Morning Peeps, at Allsorts this week Liz would like us to use Ribbons and/or Twine. We have a lovely prize of a Sizzix die set from Craft Stash. This coming Friday will see our monthly winners announcement but this month a twist as we will be giving away some extra prizes, our Christmas gift to our loyal entrants.
The background of the above card was a mop up from my spray box (recycled from an Amazon delivery), I always keep a sheet of corrugated in the bottom for this very purpose, after spraying I dab offcuts to pick up the ink and lovely textures. I stamped AALL and Create Leaves onto the piece, foraged some dry foliage from the garden and tied with twine, a button, word and birdie, very quick and easy. I am hopping over to the challenge at the Path of Positivity with this, only a short quote but one I often use on cards for youngsters.
This one uses a Penny Black set called Foliage Fantasy which I fear may well be discontinued as I found nothing in my search. They are two part stamps, the outline and a second one with the veins. I used a white brilliance ink pad for the silhouette image onto black cardstock, then versafine and embossing powders for second stamping of the veins. A strip of vellum with a sentiment from my Moments set, button and twine.

you have made 2 beautiful cards Brenda......gr karin
Great use of your mop ups Brenda. Loving the leafy card too - very striking leafiness against the black background. xxx
Your card for the Allsorts challenge is beautiful! The background created from your spray box mop-up is so creative, and the stamped AALL and Create Leaves add a lovely touch. The dry foliage from your garden, tied with twine and a button, completes the design perfectly.
Two great cards rend a, fab background with your mop ups works great with the leafy goodness, and I particularly love your two part stamped leaves with the veins - that is a really lovely and pretty effect xx

I love how you created the first card with the corrugated piece and mopped up the excess ink. It turned out lovely with those delicate leaf images and blended colors. The leaves on your 2nd card are so pretty and the soft colors and details show up beautifully on the black background. Loving the button and twine accents on both cards too!
Beautiful. Wonderful texture, color and foliage. The fiber and button are the perfect finishing touches. Thanks for sharing with us at Path of Positivity. Katrina
Love it that you used a mopped up piece; it looks so good! And vellum for the leaves is a great idea; looks good! Enjoy the weekend!
What a great idea to use a floral stem from your garden, it makes the pretty card extra special! And love the colorful leaves on your second card with the pretty sparkle and great sentiment. The button anf twine finish it off so nicely!
Two beautiful cards to say goodbye to Autumn, the colours on both are gorgeous,love the frosty feel of the second
Such lovely texture on both these cards Brenda- I particularly like the first one with it's beautiful natural look, lovely idea to add the dried foliage too.

Great cards. I love the 3d elements and those 2 part leaf stamps. You have really made them shine xx
Two gorgeous cards Brenda. Love the second one - the leaves look so striking against the black background.

Very nice texture on the first Brenda!
Love the embossing and vellum on the second!
2 clever ideas Brenda! I have never used my spray box liners... x
A couple of lovely cards and what a great idea to keep a piece of corrugated in your spray box - something to remember to give some variation to the 'mop-ups'
Two beautiful cards Brenda, lovely background on the first and the stamped leaves on the second are gorgeous.

Two wonderful cards Brenda, perfect for the Allsorts Challenge. Thanks for the tip with the corrugated card, the result is very effective.

Great use of your mop up for this wonderful card. I love those delicate leaves on your second card and the embossing powder really makes them pop.
Both beautiful, but the leaves are just stunning!
LOVELY cards Brenda and the fibres and twine look fabulous. What a brilliant background on the first one and the vellum goes brilliantly with the silhouettes. I hope you have had a safe weekend. It was ghastly here, Storm Bert tore four galvanised sheets from the hay barn that, thankfully, only blew into the arena. We braved it once the gales died down and put them back up in lashing rain!! xx
I wish my mop ups looked that good Brenda!! Two very gorgeous cards!
You create the most beautiful cards Brenda with gorgeous backgrounds x
Beautiful cards! Love the fantastic leaves!
Hugs,
Conny

I love your mop up background, Brenda. It looks beautiful over-stamped with leaves. The dried flowers are a lovely addition along with the bobbly, wool twine.
Beautifully creative! Thanks for joining the November Path of Positivity challenge. x
