Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies. I have made my own clothes, knitted garments, hand embroidered items of clothing, and crocheted items too. I love to bake my own cakes as well.

STAMPED CARD AGAIN....WITH SOME BIRDS.


Hi, and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

The weather in my part of Kent has been very glorious for most of this week so far.
I do so hope it's the same wherever you may live.

I have a card today to post for the Allsorts Challenge which this weeks theme is feathered friends.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
Now the super lovely colour for my matt layer and inside I made by first blending DOI Worn Lipstick, and then Blueprint Sketch over the top which gave me this lovely rich colour.
I stamped my Bullfinches with Archival Ink and coloured them with Derwent Water Colour Pencils.
I decided to stamp a pattern onto my top layer with DOI Blueprint Sketch, and Broken China.
All stamps were freebies from Creative Stamping magazine.
Added Wendy L's wonderful butterflies also.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I really appreciate every visit, and comment.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

    A beautiful card Jenny and I like how you've placed the birds in the aperture, lovely colours too. We've definitely had better weather here in Yorkshire this week and it's dried the washing, so that's a good sign. Hope you're keeping well and happy x

    I like that lovely deep and rich colour you've blended with Oxides, it looks so good. The vellum butterflies look right at home on your card x

    Wow! This is stunning Jenny! I love that stamp, it makes a nice background. I also love the pretty little flower and leave die you used for the center for the birds as well as the frame. So pretty! Love the color combo too. But then I get to the inside and as if the outside wasn't stunning enough, the inside is amazing too! I love that rich color you got by combining the inks and then the stamping. This is an amazing card! Hugs, Brenda
