Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts, our host this week is Ellie who would like to see cards suitable for 'Children and Teenagers', our prize this week is a lovely Woodware stamp from Craft Stash.
The Lavinia Fairy is quite an old one but I always love the shape of her skirt, stamped onto a Pan Pastel background, tree was extended by masking along with Poppies and flowers, all of which are also Lavinia.
I could see some huuuuge strooms around the headlands so took a walk the other day with my camera, a rather wet and soggy one I might add as it's hardly stopped raining the last couple of weeks. It's hard to get an idea of just how big some of them are, but those in the first two photos are much larger than an outstretched hand. We won't be testing the edibility of any of them but isn't Nature wonderful with the beauty it gives.
A second card with children playing using a mixture of stamps from six or seven different companies, Pan Pastels to create the sky and Distress and Versafine Clair inks for the stamping and foreground.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Morning Brenda, it’s very blustery here this morning a big change to waking up to the lovely sunshine.

ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Brenda. I especially love the first one with the Lavinia stamps. Thanks for sharing the photos of the mushrooms/toadstools.... and you’re right, nature is just incredible. xx
ReplyDeleteHello Brenda, I love both of your cards, and perfect for children, you've used fabulous images and colours and both have gorgeous scenes.
ReplyDeleteAmazing mushrooms, I never pick any, haven't a clue what would be okay to eat and would likely poison us, Kate x
Two lovely cards Brenda, love the colouring on the fairy card and that's a lovely little scene for the playing children.
ReplyDeleteThose mushrooms are fabulous and what a great size.

What a lovely pair of fantasy cards you've made Brenda! The first has a lovely soft magical feel and the second has gorgeous colours and I love the way the children are playing with the deer on the hill while the girl swings alone in the foreground - you could write a story about that one! Those mushrooms are pretty magical themselves. It's a bumper year for them. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteTwo really super creations, both with stunning backgrounds and colours and super designs.

Amazing pics Brenda and such beautiful cards. Xx
ReplyDeleteDelightful cards Brenda! Pan pastels give such smooth backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteLovely mushrooms too! x
Love both these cards Brenda, your backgrounds are simply fabulous and enhanced by the lovely contrast from your silhouette stamps xx
ReplyDeleteBoth are so beautiful Brenda. These are such pretty silhouette stamps, I have a similar one with playing children found on ebay a few months back but hadn't had a chance yet to use.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always so fun to find mushrooms! I too stick to store bought ones for eating, but always enjoy seeing them growing in nature. These look gorgeous!
Oh, avevo perso questo post! Due card sceniche, le mie preferite!!La fata di Lavinia è davvero deliziosa con quello sfondo luminoso!! E la seconda card con i bambini e i cervi mi fa sorridere, che scena gioiosa!! Un bellissimo sapore di libertà!!
ReplyDeleteLe tue foto dei fughi sono bellissime, la natura ha sempre in serbo le sue meraviglie!
Un abbraccio!
I love the soft background on your fairy card, so beautiful. A very playful second card, frolicking in the sunshine. Positively good sized mushrooms too.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting
