All about creatures and animals

It's time for our  new challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where our themes are 'Forest Friends and 'Feature a Creature'..........believe it or not I hadn't notice the similarity until I wrote up the scheduled posts..........as teams we toss ideas around well in advance so put it down to sheer coincidence. As always there are wonderful prizes to be won at both. 

The card at the top is my first creation for Stamping Sensations using some stamps I was given by a blogging pal for Christmas, the cottage stamp and one with the pond go together perfectly to create a scene. After stamping both with Versafine black and coloured with pencils, added sky with Pan Pastels and stamped the two Penny Black bunnies on the path, my thinking is that this pretty cottage is deep in the Country and as with our garden and paddocks, bunnies are regular visitors (much to hubby's annoyance as they dig up the grass).

The fence on this one is actually called Snowy fence, but I figure it works just as well for any time of year and yes, those PB bunnies feature again.  I inked the fence and PB tree with Distress Markers and spritzed with water before stamping onto Bristol Vellum card. I painted in some hills with watery DI's and the sky with Pan Pastels, some PB birds and a sentiment.

This one, my second Stamping Sensations creation used all Lavinia stamps. My starting point was to stamp the moon then build up the background with Pan Pastels then stamp all the images into place with Versafine Black, a little colour to the Willow and some liquid pearls.

Finally, another Penny Black share, this time a masked circle and colour added with DI's, then more colour with a stencil to create the background. The animals are stamped with Versafine black with the mask still in place and the sentiment stamped once it was removed.
