Blooms and Bees


Morning all, a quick post with a card for the new Snippets Playground challenge. A mixture of stamping and dies, in the background stamped Lavinia grasses, die cut flowers using Amazon dies, two little Lavinia Bees and the wavy die a really old border set which I think is Spellbinders. The bottom panel and flowers all from snippets left over from cutting base cards but no photo I'm afraid. Also linking to Inkspirational leftovers theme, Summertime at Shopping our Stash and In the Garden at Try it on Tuesday.


A floral tag with a side pocket for a smaller tag for Beautiful Blossoms inspirational photo and Make my Monday use a stencil. The tag serves as a gentle reminder theres still a few days left to join us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge with tags, bookmarks and ATC's. The blooms on my tag are Stamperia ephemera, stencilling in the background using an A&C Rose stencil, some lace, fine cheesecloth and pearl string.


Finally, I had my crafty companion GGD Margo at the weekend, she was intrigued with the whole stamping process and also discovered glitter, I'll say no more than took a while to clean up! This is what she calls her Sparkly Moon and apparently not Racoons as she hasn't seen one of those so must be badgers, the mind of a four (pushing five) year old.

  1. The die cut flowers and Lavinia stamps are lovely combination Brenda, gorgeous floral tag too.
    I think you're going to be facing some stiff competition from Margo in years to come. Doesn't a little glitter go a long, long way ....

  4. You have some competition with Margo-grin. I bet even though you had to clean glitter, it was a lot of fun. And your card/tag are wonderful. I love the white edge on the card. It adds some pretty feminine details. Have a super rest of your day! hugs-Erika

  5. Your floral card is so pretty Brenda. Thank you for sharing it over ATC the Snippets Playground.

    Great side pocket tag full of roses too.

    Looks like Margo will follow in her Grandma’s footsteps. Xxx

  6. You appeared in my RL quite a few hours after you posted, but it got there in the end. Like you said - no rhyme or reason xxx
