Allsorts challenge week 523 - Black and White plus one other colour.

Good Morning, it is my turn to host the challenge this week at Allsorts and I have chosen one of my favourite themes...

Black and White plus one other colour.

Our Sponsor this week is Stamp Addicts with a £15 voucher to spend in their store.

Stamp Addicts are releasing a brand new range of beautiful floral stamp sets tomorrow at 12noon on Hochanda TV, each stamp set designed by Teri Sherman include a large background stamp and two stand alone blooms and/or butterflies. 

If you check out the Allsorts challenge blog you will see two of their lovely new images used by Brenda.

I have used the Woodware stamp - Stiched Poppies
Stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and coloured with Promarkers Berry Red.
To be honest I didn't rush to buy this stamp as I really was not keen on all the grunge on the stamp but  bought it in the end,

Three eventful happenings this week,.

Came back from a lovely holiday and went down with a horrid cold, cough and sore throat.

The day we came home Grandsons and Mum and Dad went to Loch Lomond, so we haven't seen them for three weeks, on the plus side Lynda and Ethan (14) have both passed the test to drive a speed boat. Lynda says that Ethan is a natural and he was perfect in everything. Well I have always known that.

Before we went on holiday we had 6 eggs in our Blue Tit box and when we came home all the eggs had hatched and then on Tuesday they all flew the nest. This is the first time we have had all eggs hatch and all the birds lived to fly away.

Rudolph Day - May 2019

A little late this month as I usually try to enter on the 25th but only got back from holiday at tea time that day and I totally forgot which image I was going to use for May.

So the RD challenge over at ScrappyMo's will run until the 31st of May, still plenty of time left.

This cheery little fellow is a stamp by Hobby Art Ltd.
I can not tell you the name of the stamp because I do not actually own it.
A lady that comes to our monthly craft meeting was using it and I admired it so she gave me the stamp, ink pad and paper to stamp some of the image.
I have made five cards, snowflake E.F.
Computer generated sentiment as I wanted it to be down instead of across.
Coloured with ProMarkers.
Glitter on his hat and a tad on the falling snow.
Do pop over to the challenge post to see the lovely samples by the DT and the other entries.

Penny Black and More - Mid month reminder

Good Morning - I am here with my card for the mid month reminder for our May challenge over at Penny Black and More.

 `the challenge is .. All things Feminine- with the option of Anything goes.

I have used Penny Black 40.674 - Bouquet Ballet for my card.

I stamped the image on a piece of 12 x12 paper cut to size and then I paper pieced the the some of the flower with the same paper but coloured the flower image, with the small flowers with Promarkers and backed the image on white card.
I then used the same papers for the background.

The lace was white but I coloured it with a pink Promarker.

The DP's are from a 12x12 paper pad from the Works which were cheap as chips but some lovely papers.
A gem in each corner

Thank you all for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave.
