Robins resting

 Hello crafters, here’s a twosome made with a new to me stamp from Penny Black, Robins Resting.

I’ve long been a fan of PB, but only recently treated myself to some new stamps.

I still treasure my wood mounted ones, but storage can be an issue, 

plus we all know it’s nice to have new playthings!


I’m taking this to We Love Stamping (something new),
and Little red wagon   #840 (new)

I love this image, . Stamped and heat embossed on watercolour paper, 
I was guided by the packaging to attempt watercolouring with different inks,
some SU, and some new to me distress inks.
The sentiment is from another PB set, Flying Away.
I die cut a white double frame for this one….


This next one has a more vivid sky, and more brown than orange pots.


This time I die cut some precious dazzling glimmer paper for the frame,
and added glitter to the snow.
I know I need more practice, but I enjoyed painting these, it’s very therapeutic.

I’m taking this one to Stamping Sensations, (B for birds)
and
Allsorts challenge #840 (winter animals)


Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

  1. Needs must Lesley!! Like you, so many lovely old wood mounted's, but I too had a little splurge last year although not come across tis one so might need to rectify that.

    Lovely how you creased both, the image is beautiful and needs little more than than colour to bring to life. Thanks so much for sharing your New with us at We Love Stamping challenge.

  4. PB certainly continue coming up with the goods - this is a lovely stamp and you've coloured it beautifully. The old ones are good but, as you say, it's always nice to have something new as well
