Robin in the ring


Morning Peeps, it's mid way inspiration time at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where both challenges are super busy with Christmas creations and why not as there are some super prizes to be won at both.

Two cards from me on a similar theme of seasonal wreaths as I slowly work my way into the style of AALL and Create stamps. Change, even when we we don't look for it can be good and much to my surprise it's opened up some exciting new avenues. Thankfully some can look beyond visual impairment and the associated inability to do Facebook.


This second one is all Lavinia stamps, a Gelli Plate background and stamping using Versafine Clair Chianti, you can't beat a good bodied Italian!!

So happy you are having inky fun with your new stamps, it is the stars that really caught my eye on the first card, but then it is all to do with Red Man Day! Scrolling down to the second just fell in love your have created something different, seasonal and fun here with great use of colour. I love it. btw you might want to check your sidebar badges and have a little update. xx

You created a fabulous and gorgeous card with your new stamps, Brenda, Facebook isn't for everyone and it's a shame it had to come to what it did, but like they say "when one door closes another one opens", so it all worked out for the best.
A beautiful Lavinia piece as well, you are so good with creating these scenes inside the wreaths!

Ciao Brenda, sono molto contenta di vedere che stai usando i tuoi nuovi timbri AALL e Create! L'uccellino con le stelle e la ghirlanda funzionano così bene assieme! Gli abellimenti 3D finiscono la card perfettamente, è così festiva!
I miei occhi vanno sulla card con i timbri di Lavinia, così magica e quell'inchiostro color Chiantiè delizioso, lo metto nella mia lista dei desideri :)
Un abbraccio!
