!
Ed ora la tua famiglia canina... Ero molto curiosa di vedere come si sarebbero comportate le ragazze con Rosa e vedo con piacere che l'hanno subito accettata! :) Rosa è davvero dolcissima e fotogenica con quel bel collarino rosa! :D
Un abbraccio, sono contenta di vedere un po' di sole nel tuo giardino! Qui oggi non piove ma il tempo è ancora nuvoloso... Speriamo che torni il sereno!
Some wonderful cards here Brenda and love the new family member, xx

Goodness, what wonderful cards Brenda but especially that first one with those glorious colours! Your photos of Rosa with the rest of the dogs make me so happy. She will be learning so much and I bet she is as happy as a little sand girl! Vicky x
wow fab post - so much to see. The first card is just a wonderful riot of glorious colour, loving the purple with the lemon too. Love the triptych card absolutely beautiful. And of course the cutest Puppy Rosa who looks so sweet.
Beautiful cards Brenda. That first one just jumped right out at me with those colours. OMG how cute is Rosa! Our dog is so old now it's hard to believe he was ever a pup! Enjoy your new family member.
WOW Brenda your selection of cards are full of colour, beauty and delight I am in awe of your colouring and stencilling techniques, I have built up quite a few stencils but I am still unsure how to use them, with looking after mum and my brother I don't have too much time to watch all the videos but I know I will pluck up the courage to use them one day, lol. Oh Brenda not only have your cards brought me so much joy your photos of the dogs have brought me heavenly joy, Rosa looks so at home with the others,
hugs
