Morning everyone, time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Lorraine has chosen one of my favourite themes Spring. Prizes which come from AALL and Create and Aldridge Crafts will be drawn on 29th March.
A delicate single Snowdrop using AALL and Creates Elegant Spring Florals (623), an A4 stamp set which has every flower you need to create beautiful Spring cards. I masked to created a soft central frame with Twisting and Turning (157) stencil and Oxides, stamped the Snowdrop, added a little shading, a sentiment stamped onto vellum, twine and a birdie.
Above Daffodils from Highlights on an acetate twisted easel card. They are another in the series of Flower of the Month, samples are usually required well in advance and these made in December, but were the last batch created for them. I did however venture into MCS this week and found I was able to do a bit of creating one handed with just a bit of nudged assistance from the left.
And, a freestanding acetate creation with Wordsworth's Daffodils poem focally and again Daffodils in various colourways.
In case you missed my last post there is a new discount code for Highlight Crafts, it's proved popular and on the sidebar (BLOG7582).
All going to plan will be in London this weekend to see Just for one Day with youngest son and wife so will stay with them. We went to Live Aid back in the day so really wanted to see this, it's only running for six weeks and I was nearly 5,000th in the queue the day tickets went on sale, four hours later felt lucky to get tickets front row of the dress circle with bubbles included as they are charity seats.
A beautiful selection of Spring florals - so pleased to hear you can manage some crafting 'cos it's great therapy when you can lose yourself in making something creative. Enjoy your London trip

Ciao Brenda,
ReplyDeletesono contenta di leggere che con MCS riesci a creare qualcosa con una mano sola, in attesa dell'intervento!!
La card con il bucaneve è delicata e mi piace molto l'effetto di quel filo con l'uccellino e il vellum. Sei sempre fonte di ispirazione!
Le card con i nuovi fiori primaverili di TRR sono spettacolari, voglio provare ad usare l'acetato, adoro l'effetto trasparenza e ho molte confezioni vuote di fustelle in acetato nelle mie scatole! La easel card è così delicata e allegra con i narcisi e quel bellissimo frame che mi ricorda una collana di perle, e la splendida farfalla!
E la card freestanding con il poema e i narcisi a decoupage ha un favoloso look 3D! Wow!
Sono contenta che avete trovato un posto per il concerto Just for One Day con Alex e sua moglie! Ti farà bene goderti un po' la vita, tira su il morale!!!
Un abbraccio!
Enjoy your trip to London Brenda . . . you certainly deserve it.
ReplyDeleteYour cards really have the WOW factor today, not to mention the promise of Spring. Loving the shaped cards with acetate.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

I must be living under a rock, because I'm just now learning that snowdrops are flowers. They're beautiful and I like the single bloom on the first card as well as those life-like daffodils on acetate! The flowers are so beautiful with color and the butterfly accent is gorgeous too. You even made a very pretty 3rd card so congrats on all these wonderful creations! I hope you have a fun trip to London too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Spring cards,love the beautiful snowdrops and daffodils,enjoy your trip to London and the show.

ReplyDeleteSnowdrops and daffs, real spring that is, although my daffs have taken a right old battering from the pesky rain!! That said, we have had blue sky and sunshine today after a very cold start. I hope you have had a wonderful weekend xx
