Morning everyone, we have new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Spring and Anything Goes plus a Spring Mood Board so basically Spring all the way. Lovely prizes as always, stamps and stencils from AALL and Create and a £25 store voucher from Crafty Individuals.
Above a tri-fold card with an acetate and Oxide splodged background with lots of AALL and Create stamps, Crocus (624), Violet (574), Elegant Spring Florals (623) plus Seasons (455) and Mouse (811). All of the images including the tiny Birdie and Mice were cut out on the Scan and Cut after stamping onto inked cardstock.
Here's the mood board for Stamping Sensations....
I've gone with Paris, Blossoms, Pinks and a Bird. The backing is from MCS printed onto rice paper and the blossoms Penny Black At Grace repeat stamped using the platform and again cut out on the Scan and Cut, as I've said before, invaluable whilst I've one hand/arm not working properly, but hopefully to be sorted this week (see below).
A simple Spring tag following the colours and Daisy in the mood board using AALL and Create Tag it Yourself die set (27) and Flower Trio (924) onto a brayered and crackle paste background.
Below just one more for the new Path of Positivity challenge, sentiment from my Believe stamp set which I always find inspiring, guess I would say that wouldn't I, but good value with ten different inspirational quotes for £16.99 from Stamp Addicts here or Create and Craft. All other stamps are AALL and Create A5 set Just Grow (270) on offer at £7.60 (usually £18.99) and numbers from Grunge Alphabet (397) also A5 and £18.99. Flowers are paper pieced using inky offcuts onto an inky background created with oxides and acetate.
I won't be round to visit for a day or two, eventually I'm going into hospital for the January cancelled spinal, cervical and occipital nerve blocks and radiofrequency albation. Hopefully relief from some of the pain and mobility issues plus almost daily migraines (my body's built up antibodies to Emgality injections, they had been a miracle for a few years, dropping migraines from 20 to 5 or 6 days a month). It's a PM list so may be overnight and then a day or two recovery and rest, but I'll catch up with you all very soon.

Best wishes for a successful procedure and speedy recovery Brenda, A beautiful selection of makes in gorgeous colours
Buona Domenica Brenda, sono contenta che domani finalmente hai il tuo appuntamento all'ospedale!! Dita incrociate e preghiere, che risolva i tanti problemi e i dolori che stai sopportando da Gennaio!!!
Grazie per il tuo dolce commento sul mio lavoro primaverile. Le tue tre creazioni sono capolavori e adoro le palette nei toni del rosa!!
Hai fatto un bellissimo lavoro con la Scan&Cut, tutti quei fiori rosa emergono così bene davanti alla Torre Eiffel e l'uccellino è un dettaglio perfetto per attirare l'occhio sul punto focale!
Quel bordo così particolare attorno alla tag rende tutta la composizione AALL and Create così vibrante e interessante, e adoro lo sfondo testurizzato, devo ricordarmi di usarli di più! Sei sempre una fonte inesauribile di ispirazioni!!
L'ultima card è la mia preferita, il rosa e il giallo dello sfondo mi danno una sensazione di positività e che tutto è possibile, proprio come il tuo bellissimo sentiment dice!! Stupendi anche i fiori!!
Ti abbraccio forte, buona Domenica e a presto, ma cerca di non avere fretta e di rispettare i tempi di riposo...! ;)
Gorgeous cards Brenda! Hope your procedure goes well, you must be anxious about it all. Will be thinking of you. x
A gorgeous array of cards with some beautiful spring flowers Brenda, can't choose one I love them all. Hope all goes well for you at the hospital and that the procedure gives you some relief from the pain asnd mobility issues.

Your usual fabulous cards Brenda! Love the top one with the vibrant purple. Hope your procedures go well at the hospital and that you are free from pain. I can't imagine getting so many migraines, it must be terrible! xx
What a wonderful riot of colour on that first card, it's so beautiful. Love the springtime in Paris, maybe we can meet up for that espresso! Beautiful shades of pink on your gorgeous tag. A wonderful inspirational card to finish with great inky background and layout.
All the best for the procedure. L x
Lovely texture and color in the background! Gorgeous stamps and such a strong sentiment! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katrina
Spring has definitely sprung on your blog for sure Brenda. Beautiful cards!!
Pinky is right Brenda- spring has definitely sprung here! That first card is such a lovely design with the array of spring flowers in those vibrant colours, love the effect of looking through blossom to the Eiffel Tower in the background on the second card. I like the tag die you've used, the black borders and silhouette stamps provide a lovely contrast to the pink. Beautiful colours and sentiments on the last card. No one would guess you created these beauties without the use of one arm. So pleased that you're having that procedure at last, hope all goes well and your recovery is speedy!

Ti auguro una splendida settimana, risolutiva e soddisfacente!! Un abbraccio, sei nei nostri pensieri e preghiere!
Lovely set of cards. I really like the tri fold one. The yellow, green and purple look amazing. Good luck with your procedure. Hope it all goes well. Interesting re the migraines and antibodies. Hope you get some respite soon xx
Fantastic set of cards Brenda, I love the vibrant spring flowers of the first one (I’d love the crocuses but have never succumbed), the Parisian card is so pretty and elegant, and the background inkiness on your final card is lovely. I also love the fab pink tag … I just took delivery of that floral stamp set from the A&C Easter sale along with the grungy tag die set, so I’m hoping inspiration will soon follow!
Thinking about you and wishing you all the best with your hospital op this week … I really hope it will give you some pain relief and get your mobility back so you can get back to doing all the things you want and need to do xx
All fabulous,love all the backgrounds and beautiful stamps.Hope you finally get some relief with your hospital visit.

Hoping the procedures make a big difference for you, Brenda! What beautiful floral makes! I especially love the pink card!
Wow Brenda you bring your cards and tags alive they are so lifelike beautiful flowers and stunning colours lovely backgrounds too l hope all goes well with the op sending lots of love xx
Your post is filled with gorgeous spring-like makes and everything is just beautiful! I absolutely adore the first folded card with all the rich purple and yellow colors with those first flowers of spring. The springtime in Paris blooms are just delightful in those pink colors too. The birds on the tag along with another beautiful flower look perfect as well as the encouraging words of the sentiment in the last card. Everything looks just amazing.
Sending up prayers for you as you take on this latest procedure to gain relief from your mobility, pain, and migraines. I don't know how you find the patience to create such beautiful cards and tags while dealing with so much, but may you find continued strength and healing in the coming days. Do take good care of yourself. Big hugs XX
Such beautiful projects - all of them. You're doing so well one-handed!
Wishing you all the best for your op and a speedy and successful recovery. xxx
Brilliant and beautiful tri fold card, and others are gorgeous too.
Good luck for your ops and speed recovery;-))m
All fabulous cards, but I do love the colours on the tri-fold card.
Hope all goes well the hospital procedures.

An amazing selection of cards again Brenda. Fabulous work. I'm glad you were able to carry on crafting with a little help. My good wishes for the hospital treatment to help you with ongoing issues. Just take your time and take care. Healing thoughts and prayers coming your way. x
Such beautiful floral creations, Brenda and I love how each has its own personality and gorgeous colour scheme. I'm interested in how you used the scan n cut to coy out your flowers - I've had so much trouble with the mats on mine that I rarely use it now. I hope the treatments go well and I'm sending lots of get well wishes.
