Luka on the lookout


Morning everyone, time for new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Fabulous Florals as selected my me (transparent as ever) and a Mood Board along with the usual option of AG with your stamped element. 

At We Love Stamping we have a whole host of prizes to give away as we celebrate 15 years of the challenge blog, it's changed names along the way but still dedicated to stamping and even one or two original DT's. At Stamping Sensations there are some recent Lavinia releases to be won.

Above I've used stamps from this months Lavinia release along with several others and a first outing for some of the new Versafine Clair colours. It's the colours and Digitalis that I have take from the mood board at SS to build up my scene.


My WLS card using one of AALL and Creates DL border stamps, I really like the size of these and it's rather a shame they no longer produce this size and the one I have used here now sold out. An Oxide background, colour to the stamped image, some twine and words from Power of the Word (754).


And this has to be a first, I've actually got the right day to share my May exchange in the Card Chain Challeng following the colours of gold, raspberry and blueberry along with the added stencil option. I used Lavinia's new large Pixie Boot stamp along with lots of smaller worker stamps, my card went to Jo. By sheer coincidence the colours also fit rather nicely with our mood board at Stamping Sensations.

Really hope you will join us this month.

What a wonderful trio of pretty cards! The first is so colorful with all of those wonderful stamped elements, and the yellow background on the 2nd card is striking and lovely with those colored flowers. The show/boot is fabulous with the mouse running up the tiny ladder and I love how you colored the background! Each card is a true beauty and congrats on 15 years of blogging with We Love Stamping too!

Ciao Brenda,
non so come mai il tuo post e alcuni altri delle ragazze del team oggi non mi sono comparsi nell'elenco lettura dei blogs che seguo. Arrivo qui direttamente da WLS, mi pareva troppo strano che tu non avessi pubblicato!!
Grazie per la spiegazione su RSPCA, forse me lo avevi già spiegato ma non me lo ricordavo! Vorrei che anche qui in Italia ci fosse un'iniziativa del genere!
Meravigliosi nuovi colori Versafine Clair, io ne ho solo cinque e mi riprometto sempre di acquistarne altri, perché sono inchiostri davvero buoni! La porta socchiusa del giardino incantato attira davvero l'attenzione con quell'alone giallo luminoso, vorrei salire le scale e sbirciare dentro! La fatina e il gatto forse aspettano visitatori! Bel senso di profondità e che stupendo arco di foglie in alto e sulla busta!
La card per l'anniversario di WLS è così luminosa!! Devo tirare fuori la mia piccola collezione di Oxides, è da tempo che non li uso! Il timbro è delizioso, davvero un peccato che sia fuori produzione! Stupenda scelta di colori. Il sentiment è bellissimo e ammiro sempre molto come arrangi il filo sulle tue card e non si vede nemmeno un pochino di colla! Questa per me è una vera magia! LOL :D
Lo stivale del folletto è meraviglioso, lo metterei volentieri ma credo che la punta arricciata mi farebbe inciampare LOL Una scena divertente e carina con le fatine e quel topo sulla scala, forse vorrebbe entraci dentro?
Un abbraccio e spero che davvero da te sia finalmente arrivato un po' di sole per rallegrarti la Domenica!!

Stunning trio of cards Brenda. I absolutely adore the scene you have created with the new Lavinia stamps … I haven’t ordered any of them yet as I seem to have so many other unused or barely used stamps … but I can definitely see how fabulous they can look. A very pretty A&C floral card too, and your pixie boot is indeed quite magical, particularly with the gorgeous graduated colour background

Julia Aston said...

Three beautifully design cards here Brenda! What a beautiful doorway you created on the first, a lovely spray of orange blooms on the 2nd - love the woven thread through it! And your Card Chain card is so fun with that wonderful pixie boot in the challenge colors with the mouse and fairies! Julia xx

HilaryJane said...

What great cards this week. I love how each one has a different colour that really shines out. Very clever xx

Angelnorth said...

A fun CCC card Brenda, love the little silhouette characters exploring the giant boot! The other cards are beautiful too, lovely vibrant colours.

Glennis F said...

Three wonderful cards, Brenda. I especially love the Lavinia scenes and the little mouse climbing onto the boot is so cute.

2 totally different gorgeous cards, love the foxgloves on the lavinia card and love the full on sunshine vibe on the floral x

EmmaT said...

........and the boot which has suddenly appeared - blogger is having fun at the moment i think! Love that boot with the little fairies

Linby said...

Love the colour palette on your first card and the design. I am hovering over those corner stamps, can't decide! They look brilliant on your card. The beautiful colours of your A&C card and lovely oxide background is so pretty. Finally the whimsical shoe and again lovely colour palette.

Dotty Jo said...

Wow, beautiful cards, Brenda! I love the card you sent me, and it was much admired by my coffee and cake group who visited just after it arrived. My friends are fascinated by the whole cardmaking 'thing' and asked so many questions about how you'd created your card. Thanks for being a link in our chain of crafting and friendship, and I hope you are feeling better now, Jo x

Conny said...

Woow.. amazing cards, Brenda! Love the Lavinia stamps!

Hugs

Ellibelle said...

Such a great assortment of cards Brenda, all three are so beautifully made but my absolute favorite is the one with the yellow blossoms on the yellow inky background.

KraftyKoolKat said...

I love all of these beautiful cards Brenda. I adore the one made with all the different Lavina stamps. I would be a nervous wreck that I would mess the scene up with the placing of the very last stamp I used. A lot of beautiful but hard work has gone into all three of these cards.
Hugs

Fabulous cards Brenda, love the little doorway scene, colours are so pretty with the new inks and the Lavinia boot is stunning. The floral one is beautiful and I love the citrus colours you've used.

Mervi said...

Gorgeous cards,
Happy WLS birthday, thanks for all;-))m

Lisa said...

Your Lavinia stamps paired with the new Versafine Clair colors create such a magical scene, beautifully inspired by the SS mood board. Each card has its unique charm, from the intricate DL border stamp and Oxide background to the whimsical Pixie Boot design with gold, raspberry, and blueberry accents—each detail is so thoughtfully crafted!

Craftyfield said...

Great ideas in both Lavinia scenes and, as usual, lovely AALL card Brenda! x

Helen said...

Beautiful scene - so much depth.
