Morning Peeps, it's mid month inspiration day at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Anything Stamped at both with a Birds and Animals (real) at the first and a CAS option at the second. Prizes this month come from AALL and Create with three prizes on offer and Craft Stash with two prizes.
Several more cards hauled from my folders, the beauty of new goodies from companies I design for is that I tend to have a making frenzy when they land on my desk to get to properly know them and to meet TV deadlines. This means I invariably have a good backup of makes for when I'm going through a lean crafty patch, as had been the case the last few weeks.
Above using A&C Flower Moments, it's one of their border stamps but useful for lots of applications other than tall DL cards. A Gelli Plate circle with some inky splatters, the flower stamped and coloured and a couple of words from Power of the Word. Plus a matching envie. I would like to enter this into the current Path of Positivity challenge which has a slant on Literature, my chosen book is Alice Walker's The Colour Purple.
Here we have a simple card with a masked and inked panel and stamping using A&C Heron, who was stamped a second time, cut out and placed over the panel. The words are from the same set.
I also have a second entry for The Flower Challenge which this month is focusing on background stamping to go with your flowers. The Peony is from Friendship Florals paper pieced using some inky card stamped and cut out, Birdies from the same set and in the background I have used Reckoner Digits and Patches plus some pieces of washi tape. This is also being entered into Country View Wings challenge, my second entry.
And this one is for Simon Say's Wednesday challenge focusing on shaped cards. The blooms are from A&C Just Grow stamped onto a circle, matted and layered onto a die cut circle base card and TRR Ivy and Blossoms around the edges. Again a matching envie.
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone and as always many thanks for your kind visits and words of encouragement.

A lovely selection of stamped images made into beautiful cards. Hope you are still making progress.
Your first card is very inspiring and makes me want to create right now! Love the inkiness as always but the last card is so very pretty with that fab border.
A beautiful selection of cards Brenda with fab images and lots of beautiful inky techniques

Che stupenda selezione di cards Brenda, e menomale che sei sempre molto produttiva e così le avevi già da parte!! Spero che tu possa tornare presto a creare con i tuoi consueti ritmi...!
Adoro il viola con il verde e la tua CAS è davvero interessante con il cerchio e gli splatters!
La seconda è delicata e luminosa, mi viene in mente una splendida mattina vicino ad un corso d'acqua e l'airone è bellissimo. Ne abbiamo sempre avuti qui, ma quest'anno con la siccità temo che troveranno altri posti per passare l'estate.
Bellissima la terza card, di nuovo una palette che amo, peonie stupende e quegli uccellini sono un'aggiunta perfetta. Adoro lo sfondo!
L'ultima è la mia preferita! :D Come puoi immaginare ho subito riconosciuto la ghirlanda di fiori ed edera by TRR, che meraviglia!!! Incornicia perfettamente i delicati fiori stampati e dà una dimensione strepitosa alla card circolare!! Appena potrò voglio acquistare altre fustelle TRR, me ne sono davvero innamorata e l'edera è già nella mia lunghissima wishlist :D
Qui al momento c'è il sole e fa già caldo, abbiamo quasi 20°, ma per domani è prevista pioggia. Anche se adoro il sole io spero che qui piova... abbiamo un disperato bisogno di acqua prima che scoppi il terribile caldo estivo.
Auguro invece a te una bella settimana soleggiata per goderti il tuo incredibile paradiso naturale!
Abbracci!
A delightful quartet of cards Brenda, I do love your style, especially all your backgrounds - and how wonderful to have a stash like that on hand for your down times. I seem to always be "running close" with deadlines... I have tried to get ahead, but then life...
Blessings

Your cards are always amazing, I don't think I have ever seen a bad card on your blog. I am glad that you have prolific times to tide you over the more lean crafting times. Hope things improve for you soon xx
Such a beautiful card with the purple blooms and that gorgeous background! I've not ready The Colour Purple, but the summary is fascinating. Looks like a book I would find empowering! Thanks for sharing the book and art with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katrina

Great flowers on all three cards. Love how you used simple framing on the first card to keep it CAS. That fourth card is amazing! Great shape and stunning flowers.
A gorgeous selection of cards Brenda, but my favourite is the first, love the purple flower against the green circle.
