Window to your Soul



Before I move on can I talk about DT's and challenges.......we have DT spaces due to changes in personal circumstances so if you are interested in joining a team please drop me a mail........even if you think you are not up to it you probably are, so lets chat about it. Previous DT experience not necessary and if you are unsure you could try a month or two and see how it goes, we're a flexible and friendly bunch 😊

Now onto Stamping Sensations and to start with I had better give an explanation of why the September challenge is popping up on a Thursday. Well......at the weekend the August linky went walkabouts and despite all best efforts by us and Inlinkz it was not recoverable. You could say technology gone mad, but it put us in an awkward position as first nobody else could enter and of course with no entries visible we were unable to select our Top 4 and winner.

So the decision was made to start the September challenge a few days early and as well as the planned £25 Stamp Addicts voucher we are adding a couple of extra prizes as well. 

Explanations out of the way, my first share uses new stamps from Stamp Addicts. The official launch on Create and Craft TV is not until October but Sarah has them available on her web site now, I have used Window to your Soul 1 and 2 and Believe, the latter being from one of my own new releases of inspirational quotes, the sets contain a mixture of new and re-styled ones.

The background was created with the Gelli Plate, acrylic paints plus a smidgen of Oxides here and there and a Lavinia stencil. The Butterfly stamped centrally and two eyes and lips two of the images from Window to your Soul.


This is another of my Stamp Addict samples, this one uses Moments (also one of my new stamp sets)Believe, Flower Stencil and Window to your Soul 1 and 2. I cute the three panel triptych die three times to extend the concertina to seven panels, sprayed Oxides onto the top panels and used a mixture of stamping and sparkle paste to create the sections.

I hope you will join us this month.

Two beautifully done cards Brenda, I am loving the inking on both and such unique and beautiful stamps.

Sorry there was an inlinkz issue, must have been so frustrating for you all!! Great idea to start the new challenge early to make it up to everyone!

Wow Brenda, il tuo sentiment è davvero un perfetto abbinamento con il mix di timbri di Stamps Addicts, la tua card è così artistica e immaginativa!! Davvero hai dipinto un'opera d'arte e il giallo con il viola stanno così bene insieme!!
Anche la seconda card con i trittici uniti è molto artistica e unica!!
Spero che tutto vada bene per te. Qui finalmente ha piovuto un pochino, la siccità iniziava ad essere davvero preoccupante :)
Un abbraccio

So sorry to hear about the difficulties at SS this month. Your first card is truly special, what a fantastic background. Hope the SS linky behaves itself this month xx

Wonderful makes Brenda. The symmetry on the first appeals to my sense of order and I love the fab shape of those tags on the panel card. I have one of your Christmas message sets on they way...I couldn't resist!! xx
