Lets play I spy


Morning Peeps, Saturday again and this weeks Allsorts theme as selected by Ellie is 'I spy something beginning with B'. Our prizes this week is are a £15 store voucher from Pearlywinks and craft stencils.

My B's come in the form of Brown, Bird and Badger, all stamps are AALL and Create Clocks and Flowers, Wire Birds and Scripted Botanicals

A very technically created base card.......an extra large dinner plate, craft knife and score board!! Oxide ink and all stamping done with Versafine Clair Acorn, no real colouring just some shading added with inks and blending brush and some white highlight to the badger and posca white flicks to finish.


And a second card using Two Red Robins Everlasting die from A mothers Love collection, I love the colours of the Reflection sheets for this one, I arranged two of of the floral sprays onto an embossed panel and added a coordinating bow.


It's been ages since I joined in with the Butterfly Challenge, or any come to that, but I was intrigued by the current Floating Strip card so chopped up a piece of my acetate which was already coloured with alcohol ink (Fuchsia and Fawn being two of the named colours) and this is what I came up with. The Butterfly of course with the added option of Flowers and colours Fuchsia, Fawn, Flame and Flax, so I reckon I ticked all seven boxes, but I am sure Mrs A will check that out.


Here's a couple more of my samples from the new release from Highlight Crafts and Create and Craft TV.


Have a good weekend and thanks for your visit.

Had a little chuckle about the 'very technical' first card and the use of your large dinner plate....what a good idea. I like how you incorporated the 'B' too with the badger x. The next two cards are vibrant and so very pretty and well done you checking all seven boxes for the butterfly challenge x. The last two cards are fabulous with wonderful scene making x.

Lots of wonderful creations, Brenda. Such a great idea to use a large dinner plate for a different card shape and it turned into such a beauty with all those "B's" included! Gorgeous samples using your TRR products and fabulous make for the Butterfly challenge too!

Dena J said...

Who knew an extra large dinner plate could do more than hold a roast beef Sunday lunch!! What a great idea Brenda!! Lovely cards as always I am particularly drawn to those beautiful sprays with the embossed trellis, gorgeous xx

Chris said...

As always a lovely selection of cards using a variety of different techniques and skills (some of them- the dinner-plate- very advanced :)- it does make a great shape though! The floating strip card is vibrant and beautiful-it must tick all of Mrs A's boxes.

Another brilliant selection of cards Brenda. The dinner plate card is so clever and beautifully composed, the floral panel is very pretty, and the acetate card is really original and clever - love it! Your other counntry scenes are also very tranquil and soothing - reminds us all that summer days are coming !!

Hai creato un trittico molto bello semplicemente con il tuo piatto e due pieghe Brenda, a volte tutte le nostre fustelle non valgono quanto l'arte di arrangiarsi, vero? :) Bella la colorazione tono su tono e quella B dorata sull'uccellino è un altro bel dettaglio!
La seconda e la terza card sono le mie preferite, la seconda ha un'eleganza e una dolcezza incredibili, splendidi colori e meravigliosi fiori!!! Quel fiocco di organza e il pannello embossato li fanno davvero risaltare! La terza card per il Butterfly challenge è strepitosa con i suoi colori vibranti, lo sfondo ad alcohol inks è davvero stupendo e adoro il vellum strappato!!
Le scene campestri per Create and Craft sono molto belle, e le mucche mi hanno sorpreso, qui da me non ci sono così pelose, non fa abbastanza freddo :)
Questa settimana è stata molto nuvolosa con qualche pioggia, ma stasera e domani sono previsti forti temporali, speriamo solo che non grandini!!
Buon weekend!

Another wonderful collection of cards, Brenda. All so different, but equally beautiful. I love the effect of the alcohol on the acetate, thank for the inspiration to give this technique a try. xx

Greta said...
