One for the Boys


Morning Peeps at  Allsorts  this week Tracy has the theme of 'From Boys to Men' and we have two Woodware stamps from Craft Stash as well as a second prize from Ruth Hamilton Design of three images from her store.

More inky fun and lots of stamps at play in my card above, Lavinia, Stampscapes, Inkylicious and even one from Clarity. An Oxide background, the scene built up with Versafine Clair in various colours and an envie to match.


My second card uses Ruth's new Scarecrow. A Pan Pastel background, stamps from Lavinia, and Card-i-o, the scarecrow coloured and his hat, boots and birdie printed off a second time to decoupage. In hindsight his boots defo need to be a deeper green because Hunter's they most certainly aren't and any self respecting Scarecrow wouldn't wear anything else!

Such beautiful cards Brenda, both such lovely autumn scenes! Still have Lavinia animals on my wish list as the only animal I have is a Lavinia cat, didn't realize they had a squirrel stamp too! Ruth's scarecrow is so perfect for this scene!

Vee Cassidy said...

These are both great cards I do love the autumn background - just wonderful. Sorry if the scarecrow feels his boots are not up to scratch, he will need to have a word with his valet ;) (Sorry, I am listening to too many Georgette Heyer books! ) Vee xx

They look great Brenda, love the scarecrow and he is in my stash too, but I suspect he won't be wearing Hunters either !!!!!!

And another fabulous pheasant!! It's been a while since I have seen a scarecrow and yours is a fine fellow, I shouldn't worry too much about the colour of hisHunters though, you can get them in all manner of colours these days!! xx

Sembra che io mi sia persa parecchi post! Meravigliosi colori solari e luminosi per questa scena naturale, il fagiano è molto bello e dettagliato e hai costruito davvero bene un angolo del tuo paradiso usando solo inchiostri e tanti piccoli timbri! :) Il tuo talento non manca mai di stupirmi, davvero stupenda!!! Anche la scena con lo spaventapasseri è deliziosa con quei colori pastello e che bel lavoro di decoupage!!

Love your Fall cards, Brenda! You are so good at making backgrounds--amazing!
