Lavinia Stamps, Distress inks, Stickles.

Hi there,

This is only a quick post, just to let you know that the

 June Lavinia Challenge is starting today, the theme this month is

 'Use any colours you like'.

 I have just got back from a fabuous, very hectic crafting weekend with some fabulous friends, including Eileen Godwin, Karen Buckle, Hellen Pearce, Barbara Cleggett, Yvonne Froehlich and Jane Barber, and wow what a weekend it was, I could now sleep for a week, lol !!!!

Here is a little bit of Lavinia inspiration from me, but please pop over to the Challenge link above, to also see my very talented fellow Teamies projects, they are wonderful.

The stamps I used are.....

Hobbit Home Large, Star Gazing, Spring Trees and Large Path.

Distress ink background, over-stamped and coloured with Distress inks, Stickles on the little fairies, and acrylic paint stippled for the blossoms.

These stamps are.......

Night Watch, Dandilions 2, Willow and a small mushroom.

Distress ink background, over-stamped and coloured with Stickles.

And the last one, the stamps are.....

Zen Angelic Words and Bria Rose.

I used Pebeo High Viscosity Acrylic paints for the background, stamped using versamark and heat embossed in Black powder, Stickles for the wings and flower.

Thank you for popping by, don't forget to join in the Challenge for a chance to win a whopping £40 to spend on the Lavinia Stamps website, email entries are also accepted if you don't blog.
