Welcome to another new post, it's not always easy, and creating definitely is so hard sometimes when I'm on a downer, but I just keep trying, even if 3 out of 4 end up in the bin.
It's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.
At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Show Your True Colours' , so use your favourite colours and at the moment I am loving the colour combination of Distress Inks - Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet and went vintage with this card. All the stamps including the small ones used to make my backgrounds are from Crafty Individuals and are from sets from a magazine as a Freebie.
We have sponsorship this Month from
And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.
And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Blooms, Butterflies And Bugs' , I have all three on my card. I love the layout I have done on this card and will definitely be using it again, it's just so pretty.
We have prizes from Penny Black, Swedish House Crafts and Stix2 Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your Penny Black stamps out isn't it!!!!!!

I admire you for your perseverance Tracy as I know how tough it is for you some days, yet you have still managed to ease back to your DT work and come up with lovely creations, this and the post below confirms that.
I too love those two DI's together and it is such a pretty and feminine card. And your PB moggy is coloured beautifully and all coordinated perfectly.

One truly feminine and the second so cute! Fabulous cards Tracy;-))m
Lovely colour combo for the SS challenge Tracy - great card
(Moggy is pretty cute too!)
Both cards are gorgeous! The kitty with bee costume is just so darling and beautifully colored too! And a beauty you created for Stamping sensations with the pretty colors and feminine image!
Your award was so well deserved!

i love the pink and green together on the first card, lovely and the second one is adorable, bright and bee-autiful!
Two really lovely creations Tracy. Fabulous background with a great colour combination, lovely image and love the way you have done the flowers.
I nearly used that Bee image, glad I didn't now as my colouring would not bee (!) a patch on yours. Lovely papers and dies too.

Two beautiful makes Tracy, I love that Penny Black cat one (it's one of my favourite images!) Beautiful work even though it's difficult some days xxxxx
wow love the first card, those colours are amazing. Love your second sweet card too - so cute and with the lovely dies.
I know it's hard - but creating will help you even if it doesn't always work out.

Penny Black images are gorgeous and so is your card. Thanks for sharing with us at Colour Crazy.
You just keep trying Tracy because you're doing a great job. Your cards are so pretty and I love your colour combinations. Creative Stamping Magazine really have excelled themselves recently with their freebie stamps, I just wish Craft Stamper would do the same. Take care Hun xx
Love this vintage look and you have done it beautifully. Thanks for joining in with our current challenge at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge. Good luck.
hugs

Both cards are fabulous, Tracy, but Oh my goodness, that second one is darling! Thanks so much for joining us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies! Hope to see you again soon!
Oh what a sweet kitty - I don't think the bumblebees would be fooled though :)
Thanks for sharing this with us at Aud Sentiments,

Two very beautiful cards, Tracy. I love that combination of bundled sage and victorian velvet - so elegant. If we can find calm or lose ourselves in creating/ colouring/ art, then it is worthwhile, whether there is an end product or not xxx hang in there, hun and take care xxx
