Morning everyone, time for another challenge at Allsorts where Lolo has selected the theme of 'Favourite stamps and dies'. This weeks prizes comes from Oakwood Archer.For the above card which was for a Stampendous Create and Craft TV show I have used Fran's
Painted Lady available in the UK from
Oakwood. I wanted to create a soft ethereal feel so for the background used a piece of patterned rice paper sprayed with Oxides, then stamped and heat embossed the image with detail white EP and added just a little colour with Distress markers.
A second share also for a recent TV show using
Stampendous Geranium Pitcher, I kept it fairly simple, stamping with Versafine Clair and coloured with Oakwoods brand new sparkle pens. At the moment they are only available from Create and Craft here but for sixteen pens great value at £34.84 (or £31.36 if you are a club member, that's £1.96 per pen, almost half the price of some other brands). The frame and circles are all part of a set from Carnation Crafts, the main frame is a really good size, the card above is an 8x8.
Thanks so much your your visits and hope everyone has a good weekend.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Painted Lady card of course, with that touch of grunge! x
ReplyDeleteThe Painted Lady card looks so delicate in those beautiful colours, the geranium card is a beauty in vibrant purple/lilac tones
ReplyDelete2 beautiful cards again today Brenda. I particularly love the painted lady … the sprayed background is stunning and the white embossed stamping looks so perfect with it.

Sei riuscita perfettamente a creare un look davvero etereo e delicato per quella farfalla sul fore, Brenda! Un sogno!! La timbrata direttamente sul bellissimo sfondo rende davvero moltissimo l'effetto etereo! Colori bellissimi!
ReplyDeleteNella seconda card il frame di Carnation Craft delimita l'immagine in modo delizioso. Non conoscevo questo brand di fustelle prima di vederle sulle card di Anesha e devo dire che sono davvero belle. Gli uccellini e l'innaffiatoio con i fiori sono dolcissimi e li hai colorati così bene!!Sono sicura che il luccichio è ancora più bello nella realtà.
Ti auguro un buon weekend, qui oggi è spuntato qualche raggio di sole, ma hanno già detto che non durerà e ci aspetta ancora una settimana di pioggia...

ReplyDeleteTwo beautifully done cards Brenda, great details and I am especially loving the inky-ness on the first. But how sweet is the little watering can scene with the birds and bees, and the blue Geranium looks gorgeous!
