Good morning, here we are again scheduled and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our theme is Anything Goes from the Garden. We have prizes from Oakwood.
Scheduling this early May and utilising more un-blogged cards in my Penny Black folder, when I have new stamp I tend to have a splurge and make several, a habit which goes back years to when I used to demo at the NEC and other shows/stores when a variety were required to display versatility of a product.
Above using Penny Black Lovely repeat stamped and inked direct to stamp with Ecoline pens, the die is Penny Black Cherish cut at an angle and placed over a stencilled panel and envie to match.
This one also from the files, I made two very similar in different colours and shared the other some time ago. All stamps are Lavinia and include Everlee, Secret Garden, Vine Flourish, Lavender and Flutterby and background a mixture of Oxides and Pan Pastels. Entering this one In the Garden at Give a crafter a cookie and Ellies Garden Party 15.
A few days late, my card for May's Card Chain Challenge where the colour palette was chocolate, orange and slate, luckily I had this in my folder which loosely fitted the colour theme with flowers, one of the options. It went to Greta in the US and I received a lovely sunny floral card from Chris in the US. Focal stamps are Lavinia and include Logan in the centre surrounded by Sunflower Heads.
Three beauties Brenda the Penny Black stamp suitable for so many occasions,gorgeous colours on the second and third cards.Hope you are now improving

ReplyDeleteYour trio of garden themed cards is stunning, from the soft repeat stamped florals to the rich Lavinia scenes and the warm earthy palette of the card chain piece; each design shows such thoughtful composition and color work, and the matching envelope is a wonderful finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful creations Brenda and hard to pick a favorites. But I think this time it's the orange and gray bunny card, I am sure Greta was thrilled to receive it. The other two are equally pretty though!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, it's so great to see you at my Garden Party with that gorgeous fairy card!

ReplyDeleteLove them all!

Three amazing cards. I think I pick the first one as my favourite. I really like those flowers and the fine stems and leaves. They look like irises which are one of my favourite flowers xx
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards Brenda. Love the colours of the bottom one, very effective. I hope you are seeing progress in your recovery.
ReplyDeleteThree fabulous cards, Brenda. I love how you decorate the envelopes too.

I love the tri-colored flowers in your first card. They have some super texture too. It's lovely Brenda. And that wreath also also beautiful. Grey and orange work so well together, and you always managed to make such perfect weathers. Hope you are just about back to yourself again, or at least well on the way. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love both PB floral stamps and Lavinia scenes and yours are always gorgeous, Brenda! x

ReplyDeleteAll three beautiul, but favorites are ofcourse the Lavinia ones. At a first glance I almost didn't recognicr that it were Lavinia stamps on the third one! Great idea with such different colors! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteAll just beautiful, Brenda! I'm enjoying the beautiful bunny rabbit card you sent and the fairy card is utterly delightful! Fritz started an anti-inflammatory med and I do think it's already helping with his back leg issue. Hope things are improving for you.
