magnolia
Decided that I really must get back to doing some crafting - have partially sorted out the chaos after my son tidied things up while i was in hospital last year, and need to make samples for a WI workshop later on using things I can actually find!
One of my finds was this lovely magnolia stamp from Chocolate Barqoue (think i have found most of my CB stamps now), the butterfly stencil from Aall& create and anonymous script and music clear stamps that I have used in the background. The image is coloured with kuretake pens
I am linking this to challenges from Stamping Sensations
and We love stamping, both with themes of Hello Spring

collage
It's been a long time since i shared anything, due to family and then personal illness - life is hopefully getting back to something approaching normal now!
it's also been a long time since I made an ATC, and i couldn/t believe how long it took to make this one....partly due to finding where all the craft stuff was!
This was for a collage challenge using Crafty Individuals stamps - I used the teasel in the background and fussycut the mushrooms
I couldn't just post an ATC, so this was the card it went with - you can see more of the teasel stamp and the whole of the mushrooms stamp on a piece of brusho card, and very faintly in the background a meadow grasses stamp. The wonky word was handdrawn

january fairy
The end of 2023 was pretty hectic, so blogging wne by the wayside - what passes for normal blogging is back now!
My offering today featrues new-to-me fairy tale stamps from Chocolate Baroque https://www.chocolatebaroque.com/january-fairy-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-dl.html and https://www.chocolatebaroque.com/magical-landscapes-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-a5.html plus the leaf stamp from an older set which I think may be discontinued.
I used a brusho background, stamped the castle using grey versafine clair ink and coloured with ZIG clean colour pens. The fairy was stamped on white card, coloured with the pens and metallic pencils and cut out before being seated among the leaves. The leaves were stamped onto more brusho-coloured card , cut out and glued along the borders

poppy heart
today's share is a card using pretty poppies from Chocolate Baroque. I love poppies, and for this one I coloured them the tradional red although I love the big blue variety.
The main image was stamped onto a piece of white card coloured with brusho powders, painted using clearcolor pens and then glued onto a whiteboard heart and trimmed.
The background was created using distress oxide inks, stencils from Lavinia and Aall & create and another poppy image from the same set, as is the sentiment
I would like ti add this to the tripleB challenge -birds/blooms/butterflies
