Morning Peeps, time for this weeks Allsorts challenge where Mervi would like to see 'Anything Goes with a Vintage option'. Ruth Hamilton Design is offering three images from her store and there is also a lovely Indigo Blu stamp up for grabs.
Two cards above using the same Poinsettia stamp, an inky background using Tea Dye Oxide spray, stamped the image onto card coloured with Oxides and Mica Spray, cut out and paper pieced, some lace to one and a seam binding bow to the other. This was a card for The Craft Store TV.
Not totally sure this one fits the Vintage theme so I will dedicate this one to the Anything Goes option. Oxides for the background, some stamping using the same colour inks and worker stamps, a sentiment from my own stamp set and Irises from our sponsor Ruth. I printed the Iris's onto a sheet of card which I coloured with the same colour Oxides, cut them out and placed into a couple of die cut circles. As many know I don't enter challenges, dodgy eyes and linking issues, but it was suggested the above card would fit the 5th Birthday challenge of The Flower Challenge which asks for flowers and shapes, so Irises and circles seem to be apropriate.
Had to share these fabulous cobwebs which were laced along the posts around the decking leading from one of the French Windows at the back of the house. It was a misty morning which lent itself to showcasing the spiders intricate workings.

Gorgeous Brenda, as you know I adore poinsettias. Love the cobweb, remember the one I shared a while ago around the lamp in the park?
ReplyDeleteI have now added Ruth's digi card to my blog, I forgot last night. Xxx
Fabulous cards brenda. I like the traditional poinsettias against the script background but equally I love the vibrant colouring of your iris. Cobwebs?...spiders!!...shudder...lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inspiration cards Brenda, the poinsettia ones definitely fit the vintage theme and the colours of the second are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose cobwebs are fantastic- I love when they're beaded with moisture like that- they look as if they have tiny jewels hanging from them, totally magical. It's a wonderful photo!

Three wonderful card, I love the colours in the third one. Great photo of the cobwebs. Be strong and safe. Hugs Anesha x
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Brenda .. the poinsettia cards are so gorgeously traditional, and I love the fab purple shades and use of die cuts on your irises card. Amazing cobweb, though I’m a total atachnophobe .. spiders make me shudder😳

Those poinsettia cards are gorgeous Brenda and look vintage enough to me!! Your cobwebs are stunning, we have had a few lacy gates on misty mornings but not so beautiful as these!! The lane was a raging river on Wednesday night so much so that the potholes made by the maize trailers were filled in with chipping and grave that had washed out of the gateways, I do so hope we aren't in for a wet winter!! xx
ReplyDeleteGoodness Brenda, I expected a Halloween themed card reading the cobweb reference (although I think I remember you don't really do Halloween cards). These cobwebs are gorgeous, as much as I dislike spiders they are such fascinating creatures and these webs are some true works of art!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautifully done, the addition of lace is so perfect for your vintage themed poinsettias!
The flowercards are beauties! I so enjoy coming here and see such great work!
ReplyDeleteBut...what nature makes and you captured so well in the photo is super! Enjoy the weekend!
Brilliant traditional poinsettia cards. Loving the vibrant Iris card.
ReplyDeleteFabulous autumnal picture of the spider's handiwork!

ReplyDeleteThose Irises are simply stunning, brilliant framing and background too. I am so pleased you have entered a challenge with it too. This card deserves to be spread around a bit. The Poinsettias are lovely too, nic and traditional xx
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, all of your cards are absolutely gorgeous, especially the poinsettias cards, all have super colours and designs.
ReplyDeleteCobwebs are amazing, works of art. I wonder if that was a large spider who made that one .🤔💖

Your cards are all beautiful Brenda but the iris card made my jaw drop - I must bookmark that colour combination and oh what stunning irises they are! Lovely to see the cobwebs showcased in the mornings at this time of year. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteCiao Brenda, grazie per le tue sempre gentili parole.
ReplyDeleteLe tue card vintage con le Stelle di Natale (così chiamiamo in Italia le poinsettias) sono deliziose, e ci hai messo anche le piccole perline nel centro che aggiungono dimensione al paper piecing!
La card luminosa e vibrante con gli Iris e i cerchi è stupenda e così femminile! Bellissimo il sentiment! :)
Sono molto impressionata dall'enorme ragnatela nel tuo giardino!! Che spettacolo!! Wow! La natura è sempre una sorpresa, non è vero?
Un abbraccio
Beautiful cards, Brenda--especially love the poinsettias! Those cobwebs are truly amazing!

ReplyDeleteSure, it's absolutely beautiful, a real craft, but I myself would think it would be nasty with all the spiders. But they actually have as much right to be here as we do.
