Wands & Rods

It's time for the mid month post for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Things With Wings' so it could be Butterflies, Ladybirds, Aeroplanes,  or even Fairies.  I used this gorgeous Lili Of The Valley Birthday Fairy. I usually go for pinky colour combo's but I decided on this peach and lemon colour combination and love it.  This pretty die by Cheery Lynn meant I didn't have the need for much in the way of embellishments.

We have sponsorship this Month from

Rubber Dance 

And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

                                           





















And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'For Boys And Men',  So just go masculine for this challenge.  I don't have much in the way of male stamps in my Penny Black collection, I do need more but this little fishing Hedgie is cute.  I like to keep masculine cards quite simple so an embossing folder, brads and ribbon is about all I needed.

We have prizes from Penny Black, Crafts U Love plus A Clarity Art stencil  . Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your masculine stamps out isn't it!!!!!!
