Morning Peeps, a new challenge at Allsorts which I am hosting, it's the usual A/G along with the theme of 'Close to Nature'. We have three super prizes of A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create.
Your comments, mails and cards following my last post were so kind and appreciated, thank you all.
It's a bit of a lengthy post as I also have my mid month shares for We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations so I'll try and keep the blurb limited.
For the top card I've used A&C's new Polygon (56) die, patience needed is all I'll say and not ideal for those with dodgy dexterity but I got there in the end! The Butterflies are from Wiggle and Dance (1174) and the rub ons in the panels Cultural Gems (16).
I used one of the older A&C sets for this one Wire Birds (394) plus a couple of worker stamps for the squiggles. It's out of stock at A&C but if you hunt round there are some good deals to be had at some stores. A brayered background using Oxides, the bird and feathers cut out to decoupage and some twine wrapped around.
Above a share for the current Lavinia challenge 'Blue Hues', a Gelli Plate circle, Quinn sitting on Vine Branch having a chat with Small Pixie Fairy. Worker stamps Leaf Creeper, Group Poppies and Maple Leaf and Faerie Spells stamped third generation. There's a liberal helping of glitter on the wings and hair although you would never know from the photo.
Above for WLS using AALL and Create Inflatably Awesome (1143), Red Wine rub ons (10) and Heart Marks the Spot (46). As colouring in required not stamps I would choose if buying, but given them my best shot.
Again AALL and Create, this an A4 stamp set called Clocks and Flowers (558) which is still available from several stores and at decent prices. I would like to enter this at The Path of Positivity challenge, the optional theme is Embrace the Unexpected so I think this will have to follow the A/G route.

Superb collection is so many different styles, Brenda! I have to say the balloon card with its grungy marks and bright colours is my favourite and the card shape is great too. x

Unable to pick a favourite from these beauties Brenda
Brenda, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Each card is a masterpiece, and I love how you've incorporated different styles and techniques. The blue card with Lavinia stamps is particularly stunning.
Fabulous set of cards Brenda, all so different, all so beautiful. I love the colours on the balloons so bright and cheery on a dull day like today. Have a good weekend.

Your work is always so artistic, Brenda! I especially love the one with feathers (have never brayered a bg with oxides) and the last with the wonderful sentiment.
A wonderful selection here Brenda, you have been busy! The different designs showcase your versatility, and are all beautiful. Fabulous stamping and colour choices- my eyes are particularly drawn to the second card with the amazing yellow/orange background- I need to see bright colours this time of year :) You did a great job colouring the balloons on the WLS card.

Hope it's been a little easier this week, still early days.

Wow, you have been a busy bee. Love all the card.
What a brilliant collection of cards. I can't choose a favourite. I do love those A&C dies, but I can imagine that first one is a bit of a challenge. One day they will find their way into my stash, I am sure xx
