We have the first challenges of 2025 at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where we have the themes of 'Anything but Square' as selected by Emma and 'Hand Coloured Image' at Stamping Sensations. Prizes come from AALL and Create and Grafton Crafts which is the only craft shop in my neck of the woods about fifteen miles away, it's a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering fee p&p on all orders over £15.
It wasn't my intention but DT shares appear to follow a very similar colour palette. For the above triptych card I've used A&C's Rosy Daze (1251), Petal Pop (1259) and Wiggle and Dance (1174) plus a few older worker stamps. Oxides for the background and Ecoline pens to colour.
Again A&C stamps and base die which is Heart marks the Spot (46) and stamp Best you every Had (1176), but currently on offer. Coloured best I can using Ecoline pens, never an easy ask of me!
Last but by no means least a new challenge has started over at the Snippets Playground, there are rumours of a party to celebrate 13 years since Miss Di took on us lot, so here is my share using a one of the new A&C stamp sets, this one is Sunny Splash (1250) and base dies Frayed Frames (25) currently on offer. Sunflowers stamped several times onto snippets, coloured and cut out, sentiment from Power of the Word and Birdie, both stamped onto snippets.
I do hope you will come and join us this month, I know there are some awesome colourists our there so would love to see you creativity.

3 Gorgeous cards, each one totally different. I admire colourists as well - I have no patience for it!
Three lovely cards to inspire us this month - some beautiful flowers depicted to get us in the mood for, hopefully, warmer and brighter weather before too long.
Lovely cards, Brenda The delicate lilac shading works so well! As to colouring with Ecoline pens it's difficult on anything but watercolour card which helps with colour blending (and doesn't object to added water). x
2 beautiful cards Brenda.......gr karin
Absolutely stunning cards Brenda l really like the dies you used and the colours / images so beautifully done x
Such bright and beautiful cards today Brenda, perfect to cheer up a cold, rainy Sunday. Love the stamps and colours on the first two- the snippets card is a ray of sunshine.
We had snow in the night but it soon disappeared- hoping that's it for this year! xx
Three fantastic creations. I love that shape on the first card. Have a great week. Hugs Anesha
Three beauties Brenda, love the colours and shapes of the first two and the burst of sunshine yellows on your snippets card. We've had snow lying since Wednesday evening, made more treacherous by the overnight -3 to - 6 temperature,
The first two cards for WLS and SS are sensational. Love the colour schemes.
The third card is full of sunshine and just terrific for the Snippets Playground where the sun always shines! I can neither confirm, nor deny, the party rumours! Shhh! Thanks for coming to play xxx
Three beautiful floral cards with such pretty colors. You are so lucky to have a good craft store so close by!
All of them stunning cards Brenda, I love the colour mix in each, and the sentiments on each are so inspiring. Maybe I should write them down and try to live by them. I hope you and yours are well. Faith x

I am very happy that the colours are similar on your first 2 cards as they look fabulous and there is nothing wrong with your colouring. The more monotone look of the sunflowers on your third card is lovely too xx
Lovely cards! Lovely colors!
I especially like the dies used on the second!
Three wonderful cards, Brenda. The colour combinations on the first two are so striking. Your beautiful sunflower card is perfect for brightening up a dull and wet day like today.
