Lavinia Stamps, Distress inks, Stickles, Sweet Poppy Stencil, Black glossy Embossing paste and Micro beads.


Hi there,

A new Challenge has just started at Lavinia Stamps
the theme for November is 'Bright Hot Colours'.
Enter for a chance to win a whopping £40 voucher for New Lavinia  stamps.

Here are my DT samples, which I hope will give you a bit of inspiration.


I have used three of Lavinia's new Zen stamps for this 6"x 6" card,
Using Distress inks and a moon mask, I coloured the background, then stamped the Zen plant stamp and the Zen mini stamps around the bottom of the card, using a white Posca pen to add highlight's.
I stamped and heat embossed the fab Zen butterfly in black, onto heat resistant acetate, flipped it over and coloured the back using Promarkers, cut it out and added it to the card using silicone gel, 
and lastly added stickles for sparkle.




My second card is again 6"x 6", and uses the gorgeous Zen Tree stamp and Flowers, with a Distress ink background, the tree is coloured with Promarkers, 
and again I've used Stickles.




Third and lastly is an 8"x 8" card, and for this I have used Distress inks for the background, the Lavinia stamp Tree set, (which was sold on QVC, by Imagination Crafts, and also sold by Lavinia Stamps at Aly Pally).
 With this I used a Sweet Poppy Stencil, (designed by Tracey Dutton of Lavinia), with a Black glossy paste and micro beads, and of course Stickles.
The other stamps I used were GrassBullrushes and Birds.




I hope you will all have a go at the Challenge, what have you got to loose !!!

Thank you for visiting, and for your inspirational comments.

Bye for now, hugs Pauline xxxx
