All Things Bright And Beautiful



It's time for a new challenge theme at Lavinia 
and this time it is
"Bright and Beautiful!"


A bit of resist stamping left the miniature flowers dotted on the inked grass and the Zen leaf standing boldly embossed and coloured.




The gorgeous butterfly was trimmed from the



The gorgeous blue of the Brushos (sorry, colour to be added later) was painted onto the diecut and then embossed using versamark and clear embossing powder.   



I held the butterfly in place and inked the background so that pink would fill the wing area. I used the miniature flowers again around the edges of  my card.




I'm entering the following challenges:-

    Difficult decision today Julie, love the elegance of the first but the muted colours on the second do rather appeal.

    What a lovely treat to start off the week Julie! Not one but two of your stunning Lavinia cards to enjoy! They're both gorgeous, certainly bright and beautiful. It made me smile to see how you used the lovely butterfly die...if anyone can get added use from a die it has to be Julie the Die Cut Queen!
    Have a lovely week!

    Two gorgeous cards, Julie....like them both in different ways, as I love seeing lots of white on a card, but I also love seeing lots of inkiness, LOL xx (I also love seeing your cards with perforated edges )
