Smiling by Brenda


Good morning, hope everyone is OK and had a good Easter. 

Today I am sharing some of my samplesd from last months Hochanda shows. Starting with the top creation using the beautiful Floribunda Net which I stamped onto an inky Oxide background and bleached out the colour from the blooms. Using gesso as an 'ink' I stamped some circles from Just Useful and numbers from Small Graph. On a panel across the bottom I used one of the images from Life is so much Better which was launched on the show. They are my own and first set of inspirational quotes and I'm still a bit taken back that Lesley and David wanted to make them into a stamp set, thank you both 😊


Following the current trend of long tall cards I used Garden Lace Scene which fits this style so well. After stamping the image I added colour and mated with coordinating colours. The sentiment is another from Life is so much Better.

As always my thanks for popping in today.

  1. Two beauties Brenda and I particularly love the slimline card with that prettily coloured scene and a great sentiment, but your roses also stand out beautifully against the more vintage grungy look with the roughened edges and the white circles, and your own sentiments made into stamps...brilliant! x

  2. I have just used the beautiful rose net stamp, I love your version, and the fabulous sentiment. A gorgeous card. Your Garden Lace card is glorious and bright and wonderful with another beautiful quote.
