Good morning, Saturday so time for a new theme at Allsorts and Gail has chose the theme of 'Food and/or Drink'. Prize come from AALL and Create.
So Pears and Nuts are food right? I have very little in the way of food related stamps so opted for this A&C image which I stamped, applied masking fluid then flooded the surrounding area with watered down DI. Removed the masking and added some light colouring to the image and some background stamping. I have a jar of these little metal clips so added three onto die cut circles.
Was worried the top card may be a tad too removed from the theme so created this in MCS, the Bunny family are sitting under the Horse Chestnut at the top of my garden having a picnic......indulge me. We do have three beautiful Horse Chestnuts and lots of Bunnies although they seem diminished in numbers lately, some of their holes have evidence of vigorous digging so figure the Fox fraternity are hungry with no Hens within reach.
I've been rather tardy making a start with the new Lavinia Starlight Whispers collection, did make my apologies to Noni when we spoke yesterday as I had planned cracking on after my kidney op, then last week had a UTI, something I hoped was behind me after that. But this week I've got some samples finished which I will be sharing over the next week or so.
Here are Bobby and Jemima the Robins, you'll find them following the link above. This one is for the Snippets Playground and the Path of Positivity challenge, the sentiment is from my Christmas Seasons stamp set available here which I think is fitting for their current option of Friends/Family.
My snippets, well, all are pieces from an A3 sheet of card, history of this is that I dropped one of my new Element ink pads (did say I have trouble holding them!) right in the middle of the sheet intended to cut a large card base. Those who use them know how juicy they are so I spritzed with water and put aside in the hope it would come in useful one day, could call it a very large snippet.
Rather shallow of me but I started with the stamps that appeal to me the most from the new collection and have used some repeatedly to make quite a few different designs, I've yet to ink up the tree house and little houses, they will get their outing soon.

Must admit my brain went straight to chocolate when I started reading your title but pears and hazelnuts ARE food and it's a super card, as is the one with the bunnies enjoying their picnic. Those robins are great stamps and I look forward to seeing what you make with the other new stamps in the set. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather again this week. Take care.
Both your cards for Gail's theme at Allsorts are lovely Brenda. I particularly like the first one.
Your Robins Christmas card is gorgeous - and thanks for sharing a pic of the snippets.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for Early Morning Breakfast Club shortly. xxx
Nuts and pears are definitely food, love your background on this one. The bunnies enjoying their picnic are adorable and the robin card is beautiful. Sorry to read that you had a UTI,
I love all of your cards the backgrounds are astounding colours are so warming too xx
All beautiful cards and stamps, love the Robins and cute bunnies but must admit the first one is my favourite.
