Morning Peeps another new challenge at Allsorts and Lynn's chosen theme is 'I love......' and there's the chance to win a £15 store voucher from Helping Hands Craft.
Like most of us our crafting loves change with the mood, seasons and new crafty goodies as they land on our desks, but I retain a love of inkyness, Autumnal colours and anything Nature relates, so Butterflies and Flowers are right up there. My tri-fold creation encompasses all of those using a plethora of Chocolate Baroque stamps and a favourite die which I think is from Studio Light.
Yesterday saw two Chocolate Baroque shows on The Craft Store and the DT tend to share a card or two on their SM platforms, but as I don't do FB, IG or any of them I am sharing a couple today on my blog........which I am reliably informed is not social media. But the larger format suits my visual impairment and I'm not about to make any rash deviations and receive so many lovely comments and visits here.
Some lovely new stamps were released on the shows, including some great number worker stamps, a beautiful image of a rather Hepburn'ish lady and beautiful leaves so perfect for Autumnal creations.
And still on Chocolate Baroque, here are a couple from my post over at the Chocolate Baroque Blog this week.
The top card using four Twinches stamped with the Dragonfly from Sacred and then triple embossed with UTEE. The second using Poinsettia Script stamped onto Vellum coloured with Alcohol Inks including some of the lush new mica and pearlescent ones and the Poinsettia stamped twice more and decoupaged.
Happy weekend all and my thanks for your continued support which is always so appreciated.

Stunning cards Brenda xx
Hi Brenda!
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Always equally appreciated. : D
Your cards are very beautiful. I especially love the blue card.
And the black card is really cool.
It is true that when the mood changes
it can be seen on our cards and other creations. Right now it's
after all, the colors of the cough everywhere.
Have a cozy weekend!

Colours of Autumn/Fall I mean of course! :o
very beautiful cards Brenda but I love the lady she is gorgeous and the last card with the poinsettia

What a lovely collection of cards. They are all fab, but I'm particularly drawn to the first one.
Have a good weekend.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Fantastic showcase of cards! I love the trifold with all that beautiful backgrounds making the main images pop but still making itself noticed from behind. I have to disagree with your reliable informant Blogging is a form of Social Media, it might not be as "instant" as Instagram or Twitter but just look at how it is used to communicate with like minded people and how many genuine friendships it has led to. Yesterday was none stop so missed all the CB shows (or any other shows for that matter) which was probably a good thing as I might just have overspent a little in the last couple of months. However the stamps you used do look yummy so maybe just maybe in the near future. ........ xoxo
These are all stunning cards Brenda, but I will confess to loving the gorgeous card at the bottom with the lovely Poinsettia script stamped in white on the blue. I bought this stamp when it first came out many years ago and it is still a favourite now. Not tried making a card in blue with it before though.

All your cards are stunning Brenda .. love the pretty autumn colours and layout of your Allsorts card, and the CB cards are all amazing! As someone new to Distress inks I feel inspired by your backgrounds, though I am determined not to fall into a money pit of inks, stains, sprays etc .. we’ll see!!����
Wow brenda, such diversity herein your fabulous cards. they are all so nice but I a really drawn to the last one, the blue one with that fabulous poinsettia. xx
Beautiful collection of inkyness Brenda, the warm, Autumnal colours are a favourite of mine also.

A stunning selection of beautifully designed cards today, a lovely variety of stamps, styles and colours. It's a great challenge theme this week too.

All beautiful cards Brenda, but my utmost favourite is the bottom one, the blues and the flower are stunning! Have a good weekend, although a very wet day here today x
These are all works of art Brenda, and I definitely can see many things you love in each one of these. My favorite this time is the poinsettia card, what gorgeous shades of blue!
Wow what a treat! Great colours and great techniques! Think you had fun making these... Favorite image is the new "woman" from CB, but favorite from all makes is the trifold; that is a stunning one! Enjoy the weekend!
Beautiful cards Brenda!
Really wonderful cards Brenda. I love them all. Anesha x
I am always impressed by your cards, such a gallery. Your trifolds are always special and such a beautiful black card.
I love all the seasons so I enjoy the inspiration from changing seasons. And I use all the variety of my crafty supplies. Almost.
Crafty hugs xx
Gorgeous cards Brenda, loving the tri fold, xxx
First off social media is any content that is used to create and share and allow interaction - e.g. blogging! so not sure what they are teaching these days but to me that still stands.
Just love the autumnal card so very beautiful and so much work you've put into it. The "new" lady looks good on your black base and I love the riot of colour particularly on the last card.

What beautiful cards Brenda, autumnal shades appeal to me very much but that amazing purple tiled effect gets the gold star today!! Hope you are doing okay xx
Your triple fold card is beautiful and your samples are stunning. My favourite is the blue poinsettia. What a loss if you were not blogging. It definitely is a social medium although I have noticed that a lot of people have abandoned it since I returned after a long absence owing to health. Looking forward to more of your lovely creations. Vee xx
Great cards, as always. I am going to have to watch the shows from yesterday in order to see the new stamps properly. I particularly love your last 2 cards, such vibrant colours and wonderful texture xx
As ever Brenda you work is exquisite, with great attention to detail - I do admire how you do it all!
Stay safe
Blessings
