Stargazing in the secret garden


Morning Peeps, it's mid way time at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where our themes are Feminine selected by Lynn and Four Legged Friends chosen by Pinky. Some gorgeous prizes for four lucky winners from Lavinia Stamps and Grafton Crafts


Stamps on both cards come from Lavinia Stamps, no links again I'm afraid, as explained in my previous post, whilst all went to plan and seeing the benefits of reduced pain, fighting an infection and my mojo has taken a hike! Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon. Just noticed the above looks rather blurry, not sure why as fine irl. 

I noticed on a fellow DT's post the theme at Cards 4 Galz is Fantasy and as we have Fairies in the garden also Ellies Garden Party, so felt I should link the top card to both.

Gorgeous arched card, love the little fairy sat on the post and fabulous fun mice & cat design. I think infections on top of everything else is usually one thing too many so the body and mind need time out - hopefully as the infection improves the mojo will return. You have had alot to process lately. Big hugs Emmax

Gerrina said...

Love both projects! The tag is do whimsical and those mouses are always up to all kinds of things... Love how the cat is so quietly sitting and looking!
Not fine to read that you are not feeling well... so logocal that your mojo has gone around the corner for a while... that will be back when you're not fighting that much!
Funny you think of me with the baby squirrels; would love to see them (is a long time ago).
Hope you are better soon! Sending some energy your way! Hugs, Gerrina

What a glorious scene on your first card, such pretty soft colours. Your second card is fun with the cat watching the mice at place. I wonder if it's the cat's dream you are thinking of!

Pat said...

Two gorgeous cards Brenda, love the fairy in the secret garden and all your cute mice in the second.

You are so good at creating gorgeous scenes, Brenda and these are no exception. The arch shape is so pretty as a background for your evocative scene, and the second card is just full of fun. I'm loving those cheeky mice!

These creations are simply enchanting. The arched design and whimsical fairy make for such a magical scene, while the playful mice and cat bring a charming touch to the second card. Wishing you strength and recovery—your talent shines through, even when you're facing challenges.
