Stroom O'clock by Brenda

This one came together in the wee small hours when I was unable to sleep, the idea was there so I decided to get to it.....as you do! Again Oxides for he background and worker stamps stamped in the same colours. I stamped Stroom Clock onto the inked base and then twice more onto a pice coloured with the same inks and cut out just the strooms which I build up around the focal element. Some white highlighting, metal clock hands and index clips.......yes the obsession with them has reached me.......and finally sentiments from the same set.

I have used the Seriously Gorgeous Postcards here to show what a quick and easy card you can make with them. The aperture card is a pre-cut one and I used elements from Stroom Clock, Parsley Clock and Floral Clock to stamp onto the postcards using Stayzon, added some white highlighter and fixed into the apertures. Finally I used one of the popped out squares to stamp the sentiment to place in the middle.

A brayered background of Oxides, one of the worker stamps from Stroom Clock stamped down the centre and Floral Clock stamped with Versfine Black and then coloured with Distess Markers some little die cut circles and a Shrink Plastic Butterfly.

As always, many thanks for your kind visit.

Let the Butterflies Dance by Brenda

Morning Peeps, I have a couple of cards to share using the beautiful stamps from last months Hochanda shows which all centred around Lesley's vintage clocks.

And please do make a note to tune in tomorrow as Lesley will be back on our screens with a One Day Special and I promise you won't want to miss out on the new stamps which are absolutely beautiful...................OK I'm a bit biased, but honestly they are.

After building up a background with Distress Oxides and some of the worker stamps from Stroom Clock I stamped and cut out the floral and Butterfly elements from Floral Clock, coloured it in and placed over a die cut circle frame. Sentiments from both stamp sets, some white splatters and a couple of metal index clips.

The Seriously Gorgeous Postcards designed by Lesley were also released in the shows and here I have used one, stamped the single Parsley from Parsley Clock using Stayzon and given them a little colour, added some grasses from Wild Meadow and Shrink Plastic Butterflies. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

And here's one using the entire Parsley Clock stamped onto a stencilled background, I added two coloured of Oxide to a stencil, spritzed with water then stamped the focal image with Versafine black, stamped another of the flower heads along the bottom and coloured all. A Butterfly and sentiment from the same set.

Have a good Tuesday everyone.
