Beads And Gems

 Morning, did you get to see the amazing cards that were entered into last months challenge at Lavinia?

So many inspiring projects.

The theme for this month is

"Beads and Gems"

I bought some masks a few weeks ago and thought I would use them along with my Lavinia stamps, I double stamped the Dandelion, adding  white gel pen to the stem and seed beads along with a sprinkling of glamour dust.

The door hanger I started a few weeks ago, it's been sta on my desk and I've been gradually adding to it as I felt the flow lol! In the beginning I had planned to stamp the gorgeous Luna onto the inked background but when I saw the recent magazine giveaway stamps, I felt that this fairy was much better suited. 

 After stamping her using black Versamark I used a mask to sponge through to create the star which I tidied up by dotting the edges with a white gel pen then decided to add dots all over the star to soften it. My black fine liner and a doodle, hung the star from her finger.

I punched the flower from white card, masked four of the petals and stamped the dandelion image onto each petal in turn. The gem flower centre has been disguarded in my drawer for years , the stars are highlighted with gorgeous Swarovski Crystals.

I'm using these projects for the following challenge
