Morning everyone, this post was already scheduled but want to add a big thank you for all the well wishes and cards, I haven't thanked you individually so hope you will accept my thanks here, I really appreciate every one. Unfortunately I'm not totally sorted so remain on 'light duties'.
There's a new challenge at Allsorts which will again run for two weeks over the Summer holiday period. Sarah is our host and has selected the theme of Summer Days, or of course there's the A/G option. Three prizes for this fortnight from Stampendous.
My Summer Days had to be associated with the garden and what better than the daily activity down the bottom of ours where the Fairies are always at play........so are the Bees, there is a nest under one of the sheds. This one from the new Lavinia Sunbloom collection with Lumus talking to one of the Bees (from Bumblehump) amidst Moss Flowers across the top and Shadow Bloom at the bottom. I am linking this to Lavinia Favourite Colours challenge, in reality I love working with all colours but those with an Autumnal hue do always satisfy.
A die cut arch mounted over an inky base and die cut honeycomb across the bottom. Some colouring using Ecoline pens and an envie to match. The words across the top from Bumble Words.
One more using the Bees from the same Sunbloom collection along with Open Dandelion inked direct to stamp and repeat stamped on a masked panel, Ivy, Marine Kelp and Bumble and Hum.

A couple of gorgeous cards - those bees look so real - they just might have to buzz along to join my Lavinia collection 😊. Take care and make sure you stick to your light duties only - what better than a quiet play with stamps and ink 😉
Love both cards Brenda. Take it easy and praying for healing. Hugs Anesha
Absolutely perfect summer days cards Brenda, I am off to buy any Bumble associated stamps!! xx
Beautiful sunny colours and images Brenda,a friend's has a couple of bee hives and I have to say I love her honey. Best wishes for a full recovery.
Two beautiful summery cards … love the happy colours and the magical new Lavinia stamps. Hope you will soon be feeling better, take it easy xx
What you've done to portray summer is just delightful with your Lavinia fairy image. The details are simply amazing. Those giant bumble bees on the 2nd card look happy with all of the flowers and stems too. Both cards are so pretty. Wishing you speedy healing as you recover and hopefully soon you'll be feeling much better than you have been. Hugs and prayers.
Two amazing cards Brenda, absolutely stunning. I have these beautiful bee stamps, just need some time to get my inks out and play.
Hope your recovery continues to go well.

Lovely framing on the first card of your pretty scene and matching envelope. Your second one is so delightful. I bought the dandelions but not yet used them, thanks for the inspiration.

Both are so beautiful and perfect summer garden creations and I love the shades of yellow used! All the best to you as you continue to recover and hope you can take things easy, I know how it is when we want to get back to work fully but most importantly it is to get well!

Two beautiful summery creations using your lovely Lavinia stamps, love the combination of bees and fairies. Look after yourself- get plenty of rest and don't try to do too much too soon.

Ooh...fabulous Lavinia scenes! There's my inspiration for this weekend's crafting... Hope you feel better soon Brenda. x
Lovely cards. I particularly like the bees with the wildflowers and inked frame. Hope everything sorts itself out for you soon xx
Just beautiful!
I think the fairies in the garden may have been scared away by the wasps; which are nasty this year!
The bees are busy though!
Gorgeous! Love them both. Take care xxx
Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery, albeit on light duties at the moment
Two beautiful cards Brenda - your eye for colour, detail and design is amazing
Blessings
