Good morning to you all, it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts where this week Tracy Mouse would like to see 'Wings'. Our sponsor is Penny Black and there are two prizes to be won.
It's always a pleasure to work with Lavinia fairies and I really enjoyed making this one. I started with a piece of Fabriano and stamped the tree and fairy in black archival, next I masked a sun and used Pan Pastles to create a background. Next I stamped the toadstools, Agapanthus, leaves and stars, added some stickles and stamped the sentiment which is also Lavinia.
My second card uses one of my many Penny Black Poppy stamps, embossed with detail clear and coloured with Spectrum pencils. The DP's are Nitwits, I'm now down to remaining few sheets in the pad which were a Birthday gift from a crafty friend a couple of years and a organza bow to finish.
And a final share for this months Rudolph Day over at Mo's, No stamping on this one just Christmas Roses and Holly using tattered Lace Trio dies and matching embossing folder cut on pearlescent card and Bazzil, some TL crinkly ribbons and I added little yellow pearl stamens to the the middle of the roses.
Whatever you are up to I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend.

I love all your cards and I'll be over to Allsorts to play along later in the week - it's my favourite theme so how could I resist? But I've popped in just now with my Rudolph Days hat on, and your card is absolutely gorgeous. That crinkly ribbon and the berries you have added are wonderful finishing touches.
Thanks for playing along at Rudolph Days this month.

An amazing collection of cards again Brenda! I think my favourite has to be the PB one, but really they are all stunning!
I apologize for the lack of visits, time just always gets in the way.... Happy Easter to you and yours!!
I always love a bit of fairy magic Brenda and so your first card is right up my street. I'm also a great fan of poppies and I know that they're one of your favourites too. This Penny Black Poppy is a lovely stamp and you've coloured it beautifully as always. Lovely card too for the Rudolph challenge and the ribbon and leaves co-ordinate beautifully. Wishing you a very Happy Easter and lots of Happy Crafting x
three beauties Brenda - but I am totally enchanted by the first one - it is stunning! Have a wonderful day Brenda! Hugs Rachel x
I love your beautiful cards, especially the Rudolph Day card. These tattered lace trio dies make gorgeous flowers and foliage.

Really pretty cards Brenda, love your fairy scene and the two floral cards. Still haven't got back to my ink work, cause work work keeps getting in the way! Happy Easter, hope you have a lovely weekend, Jx
Amo ogni tuo scenario, Brenda, e questo sfumato nei toni del lilla è sensazionale! La fatina è splendida! Le foglie e gli Agapanthus danno una bella leggerezza a tutto! Le altre due sono molto eleganti, specialmente l'ultima con i fiori bianchi e quel bel nastro!
Ti auguro una Buona Pasqua, dolce e piena di pace!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. There - have commented on all 3 of them!!!!! xx

Both of your wings cards are simply stunning.
Your Xmas card is simply exquisite and so perfect too, thanks for joining us Rudolph Days Challenge this month, Luv Sam (GDT) x
You do make beautiful cards, Brenda! Lovely fairy scene, beautiful printed papers & I love the unique Christmas card! Happy Easter!
Sniggering at Viv's comment! And of course, I totally agree with it!
My fave is the Lavinia one. You've made a beautiful inky card there Brenda.
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
A lovely set of cards, Brenda. I always admire how you can create a scene using different stamp sets and make it look magical. Happy Easter! For practical reasons, we normally celebrate Easter with the Greeks, which isn't until May 1st this year. The weather over here is definitely warmer than in your part of the world,malthough today was a little cooler than the last few days. But we've managed to have our coffee out on the terrace this morning during a sunny patch with little or no clouds. I've been able to walk the dog dressed in a short-sleeved t-shirt 3 mornings in a row (after 10), so no complaining here. DH has started to walk the last, short evening round again, so things are definitely improving.

These are amazing, the fairy one has to be my favourite Brenda, gorgeous.

No-one does backgrounds and fairy's like you, stunning card.
Love the poppy stamp and the gorgeous papers and I am not going to mention that stunning bow.
Totally love the RD card made from some lovely dies.
I can not remember the last time anyone bought me an Easter egg.
Happy Easter, what is left of it.

Three gorgeous cards, especially loving the first one, such a magical scene! Those Lavinia fairies are so beautiful! Gorgeous poppy stamp on the second card too, this one has been on my wishlist for some time, but seems like I always add new stamps to that list :-)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hope it's filled with sunshine!

Gorgeous designs as always, love the fairy scene. I hope you are doing well, I've been away for a while. Happy Easter xxx
I love visiting your blog to see all the beautiful cards you have created for each post. This beautiful trio are no exception, gorgeous stamping, inking, embossing and designs.
Happy Easter Day!

Great cards, Brenda - I especially love that magical twilight colour of the fairy one - just lovely! Sorry to be somewhat absent lately... we're even working 2 - 11pm today so just time to dash round and wish you a happy Easter!

Gorgeous cards Brenda, love the fairy scene, colours look so magical.
Hope you're having a lovely Easter.

I'm so pleased I found your blog. Love your creations xx Jan
Stunning cards again Brenda, you make it all seem so easy!!
Happy Easter, hope you had a great day!!
All 3 are just gorgeous! Such different styles, such different media treatments, all done so skillfully. Love the designs, the wonderful images, and I love the look on the Rudy Day card with those gorgeous floral dies. The holly, berries, stamens and the background - created such a breathtaking card. TFS & Happy Easter. Hugs
wow, all cards are simply stunning - I love the fairy one.
I always admire the scenes you create with your stamps. They are always perfectly thought through to the last detail and the one on today's card is no different-it looks amazing! I'd love to be able to have a walk in a magical forest like that.
Your second card is wonderful too. I like that flower stamp you used and I think that big bow is a perfect finishing touch.
I think it can be quite a challenge to create a card using only die cuts and no stamps, but you did a great job with your last card. Those Tattered lace flower dies are great and really versatile. Great idea to use them to make a Christmas card.
Hsppy Easter!
Hugs! xx
Happy Easter and I so love your Wings card. Got to get my thinking cap on for the challenge. Love your challenges so much and thank you.
