Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts and Mervi had chosen the theme of 'Bees, Blooms and Butterflies', although I'm actually hosting this week as Mervi has left the team after more than ten years, we really will miss her. Prizes come from Craft Stash, Highlight Crafts and AALL and Create and winners will be drawn on Friday.
The focal image is is called Insectual Healing (1093), one of Abs (AALL and Create) own designs as is the Frayed Frames (26) die. Image coloured with Ecoline pens, always a challenge for me, especially shading so as my youngest Son always say's "it is what it is".
Thanks for all your kind messages earlier in the week, partly sorted but a little way to go still, felt OK after the procedure, it's the meds now making me feel ropey and hoping some can stop after next CT scan.
Happy weekend all.
The image certainly covers the challenge theme, great choice and the 'ragged' border is unusual
ReplyDeleteLove the stamp, love the die-cut so perfect for a mixed media look! x
ReplyDeleteLovely card with a beautiful image and gorgeous colours Brenda. Hope you are soon feeling much better and enjoy your weekend.

Beautiful image Brenda and great colouring, and another lovely A&C die to set it off. I’m just catching up after nearly 2 weeks away and a few serious issues of my own, so sorry to hear you’ve not been well again .. haven’t read down that far yet xx❤️
ReplyDeleteI love the stamp Brenda- perfect for the theme and beautifully framed with the die cut. Glad procedure went well- shame about the meds making you feel rough-hopefully you'll be able to cut down on them soon.

Your card featuring the Insectual Healing design is truly captivating, especially with the vibrant colors from the Ecoline pens. I understand the challenge of shading, but you've done a fantastic job bringing the image to life. Thank you for the update on your health; I'm glad to hear you're on the mend, and I hope the upcoming CT scan brings good news.
ReplyDeleteAs always you have showcased this beautiful stamped and coloured image perfectly,the die cut frame is definitely " unique". Hope your scan is soon.

A beautiful fresh design.
ReplyDeleteThis card is definitely unique as the sentiment says! The coloring looks great to me with those blue and white skies and big mushroom standing tall. Great die cut for the edges too, I like it! Do continue resting and taking care of yourself and I hope you're able to enjoy a pleasant weekend.
ReplyDeleteFabulous flora, fauna and fungi inside that super die cut frame.
ReplyDeleteMissed your earlier post, but just caught up with it. I see from THIS post that the procedure was partially successful. Good luck getting off some of your meds. Wishing you well.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
I think your colouring looks great and I love the black frame too. I am glad things are a little better. Hope they continue to improve xx
ReplyDeleteCiao Brenda,
ReplyDeletenon ho mai usato le penne Ecoline, ma immagino siano inchiostri piuttosto liquidi. In ogni caso, la tua colorazione è magnifica e sei riuscita a dare un bell'effetto 3D all'immagine con quel grande fungo in primo piano, così vibrante, e il cielo delicato con le nuvolette! La cornice creativa di AALL&Create è davvero perfetta per dare risalto alla scena!
Spero che tu ti stia godendo il sole, che i limoni facciano effetto e che tu possa fare la TAC al più presto, in modo da eliminare qualche medicina che ti fa stare male!!
Un grande abbraccio!
Love this card, Brenda. Great woodland scene and the frayed frame is beautiful, so unusual.
