Morning Peeps, before I move onto our new challenge a few words about Kath who we lost last week. Devastating for her family, a huge loss to the craft world and everyone who knew her and on a personal note I grieve the loss of a friend. She crossed paths with so many of us and your heartfelt words on my Allsorts post last Sunday are most appreciated not least by her family who are very touched seeing how much she meant to so many.
So at Allsorts it's the last of our two week themes over the Summer period. Lorraine is our host with the theme of 'Add some Sparkle' and our prize this week comes from WOWVOW offering a £15 voucher from the varied range of goodies on their website.
Fairies for my DT pieces which of course are Lavinia, at the top a simple design with an oval inked through a mask and then the Toadstool, Fairy and Buds stamped with it still in place. A sentiment which is a really old one from Stamp Addicts and the buds and wings glittered.
A chipboard tag inked with Oxides, a masked moon and the Fairy and foliages stamped in black and glitter added to the wings and Chinese Lanterns.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Such a beautiful card B! I'm trying to write a few words about Kath for my own blog for tomorrow's post and the floodgates are open again. Your words are lovely and it's clear how the loss of Kath will reverberate for some time.

What a beautiful sentiment on your card and I love the sparkles on your CAS design, so striking. A lovely tag - so colourful and sparkly too.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful Lavinia creations Brenda. Especially loving the first one with the pop of red but the tag really is equally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, love the soft inked oval on the first and the beautiful inking on the second. Wish it was easier to see the shine on the photos as I reckon it is pretty special on the first card. Love how you have used white to highlight on the second xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely bit of sparkle on your card and tag. Fabulous colours on them both too xx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful Lavinia cards Brenda
ReplyDeleteAnne
Ooooooh! Lovely! I especially LOVE the colors in your tag and the inking around your round mask. Beautifully done, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteChe tristezza la perdita di Kath! Mi dispiace davvero tanto.
ReplyDeleteLe tue creazioni fatate sono straordinarie come sempre, l'ovale crea davvero un bel punto focale per la fata sul fungo! Bella scelta di colori, catturano l'occhio! Il sentiment ondulato è un'altra ottima scelta.
La tag è la mia preferita di oggi, che splendidi colori vibranti!!! Una scena meravigliosa con la fata che suona la sua tromba-fiore e quell'edera che scende dall'alto stagliandosi contro la luna! Gli Alchechengi (le lanterne cinesi) danno molta eleganza!
Un abbraccio grande, buon weekend!
Two beautiful creations, Brenda. Lavinia stamps are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to know that Kath's family realise how much she meant to the blogging crafting community. She will be missed by so many of us. xx
Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to loose a friend. Love the sparkle added to the fairies--beautiful cards, Brenda!

I was thinking that the comments left on last week's Allsorts post would have been a great comfort to Kath's family. She meant a lot to our crafting community.
ReplyDeleteYour card and tag are stunning with just the right amount of sparkle!
