Rose spotlight by Brenda

Morning everyone, hope you are all OK , I have a few shares from my samples from last month Hochanda TV shows.

As is the norm for me the first two follow an inky route, above Oxides added from acetate and dabbed away to give a soft finish followed by some stencilling using the squares from Strip Stencils and circles using the coffee stain from Make your Mark. Focally Briar Rose Butterfly coloured in and the Butterflies stamped again and decoupaged and a metal spotlight placed over the bud.  Onto some offcuts I stamped the numbers from Edgy Edges, tore the edges and fixed into place. Finally some washi tape. 

For this one I sprayed Oxide Sprays across the top of a pice of card, spritzed with water and held at an angle to persuade the colour to run down the page. I used worker stamps from Make your Mark and Gerbera and Friends to build up the background, quote from Words of Inspiration heat embossed in details gold EP, three Butterflies from Just Butterflies and metal embellishments for their Thorax.

A fairly simple one for my final share, papers from the 8x8 Designer Papers, stamped around the edges with Butterflies from Just Butterflies using Versafine Clair, Honeysuckle Butterfly stamped focally and coloured in with pencils.

Have a good weekend and many thanks for popping by today.

Today is Your Day by Brenda

Hello everyone, I have a few more shares from my samples from last months Hochanda shows.

This beautiful bloom called Canary Bird Rose was probably my favourite from the stamps on the shows as it's so versatile. After stencilling some spots onto the background using Strip Stencils I stamped the flower head onto an offcut inked with Crackling Campfire Oxide and cut out and placed into a die cut circle. Next I used the same colour inks to stamp some background interest using the worker stamps from Gerbera and Friends. A sentiment from Canary Bird Rose placed into a ring sourced in the greenhouse.......I think hubby uses them for his cucumbers! 

A misty oxide background and images from Silhouette Grasses stamped randomly, some flicks of white pen and sentiment from Artistic Affirmations.

Finally a bright and sunny creation using the big Sunflower from Gerbera and Friends, stamped with Versafine Clair and cut out twice to decoupage, some die cut leaves and a rarity for me some DP in coordinating colours. A sentiment from Dream Petals and Dragonfly from Life is Wonderful.

Have a good Thursday and thanks for your visit.

Inspire Me by Brenda

Hello all, I have a couple more cards to share, the one at the top features the lovely Katya who some of you may have seen on Lesley's recent Hochanda shows is becoming a bit of a lady of disguise doubling up without her headdress as Red Indian.

I stamped Katya in Versafine black ink then masked her to created the rainbow background using Pan Pastels and then used Silhouette Masks 1 and 2 to create some background interest before colouring Katya with Distress Markers. Finally a sentiment from Words of Inspiration.

Another sentiment from Words of Inspiration stamped and placed into an oval die cut aperture, some stencilling on the front panel using Strip Stencils, Butterflies stamped coloured and cut out and some ribbon.

Many thanks as always for popping in today.
