Above a wreath made on the spin tool using some older Penny Black stamps Natures Gifts and Just Looking, various Versafine Clair inks and a little colouring to create an Autumnal feel using Zig Clean Colour pens. The word in the middle is Lavinia. Entering under A/G at Penny Black Saturday and Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers L for Leaves and Ellies Garden Party 20.
A very simple scene as the two Penny Black stamps Restful and Snowy Village did most of the work. For the background a mixture of Pan Pastels and DI's and sentiment stamp which is also PB. Entering Krafty Chicks Birthday.
Finally one for Christmas Kickstart Reindeer Games, my Lavinia Reindeer is a pretty serious chaps so not really playing any games although the way he's eying up those Fairy Catkins he's perhaps planning tugging them down? Entering at Simon Say's Wednesday Stamp It, Girlz Creative Christmas and Peace on Earth.
Just realised with all that's been going on the last week I totally forgot to shard my Card Chain Challenge card, it went to Dagmara in Poland, following the colour palette of pewter, stone and sand along with Mice from the options. I received a really lovely card from Majda in Slovenia.
Thankfully my ocular shingles seems to have settled a little and less painful last few days. Hubby's surgery to rectify what went amiss in what should have been a routine cataract procedure was done very swiftly the following day although had to be followed by a further one yesterday, bonus was whilst he was under they did the cataract in the other eye as well, so fingers crossed all now dealt with.
All beautiful cards, Brenda! Both Penny Black and Lavinia stamps are so perfect for scenes!
ReplyDeleteGlad your and your hubby's eyesight is on the mend. x

Love your wreath card, the colours are so pretty and definitely harmonious! The scenic card is stunning. You have made it come alive with the birds and gorgeous colours Brenda. The reindeer card really does give off peaceful vibes. Very pretty. Your little fairy and mice card is just so sweet. Love the circles layout. Oh I am so glad the pain is easing up for you and that Eddy's eyes have been sorted, hopefully successfully!!
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a feeling of changing seasons in your cards today. I particularly like your CCC card. Great use of the colours. i am glad to hear that things are settling down a little for you both xx
ReplyDeleteLove the rustic feel to your wreath. Great combination of stamps to create a lovely countryside view and such pretty colours too. Lovely framing of the reindeer and a fab card with the Lavinia stamps in the subdued colours which is such a contrast to your usual style. Glad all went well yesterday.

Beautiful selection of cards, each one different but equally lovely. Glad both you and hubbies eyes are improving x
ReplyDeleteGreat batch of cards Brendas. Love the autumnal wreath and the silhouette stag is beautifully majestic! I’m sure Dagmara loved her CCC card, those mice could pass themselves off as rats I reckon and she’s definitely a rat fan. Hope things continue to improve for both you and hubby.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Awesome cards! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Peace on Earth challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

More stunning work, love the images and colouring on each one, which are so different on a theme. I'm so happy to hear you're shingles have settled a little, they must have been so painful, still are I guess. Gosh Ted has been through it with his eyes. Let's hope it was all worth it. Great he had the other one done too. x

I love how your wreath has such a warm autumn feel with the layered stamping and rich inks, and the peaceful tree scene and the elegant reindeer card each bring their own quiet beauty that makes the whole collection feel wonderfully balanced.
