Good morning to you all, our first challenge of the New Year at Allsorts and Helen has selected the theme of Winter Animals. We have a prize of Christmas Robin stamp and matching dies, in fact exactly the same as what I've used above from Visible Image.
I used a Lavinia tree and twigs to build up the snowy scene, stamped some Holly into the tree, then stamped, coloured and cut out the Robin and large Holly using offcuts raised on foam pads to finish the Winter scene. The word Winter is AALL and Create.
A second share using Penny Black Woodland Pair, I kept the card very simple as it's such a beautifully detailed image, an inky background to set the scene and the image stamped and placed inside an arched card and aperture.

Your winter robin card is lovely, but the scene stealer is the Penny Black card. Gorgeous!
Happy New Year to you xxx
Both are simply beautiful Brenda, I love the shapes too. xx
Both cards are beautifully composed, each with its own quiet strength. The robin scene feels wonderfully layered, with the Lavinia branches creating such natural depth around the focal bird. The Penny Black pair has an entirely different kind of presence, the arched aperture framing the image in a way that makes the inky background glow. A lovely start to the year with two pieces that show how effective contrast in structure and style can be.
Your cards are always just amazing, Brenda. You always create such beautiful scenes. Jo x
Happy New Year Brenda. Super cards, the robin is lovely but I have a particular fondness for the shaped deer card as I look at it still on my mantlepiece...thank you xx
Both cards beautifully stamped and designed Brenda, a lovely combination of stamps/dies to create the robin one but it's definitely outshone by the PB one (the photo doesn't do it justice) it's absolutely stunning.

I love the arches Brenda. It makes a really interesting look. And these are such lovely winter scenes too. :) These inspire me to finish cleaning off my work able so I can go play. :) Happy weekend.
Beautiful cards!
Love the shapes!
Two wonderful cards, Brenda. I love the dome and arch shapes.
