Morning all, it's time for our mid way inspiration at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations, our themes are New and I Spy with prizes from Tonic, Whimsy and Visible Image.
My 'New' is a recent purchase of an Andy Skinner stamp and I convinced the little boy has a New Kitten! Stamped, and coloured, then a stencilled wall and a Lavinia tree to build a little scene with him out playing with his new kitten. Would like to link this one to Stencil Fun where the optional extra is Four Legs. Popping to Crafty Calendar's Anything New challenge.
I've two B's, the first above for Blooms, this one using Visible Image Colourful Life and Precious Life stamped together to form one stem of flowers onto a masked central panel, a few additional splats stamped to extend the design, the flowers coloured and some soft stencilling in the background. One for the Floral theme at Dragonfly Dreams and another for Ellies' Garden Party 11 and Bright and Beautiful at Sweet Stampin'.
Love the scene built using the Andy Skinner stamp and the two floral (blooms) cards are pretty

It's definitely a new kitten Brenda, such a gorgeous stamp, you created a lovely peaceful scene with the extra stamp and stencilling a perfect entry for our challenge at Crafty Calendar. Both flower cards are beautiful- love the colours of the first one, so please you chose to share at Sweet Stampin'.
ReplyDeleteThe snowdrop card is stunning- just been in the garden looking for the first signs of ours- the shoots are just beginning to appear!

Great collection of cards, like your new stamp (first card) new 2nd card, lovely design, colors and background-great scene and the brick background is great, and lovely card for spring - it's in the teens here in Missouri so this gives me hope for warmer weather soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb set of cards Brenda, each with beautiful touches that make them so special. Love the boy with his kitten and the beautiful blooms on the other cards. x
ReplyDeleteA great scene you've built to enhance the AS stamp. Your pretty blooms look lovely in the purple but my fav is the snowdrops. Just love this card.
ReplyDeleteAll three are so gorgeous cards but my fave is the snowdrops, totally stunning.
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards, Brenda. My favourite is the snowflake card, just stunning.

Wow--such gorgeous cards, Brenda! I really adore the last one! How's the puppy doing or should I say, how are all of you doing?!
ReplyDeleteI love the stamp of the biy and kitten and it looks soo good in these colours! The snowdrops are blooming in our garden at the moment and I am so grateful that there are flowers to be seen again. Yours look great here on the card too! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI love the tranquil scene you created of the boy and his kitten, the colours and layout of the flowers, and the gorgeous snowdrops……who doesn’t love them?! Xxx
ReplyDeletePurrfectly pawsome 'new' card, I have a cat that would spend hours playing with a ball and catch like a dog...although on a smaller scale:-) and at least she always brought the ball back unlike the family dogs at the moment! 2 beautiful bloom cards x
ReplyDeleteAll fabulous cards Brenda. I like how you've added the brick wall and tree bits on the first one and your florals are both stunning x
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Brenda. Love the first image. Sending hugsa. ANesh
ReplyDeleteThree fantastic cards, Brenda! I love them all and especially how you used the blue and white for your snowdrops! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThis post is full of inspiration, Brenda and I enjoyed reading it. As does your last card for Color Hues, it is truly beautiful! Love the splattered background and of course the Snowdrops. Thanks for taking the time to join us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteOf course it's a new kitten Brenda, and that's such a lovely stamp, ones with lads on are rare. Our snowdrops have just opened but, I suspect, they might be a little bit bashed about by the morning, it's thrashing down and blowing a hoolie xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful trio of cards, Brenda. I love how you added so much to the first card to create such an evocative scene. The second card is so cheery and reminds me that summer will come again eventually. The final card is my favourite, though. I adore snowdrops, and it was such a great idea to use masking fluid on the flowers so you could add the background. I have some fluid somewhere if it hasn't dried up, and you have inspired me to try this technique.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well and that Fleur continues to thrive.
Hugs,
Carol x
Three beautiful cards Brenda, your new stamp looks great with the additions to make a lovely scene. Love the colour of the flowers in the second one and the snowdrops are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePat xx
All three cards are absolutely beautiful. The first one is so heartwarming with the boy and his new kitten, and such beautiful floral cards too, so nicely designed. So happy to see you at my Garden Party too!

ReplyDeleteDear Brenda, I stumbled across your blog and your beautiful cards and would love to ask for your help:
In this post "https://stamping-fantasies.blogspot.com/2025/12/scenic-at-allsorts.html"
at the very bottom, you show a magical tag with the sweet Lavinia fairy and a cute Lavinia mouse.
I'm looking for this tag die with the scalloped edge and intersecting stitched lines.
Please, could you help me and tell me where I can buy this lovely die (manufacturer, item number, item name)? I would be so grateful.
Please email me at stempelgaudi@email.de
Thank you so much and best wishes,
hopefully greetings from Momo
(sorry for the broken English, I used an internet translator)
Now I'll browse through your enchanting creations a little more and let myself be inspired by you and your ideas.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Momo
Really wonderful creations, Brenda!

ReplyDeleteSuch a joyful trio of makes, each with its own distinct mood yet all tied together by your thoughtful stamping and scene‑building. The little boy and his new kitten feel so alive in that softly stenciled setting, and the Lavinia tree adds just the right touch of whimsy. The masked floral panel is beautifully balanced, with the merged stems creating a striking focal point and the gentle stenciling giving it a lovely sense of depth. The snowdrops are especially enchanting, glowing against that cool, textured background with the snowfall drifting around them. A wonderful celebration of New and B themes, and a gorgeous showcase of your versatility.
ReplyDeleteWOW Brenda your cards are so beautiful, love all 3 - especially the snowdrop one.
ReplyDeleteHugs
