Foxy on the prowl and a Winter Butterfly


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday so a new challenge at Allsorts where Wendy is thinking all about Christmas. Our prize is a collection of seasonal ribbons and glitter and three images from Ruth Hamilton Design.  

To create this one I used several Lavinia worker stamps to create a partial wreath, stamped Lavinia Trees and Fox into the wreath, a masked sun, trees and shading and a Christmas sentiment which I think just might be from Inkylicious. I also made an envelope to match.


My second card is very much hot off the press as Ruth only finished this image yesterday so my card is a bit of a rushed one but I wanted to be able to show you her beautiful Winter Butterfly. On the Allsorts challenge blog I have also added the photos of Ruth's creation which inspired the image.

Have a good weekend and may thanks as always for popping in to take a peek.

Both are so beautiful Brenda, love your Lavinia wreath and the envelope is so pretty too and makes the card extra special! Can't tell the second is a rushed card, you've colored the pretty image so nicely and a really wonderful sketch, so perfect to show off the image!

La ghirlanda parziale con la piccola volpe e il sole è così bella e delicata, Brenda! Tu sai sempre trarre il meglio dai timbri di Lavinia! E ha anche la busta par completarla! ! Davvero deliziosa!
La farfalla invernale con l'agrifoglio è così delicata e interessante nel cervio scallop e mi piace lo sfondo diviso, bellissima card!
Un abbraccio, buona domenica!
