More Robins and an awesome sky


Morning all, it's mid way inspiration time at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where we have the themes of Red and Green and Fantasy with prizes from Visible Image and Lavinia Stamps.

Above a lolly stick base, spritzed with a mixture of Dylusions and Oxide sprays, texture paste and a stencil to add snowflakes and Visible Image Christmas Robin stamped, coloured and cut out with the matching die set. I would like to link to the Christmas themes at Sisterhood of Crafters, The Male Room, Creative Artiste and As You Like It challenges.


My SS card above uses Lavinia Rogue, Vine Branch and Wild Poppies, I masked the border, drew in a half frame with a fine liner, masked again to add some stencilling in the background and then stamped the Poppies, leaves and Fairy using Versafine Clair. Linking this one to Beautiful Blossoms and Heartsquest Fantasy (link to Becca's new blog).


This was the amazing sky above the garden cabin just before eight AM yesterday morning, it was frosty with black ice and a low laying mist, as the old saying goes "pink sky at night Shepard's delight, pink sky in the morning Shepard's warning".

Love the fabulous lolly stick background with the Robins and beautiful Lavinia stamped scene. We have had a couple of blazing red sunrises but my phone will not take a decent pic for some reason!

A sweet project with the lolly sticks and robins Brenda, the bright colours are very pretty. The Lavinia card is fabulous- a great choice of stamps and colours - I really like the border (very effective!) and the subtle background stencilling.
Hope Fleur is continuing to do well.
