Robins and Fairies


Morning Peeps, it's mid month inspiration time at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Christmas and Make it Magical. Prizes are Sweet Die dies from Aldridge Crafts at WLS and Lavinia stamps and stencil at Stamping Sensations.

Eventually I've got more samples made using the new Lavinia Starlight Whispers collection and you might think you've see the one above before as it's very similar to one I shared Saturday (that had more stamping on the frame and different sentiment). These Robins in the collection are called Bobby and Jemima and firm favourites, to build up the scene I used several older stamps Mini HollyFir Tree and Seasonal Words and Mini Holly, puff up snow and lots of glitter. 


Again using the new Starlight Whispers collection, along with Arch of Angels, Fir Tree, Fairy Path and Seed Heads, for the background Elements and Pan Pastels which combine together really well, PP's are always a bit hit and miss with Oxides due to the chalkiness of the latter. Both of the above have lots of sparkle although not evident in my photos but both will fit the current Lavinia challenge of 'Time to Sparkle', why not join in with your sparkly Lavinia stamped creations, you have until 25th November for the chance of winning a £40 voucher.


Another of those Robins, along with the Lamppost from the new collection (link above), same sentiment as above, plus Holly, Woodland Fern and Fairy Path.


Finally, Eve inside a partial wreath made with Fir Cone Branch, several Lavinia mini stamps and a circle created using various sized dies which I drew round with a quickie glue pen and brushed over with gold gilding Tilsen. The sentiment is Penny Black.

Last week I mentioned RM had lost a parcel from Lavinia with new goodies, ten days on and they still have no idea of the location of their tracking photo showing a front door and hand taking delivery, what is for sure is some (underhand) person is sitting on it, wonder if they have any clue what to do with stamps, inks and glitter.

Another lovely selection of cards showcasing how well the new release and old stamps all work together. Beautiful compositions and inkiness xx

Wow, you've certainly been busy using your new stamps and some lovely older ones to combine with them. All beautiful - love the robins, which might need to fly in this direction. What a mystery about your missing parcel and odd that the recipient hasn't returned it to Royal Mail - surely that's the natural and logical thing to do with something wrongly delivered 🙄.

Chris said...

Such lovely creations using your beautiful Lavinia stamps- both new and old!
Wonder where those stamps are and who has them - some people are just not nice!!!

So sad that the person who took delivery of your parcel hasn't returned it to Royal Mail. A wonderful selection of tranquil Christmas stamped cards Brenda,

What a treat so many Lavinia cards! Love the last one best, don't now why, maybe the wreath?
Sad to hear that you lost a parcel; most people would't know what to do with stamps and glitter... wish they would simply say that it was wrongly delivered... Hugs, Gerrina

Sorry your stamps are still missing. More lovely work with the robins and the one with the door is a charming scene. The partial wreath is so pretty too.

All beautiful cards and beautiful selection of stamps-love them all. Surely the postman should know where he delivered the parcel too as they all have their own rounds, too!!!and the person who took it must have known it wasn't their name and address!!!

I like your latest collection of pretty cards, and am especially fond of those plump and cute robins! I hope your order will be replaced and delivered to the correct address next time. It's a shame there are those who take advantage of errors but unfortunately it still happens.

Fabulous cards Brenda, I love the new robins and of course Annie and Edward, who look perfect standing under the lamppost.
Can't believe the person hasn't handed your parcel back to RM, they should be making door to door enquiries - those stamps are precious.

Your collection of cards is absolutely enchanting! The "Robins and Fairies" card with Bobby and Jemima is so charming, especially with the added sparkle and puffed-up snow. The "Arch of Angels" card has a beautiful background created with Elements and Pan Pastels. The "Lamppost" card featuring the new collection and the "Eve in the Wreath" card with the gold gilding Tilsen are both delightful.

Dora said...
