Tranquility


Boy, the first of the month soon creeps up on you! 
And the first of the month means it's time for a new challenge theme at Lavinia Stamps. There were lots of entries last month, it seems that there are many crafters who love to create using Lavinia stamps but don't have blogs and the new option of being able to email challenge entries was very popular!

The requirements for this month are:-
I did a bit of resist stamping, stamping the wings in clear Versamark and embossing with clear embossing powder before masking and inking my background using little make-up sponges. I then stamped the wings again using a purple colour ink, moving the stamp slightly to the side and down to give the effect of a shadow. I then just used a selection of stamps, inks and stickles to frame the image before adding a computer generated greeting.




 I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
CC216, Anything goes,
SACC42, Anything goes,
CFAS69, For the girls,
CM35, Add sparkle,
Simon Says, Twine,
DOCB70, Fantasy,
MIM176, Anything goes.


During the month of February there will be an extra chance of winning a prize with Lavinia, anyone can enter and you do not have to enter the monthly challenge though we would love it if you did, just leave a comment on this months Challenge blog post to be in with the chance of winning a £20 voucher to spend on 

Thanks for stopping by,
Julie.x
