Morning Peeps, it's the first Sunday of the month which means the start of our new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are 'Anything Stamped with option of Roses' and 'Make it Masculine'. At both challenges there are three prizes to be won, at the first from Colemans who are sadly closing, I have demoed so many times over the years and will miss their craft warehouse, the other is from Craft Stash.
Above I used a couple of rather neglected Penny Black stamps, the Rose and Venetian Summer along with one of my own sentiments. After stamping the Rose I cut around the top elements and then placed an oval die behind the cut section so it rested over the aperture. Minimal colouring, a second oval aperture and finito.
Here we have AALL and Create Little Wren, stamped very simply onto a background splattered with some Oxide, the letter W stamped in the same ink, some washi tape and word from another A&C set.
As some of you know, Thursday was the wedding of Anysia our eldest Granddaughter which was re-scheduled from 2020. This time a totally different style of wedding to what was planned the first time round, it was the first I had attended in a Civil location but it was lovely. The venue was a beautifully restored circa 17th Century Tudor Mansion set in amazing grounds and 18 elegant rooms where we and close family stayed over part of the long weekend.
The weather was beautiful so the ceremony took place outside in the Bandstand with guests seated on white chairs.
The Brides family and siblings, Brother Zachary is getting married in August and sister Azaria next July so plenty more opportunities for new outfits and hats!
Some of my lovely offspring and other halves, there should be one with all of them when we see the formal photos. But I'm still the shortest of the bunch.
In the intervening two years baby Margo came along and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
And it's 'cheers' from me with a peach belleni!

Ciao Brenda, prima di tutto voglio dirti che mi fa molto piacere vedere le belle foto del matrimonio di Anysia e che il tempo è stato soleggiato!! Dato che adesso da voi sta piovendo, è stata una bella fortuna!!! :) Stupenda location!!
Bella la foto del tuo brindisi!! :D La sposa e le damigelle hanno il tuo stesso sorriso!! Forse una delle damigelle non ha il tuo sangue, ma la somiglianza c'è lo stesso! :D Margo è una bimba così solare e deliziosa, davvero una cucciola adorabile!!!
La card Veneziana è stupenda in monocromo, originale e decisa! L'ovale ci sta d'incanto!
L'altra CAS è molto particolare nel tuo inconfondibile stile del momento e il tocco di washi tape aggiunge interesse all'intera creazione!
Ti auguro una buona Domenica rilassante dopo tutte le ultime fatiche!! :)

Two gorgeous creations Brenda. I tried to get that stamp from Penny Black but it was sadly not produced anymore. Thank you so much for sharing the lovely wedding photos. She is a beautiful girl, you must be proud of her. Awesome babe as well. You look gorgeous and happy in your wedding outfit. Cheers to you too, with Coke of course from me! 🤣
Hugs

the cards are fabulous but it's lovely to see the photos of the wedding, thanks for sharing - everyone looks beautiful.
A long while ago you, way back in the early days of me visiting the PB Challenge, 'forced' me to buy that gorgeous PB Venetian Summer stamp - and it still stuns me whenever I see you use it. OK, so I forced myself to buy the stamp but it's always looked so elegant however it's used - and you did a great job. But, onto the wedding - what gorgeous photos B and so lovely to see you looking so well and happy. Love the dress and hat! Everyone, bride, Margo, ladies, chaps and the bridesmaids (dresses are simply beautiful!). Such a divine colour and so perfect with the flowers of course.
Hugs

It looks as though you had the perfect day weather wise, the bride and bridesmaids look gorgeous and little Margo looks such a cheeky little cutey with her smile. It's good to see you have a glass in your hand on both photos :) x

So nice to see a glimpse of the wedding, I can imagine it was a magical day enjoyed by all and seeing little Margo's smile I have no doubt!
Congratulations and all the best to the newly married couple!
Your cards are so pretty, I've always loved seeing that gorgeous Venetian lady stamp on your blog, glad you brought it out to play!
Wonderful cards, love the Venetian one with the bold red and the double oval aperture, very effective. I must remember that trick. Your second card is so lovely and simple, I am loving seeing how you use those AALL and Create stamps. Thanks too for sharing some photos of a very special wedding. Everyone looks beautiful and very happy, and the sun shone, which was a lovely bonus for you all xx
2 fab cards as always Brenda - very stylish Venetian scene with the pops of red and perfect sentiment, and gorgeous treatment of the A&C bird.
Thanks for sharing the pics of the wedding - everyone looks so well, happy and fabulous! It must have been very stressful having to rearrange and wait so long, but it all obviously turned out brilliantly on the day. So lovely to see the radiant bride and groom with Margo looking so well, and you in your glamorous outfit downing the peach bellini - cheers!
