Morning everyone, here we are in 2024 and our first challenge of the year at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are as always Anything Stamped with options of Something New and a Mood Board. Prizes come from Stampendous and AALL and Create.
We are taking a new approach at both challenges and 2024 will see individual DT's highlighted through some of the challenges. I won't bore you with the precise details here as all is explained on both challenge blogs.
Both shares made a few weeks ago before this latest MS hissy fit set in, above new Lavinia stamps along with Bumble Lodge and a few other worker stamps onto a masked and inked panel. I stamped and cut out the sign to place outside the frame and of course glitter on the Fairy to finish.
Two wonderful stamped cards Brenda. The first one especially is absolutely stunning. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth so stunning cards, beautiful indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year;-))m

ReplyDelete2 beautiful cards Brenda, I particularly love the fabulous intricacy of detail on the Lavinia card … so much to look at it’s wonderful!
ReplyDeletePauline xx
As always your cards are inspirational Brenda two absolute beauties,thank goodness for your kind words
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the charming fairy-tale scene of the first card with all those wonderful images and golden colors! The next card is bright and cheerful and a great way to bring joy to anyone's day. Beautiful creations! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteA magical scene with your beautiful Lavinia stamps , I love the golden glow to this one. The paper-pieced flower on the second really jumps out and I always admire the way you mix and match your stamps and stencils so perfectly- love the envelope too!

Both amazing cards as always Brenda x
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Brenda though I had trouble getting past the 1st one as I could look at it for ever! So interesting and of course stunning!....well its Lavinia! The 2nd card is lovely with plenty of interest too and good paper piecing. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your Lavinia make, so pretty. I have my eye on that signpost! Your second card is so beautiful and lush colours too. I didn't see the appeal of the frame until I've seen you use it and it's very effective.
ReplyDeleteLe tue scene di fate sono sempre così straordinarie, Brenda!! Magiche, ma al tempo stesso così realistiche, come se tu scattassi una foto a questo mondo nascosto... Questa card è davvero formidabile, la fata che cammina in punta di piedi e le lepri che aspettano incuriosite... sta per accadere qualcosa di magico sicuramente!! Mi piacerebbe sapere il seguito della storia, sono molto curiosa anche io :D LOL Colori e profondità stupendi e quei cartelli fuori scena aggiungono ancora maggiore dimensione. Un vero spettacolo.
ReplyDeleteBellissima anche la card per SS, quel frame grunge fa emergere così bene il bellissimo fiore e quel bordo nero scarabocchiato!
Spero che la pioggia da te si plachi e la terra abbia modo di assorbire tutta l'acqua. Non è carino dover prendere una barca per uscire di casa... A parte a Venezia, ovviamente :D
Un abbraccio, buona settimana!
What an eye catching scene in the first card!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bumble cottage and sign!
The flower in the second just pops!
Feel better soon!
Two very gorgeous cards Brenda. The red one just pops off the screen! I hope you feel much better very soon.
ReplyDeleteLove that scene on the first card. Those lovely warm tones work brilliantly and the bright pink on your second card really cheers up this grey day. thank you xx
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Brenda both of your cards are stunning, I love the colour pallet of your Lavinia card and the little scene is fabulous, and a great choice of stamps too.
ReplyDeleteYour second card is so beautiful, I love that gorgeously coloured flower. Your design is wonderful, Kate x
Two absolutely stunning cards Brenda - Love them both.

ReplyDeleteLove how you combined the older and newest Lavinia stamps on your first make! And love the warm colors! The stenciling on the 2nd makes the flower really pop; like that so much! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteThey both are absolutely wonderful, love how your Lavinia scene came together with all the fun stamps, you can never go wrong with bunnies and faires and I love your beautiful floral card just the same. Fun new challenge concept at both challenges too!
