Several challenges today and did consider separate posts but seems most unfair expecting people to visit more than one on the same day, plus as I'm still functioning pretty much one armed so one post's a bit kinder on the eyes and fingers.
At Stamping Sensations and Tag-Along (and ATC's) it's Spring, at We Love Stamping it's Wildlife to reflect World Wildlife Day on 3rd March, Birds and/or Bees at Moving Along With The Times and as usual AG at Love to Craft.
My Wildlife share above a rare new make as stamping's difficult still, several older AALL and Create stamps, In the Wild 529 and Seeds of Hope 368, both still available from some stockists. Coloured with Zig Clean Colour pens.
For SS an oldie which was an early play with the Spin Tool back in the Autumn, a central panel using a really old wood mounted PB stamp 3096F Host of Daffodils, surrounded by various Spring blooms from A&C's 623 Elegant Spring all stamped onto a Gelli Plate background.
As with yesterday's post I've utilised ready cut images from my TRR/Reflections drawers and A&C tag base cut from Kraft, a lightly inked and stencilled background and threads at the top to finish.
My ATC is another Gelli Plate offcut, the stamp is Penny Black Daffodil Dance 378 inked direct to stamp with Ecoline pens, the same PB quote as above and little envie to match.
This one for Love to Craft also made a few weeks ago uses a good number of Lavinia stamps, in my mind a peaceful Spring meadow. After creating a background I simply stamped the flowers using Versafine Clair inks (if you use them First Stop Stationers are the cheapest around by far, I've recently re-stocked fading colours after several years of use).
Last but by no means least for MAWTT, another pretty old but un-blogged make, it's times like these I'm so grateful for my 'just in case' back up folders, Lavinia stamps again, Hummingbird and Flower Divine onto a stencilled panel which I carried through to the second panel and matching envie.
If you are still with me, my thanks for your perseverance.

gorgeous tag and beautiful cards and atc Brenda.......gr karin
It certainly makes sense to combine these themes into one post and what a beautiful feast for the eyes with the Spring/Wildlife projects. Plenty here to inspire entries to the various challenges. Take care x
A real feast for the eyes in this post Brenda. (Oops, just saw that Val wrote the same things! Great minds and all that!).
All your makes are so pretty and vibrant. I somehow missed what’s up and making you one-armed, but I hope you make a full recovery very soon.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
What a treat for us all these beautiful makes, Brenda! My favourite bunny has made an appearance and oh those TRR die-cuts!!! The Lavinia card is both stylish and striking, I love those colours together. x
Gosh Brenda what a lovely array of cards & Tag and the sentiment on 1 & 3 is a beautiful read so love the bunny too and the floral arrangements xx
