No access, Spring Bunnies at play


Morning Peeps, Saturday again and this weeks Allsorts theme as selected by yours truly and transparent as always my theme had to be associated with Nature so it's Spring, simple as that. Our winner will receive an A5 AALL and Create stamp set courtesy of Stamper Grove.

As well as all the new growth and beautiful Spring flowers, there are two other things in particular which say Spring to me going right back to childhood, the first is Violets which grew in abundance under the hedges around the farm and second baby bunnies. When I moved to our current house many years ago, I transplanted some of those Violets and they still thrive in the garden today. As for the Bunnies, well we have an abundance of them in the paddocks and quite often, much to hubby's annoyance in the vegetable garden as well.

So today's post has some of both. Above a lolly stick plaque (made with jumbo lolly sticks) painted with Dylusions, some clouds with Pan Pastels then the scene built up using dies from Two Red Robins, A FluffleCrookedy Fence, gate from Summer Breeze and Ivy from End of the Lane (all available as individual dies as well as part of collections) along with the coordinatind reflection sheets. These are such a clever system. The sign is also a free reflection download.

My favourite tri fold die base yet again with AALL and Create Violet stamp set, stamped and coloured in three different colours onto an oxide and stencilled background. Wordage from various A&C sets.

Thought I would also share a couple more TRR makes which were showcased during the week, the floral flower box proved very popular. Funny story here, I saw something along these lines on Pinterest so spend ages creating the flower box with my score board, only to be told by my friend Pinky that she recently bought a die set which creates something very similar.


The array of Spring Flowers come from New Beginnings but as with almost all dies, available individually and sentiment from my own Believe n your Dreams.


Poppies called Scarlet Petal, DitsyToadstoolSummer Spokes, and Penny and Gus, not really sure which of the two this one is, I like to think it's Gus as the other is shy so probably Penny!!

I do hope you will join in at Allsorts this week and look forward to seeing what you create. Meanwhile have a good weekend and thanks for popping in today.

Buona Domenica, Brenda. Mi dispiace per gli ortaggi nel vostro giardino, ma i conigli sono animali così carini!!! :D Anche da me ci sono le violette, sono selvatiche e crescono sotto gli ulivi, sono fiori timidi e dolci.
Oggi una meravigliosa sorpresa con le tue creazioni, davvero evocativa della Primavera e ha illuminato la mia giornata. Qui il tempo è grigio e umido e promette molta pioggia (ma abbiamo bisogno di acqua, quest'inverno ha piovuto davvero pochissimo).
Deliziosa scena sugli stecchi da gelato, così carina con i coniglietti e il verde brillante!! Adoro i fustellati di Two Red Robins, sono così realistici!! Molto bello anche lo steccato e le piante, per non parlare del cielo con le nuvolette, davvero carino!
Il tuo trittico nei toni del viola con le violette a decoupage è splendido e vibrante!
La floral flower box è strepitosa con tutti quei bellissimi fiori e quel bordo è un dettaglio fantastico!!! Anche la carta patterned è deliziosa!
Io ho una fustella Sizzix Bigz per fare questo tipo di contenitore, è molto comoda perchè puoi tagliare anche materiali più duri come cartone ecc.
Adorabile anche l'ultima card con i fiori, i funghi e il topolino. Dolcissima!
Ti auguro una buona giornata, un abbraccio!

A wonderful post full of all things spring, I am loving all the beautiful spring flowers and there are so any of them, but my favorite is the first one, those bunnies are just so cute!! I can just imagine them sneaking into the garden. I had to put a little fencing around mine (it's a very small vegetable garden) to keep the bunnies out.
Still very cold here today but tomorrow it's supposed to finally warm up again and hopefully it will be the end of winter weather until December!

Fabulous cards all, lovely spring nature images and stamps;-))m

kiwimeskreations said...

A beautiful selection of cards Brenda - I do love that last one with the gorgeous textured panel in the aperture. That trifold one with the violets is exquisite - I too have a very soft spot for violets
Stay safe

Marlies said...

All beautiful cards Brenda. A very nice effect with the lollystick background adn lovely details on the scene with the rabbits, it reminds me of Peter Rabbit.
The second is so pretty, I have that trifold base die but still haven't used it, I must realy get is out. The spring flowers are amazing, so bright and cheerful and the ons with the toadstools lovely lovely too. ALl such great makes. Take care. Marlies x

Craftyfield said...

The TRR designs are amazing, I hate when dies leave a white border so these are great. As to the flower box die... I have been tempted because I find box construction difficult but realised that I would never make enough to justify the expense (watch this space for a manually constructed box from me...)

Carol L said...

What a wonderful array of beautiful cards showing spring with all those pretty flowers! I absolutely LOVE the bunny card with those painted lolly sticks in the background showing a beautiful scene! I just can't stop smiling over those adorable bunnies and violets :)

Rainey's Craft Room said...

A beautiful post full of Spring creations Brenda and those little bunnies are my favourite - always a soft spot for nature.

Vee Cassidy said...

What a plethora of Springness, Brenda. Those bunnies are pretty adorable and I love the reuse of lolly sticks. The triple fold is lovely and botanical and what a great box o'blooms. Morning temps have been below zero here but hopefully Spring will bounce back soon. Vee xx

HilaryJane said...

Love your clever bunny scene and how you have made it, I must learn something from you every week. That stencilled background on your tri fold card is just stunning and the purple is gorgeous and what an amazing envelope of flowers, so much detail, it must have taken a while to make. The little mouse exploring the poppy field in your last card is so cute. A really lovely collection this week. I think Spring is cheering us all up xx

Fikreta said...

oh wow!

papierelle said...

The violets are so pretty and I love them in the garden too x. What a beautiful of abundance of Spring flowers and I enjoyed reading your post Brenda x.

STUNNING PROJECTS!! I love the first; WOW what you did with popsicle sticks!

Sarah said...

WEll this lovely post has encompassed all that spring has to offer Brenda, glorious colour and fluffy bunnies!! Hope you are doing okay after your hospital stay. It was lovely to see some sunshine today. We were even able to leave our coats off when we walked the dogsthis afternoon. Wills also went out naked...that was a mistake!! xx

coldwaters2 said...

Hi Brenda how do I start this....WOW, WOW, WOW, I have missed seeing your beautiful creations I absolutely adore the top card with the Bunnies they remind me of the film Peter Rabbit, lol, I also love your story of the Violets this holds a special meaning for me as it is my mums name, so the panels look fantastic as do all those wonderful Spring flowers bursting out of the envelope and finally that wonderful little mouse and mushrooms isn't nature awesome. Thank you for the welcome back to blogland I just hope it can carry on from strength to strength,
hugs

Lorraine said...

Your cards are gorgeous Brenda, love all those pretty flowers and fabulous designs.
I wish Emma was going to the cricket nets...unfortunately she decided not to play. it turns out she had a lot of bullying from a couple of coaches and a player and bottled it all up. (I knew about some of it but not everything) The County cricket team have been amazing and are giving her lots of support. Fingers crossed she'll go back to it before the season starts.

Pauline C said...

Stunning designs Brenda ... I only just realised when I looked at this a bit bigger on my computer your first make is lolly sticks ... how clever and original!! Love the gorgeous colours and layout on the violets card too ... hope i will get my shaped die before too long :-) Your other cards are also very pretty - love the intricacies of the flower box.
Hope you had a great weekend

Such beautiful spring designs Brenda! I love the violets - it's a good year for violets around here with thick clusters of purple and white ones appearing on banks where I've not seen them previously. Vicky x

These cards are truly fantastic Brenda. Makes me feel like Spring is not fat away. I must be losing my mind as I was sure I commented on these mind blowing creations. Sign of getting old. 🤣
