Morning Peeps, there are new challenges at Rudolph Days and Snippets Playground so my entries for both starting with the top one, a Winery scene using a number of Lavinia stamps.
I created the sky first using Elements, next added the stamping using Versafine Acorn, applied more ink around the edges, some snowy mounds and colour to the berries and mistletoe. In hindsight the Robin's a tad large in comparison to the Pheasant, artistic licence!! I would like to share this at The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge and Christmas Kickstart challenge. And as I made my own background, Simon Say's Monday challenge.
For my snippets share I utilised some odds and ends of Kraft, a foray that told me I have no whole A4 sheets left so need to order some. There was just about enough to make a tag which also serves as a timely reminder that there are just three days left to enter before our July challenge ends at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge. So if you've not entered pr want to add another we would love to see you, theres a super set of tag dies for our lucky winner as well as the chance to be selected as a DT Favourite.
A base white tag, Kraft frame and a little scene using Lavinia's new Twilight Tea collection. I'll admit when these first arrived I knew I would do lots with the Sunflowers but not so sure about the teapots, I've never drunk tea and only espresso coffee as I've been allergic to milk since I was weaned so the appeal wasn't great. But much to my surprise I've used them quite a lot - along with flowers of course. This will also fit the current Lavinia One Upon a Time challenge. I would like to enter Try it on Tuesday with my tag.
And below my snippets....
That’s a stunningly lovely scenic RD card Brenda.
ReplyDeleteLove your teapot/floral snippety tag too.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse shortly for your first Espresso of the day! xxx
What a beautiful winter scene you created Brenda - just lets say the robin is all fluffed up because of the cold... ;)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene on your Christmas card. Rudolph Days challenge GDT x
ReplyDeleteA lovely wintery scene for Rudolph Days and I love the Teapot tag. Interesting to find someone else who doesn't drink tea, no reason really except that I just don't like it and never have. Happy Rudolph Days.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Christmas scenery card, so many beautiful details. Your tag is beautiful, good colors and like the second generation stamping!

ReplyDeleteI do love the colours on your tag. Beautiful. Your winter scene is very crisp and clena as though the snow has only just stopped xx
ReplyDeleteLovely winter scene!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is great, I love the teapot!
What a beautiful scene, I didn’t even notice the sizes, the robin is adorable. Fabulous tag too xxx
ReplyDeleteThe winter scene feels like a magical stroll through frosty vineyards—your layering of Lavinia stamps and snowy details is absolutely enchanting. That robin may be oversized, but it brings such charm and character! And your tag? Pure whimsy. The Twilight Tea collection has never looked cozier—like a tiny fairy cottage nestled in a sunflower garden. You’ve transformed snippets into a storybook moment, and it’s delightful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful winter scene Brenda, very creative and I love the tag, so pretty. xx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful creations Brenda loving both of them but my favourite has to be the festive one the scene you have created is awesome

ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful! Love how you used the Lavinia stamps on the first one for a winter card! (Inspiration for me) Glad to see how you used the teapot on the 2nd one; that is also a great way to use it. Hope you have a fun weekend! Hugs, Gerrina

This is a beautiful card Brenda. It makes me feel cold-which is good since our weather is too hot right now. And I like your latest tag too. I'd love to be small enough to live in a teapot house. Hope the rest of your weekend is good (as it is probably almost over) and have a nice start tot he new week. hugs-Erika
