A new month means new challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations. At WLS our theme has been selected by Pinky and is Four Legged Friends and at SS Lynn has chosen Feminine for her theme. We have prizes from Lavinia Stamps and Grafton Crafts.
Unusually for me a CAS design for my SS share, but this is such an elegant PB stamp called Gentle Whisper feel it needs little more than a masked border with soft inking and sentiment which is also PB. Colour was added to the stamp using Ecoline pens and stamping platform stamped 2/3 times to add depth of colour.
My WLS share features Lavinia's Lupin gazing into the sky and a scene built up using Tree Stem, Open Dandelion, Leaf Spray, Group Poppies, Snow Shrub and Fairy Path and a mixture of Clair and Element inks. I'm charing this at Lavinia's Secret Garden challenge.
Finally, my share for the Card Chain Challenge, all stamps Lavinia following the colour palette of Chocolate, Orange and Slate and the optional Rabbit, my card went to Pia in Norway and I received one also with a Rabbit from Robyn in Australia.
I'll leave you with a photo of the gangs new fly protectors, naturally selected by Anysia, why else would horses wear ones with Unicorns? Penelope and Merlin still had theirs on next morning, whereas Heskey had deposited his in the water trough, clearly not masculine enough for him.
Apologies I've not been around visiting too much, rather under the weather, only a couple of days migraine free since mid March and new diabetic injections not agreeing with other meds, so rather ropey. Going into hospital this week for some treatment.

So very sorry you have been unwell. Praying for healing. Love your cards , they are beautiful. Love the fly covers. Obviously they are not meant for a handsome boy. lol
WOW! Stunning cards, beautiful colouring on each and fabulous images too. As for the horses? Well so feminine for the gals, but honestly pink for the boy, of course he let it go. hahaha. Best of luck and I hope all goes well with your hospital admission, Hugs x
A trio of beautifully designed and stamped cards Brenda, 2 magical fairy scenes and lovely CAS floral card.
Love the photo of the horses wearing those very fetching fly protectors...maybe Heskey would have preferred a blue one!
Hope all goes well next week.

Each card is simply beautiful Brenda. Agree the top card needed nothing more than the light touch of ink at the corner.
Great pictures of the horse gang and their new attire.
Sincerely hope you feel better soon and hope the hospital stay isn't too onerous.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Love the PB card, and agree, that stunning bloom didn't need anything else, lovely Lavinia scenes with the rabbits.
I'm sure a Dinosaur fly protector would have gone down well with Heskey, especially in blue, better luck next time.

Your first card is so delicate and pretty Brenda and what a lovely sentiment! I love the two Lavinia ones, you do them so well. Each one tells a story. Your horses look bemused in their new fly masks lol. Sorry to hear you are so unwell. Take care. I hope the hospital can help ease it all!

I don't know how you make all these gorgeous cards and take photos (LOVE seeing the horses with their unicorn protectors) and write blog posts and deal with your medical issues. You're so gifted, Brenda and life is so unfair. Hope the treatments give you some relief.
The PB stamp doesn't need anything else, such beautiful stamps these watercolour images! Both Lavinia scenes gorgeous as usual... Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope they sort your meds soon. x

I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather, Brenda, and hope they can help when you go to the hospital.
You've come up with a fabulous collection of cards, despite your migraines. They are all so pretty, but my favourite is the first one - that lovely flower is coloured beautifully and I love the ethereal look you achieved.
Take care of yourself.

Your floral card designs are truly captivating, especially the elegant simplicity of the first one. The Lavinia scenes are beautifully detailed, each one telling a story with its dreamy atmosphere. Love the horses' fly masks—clearly, Heskey has his own fashion standards! Wishing you all the best with your hospital visit.
Gorgeous cards, Brenda! Especially love your take on the CCC colors! Fun horse photo too!!
