It's time for the new challenge theme at Lavinia today,
For my first card I rubbed over my white card base with glycerin before sponging over red, yellow and pink inks, I don't know if you've ever tried it but it gets the inks moving a treat, the colours blend together beautifully. I used the background script, ivy border was stamped onto the inked card that backs the sentiment and I finished the card off with the stunning Zen butterfly. I added stickles to the edges of my card and the butterfly wings and tiny crystals to the centres of my punched flowers.
For my second card I used the gorgeous Celtic Dreams butterfly die, cutting it 3 times to create the inlays of the wings which I stamped with the background script, the glittered green background and the white outlines, I added some gems to the body of the butterfly.
I'm using these cards for the following challenges:-
CFAS 111, Autumnal Hues,
CM78, Autumnal colours,
MSCB, Wings,
SAM246,Birthday,
CIO, Glitter,
DCD235, Die cuts.
If you fancy joining in with the challenge you could end up with a £40 voucher to spend on more Lavinia stamps to add to your collection. All you need to do is get creative using Lavinia stamps or dies, you don't even have to have a blog to enter as we accept email entries.
Thanks for stopping by,

Both these cards are beautiful but have to say I am really drawn to the first one. I have never heard of rubbing glycerine into the card first. I will have to look into this, cant image at all but it certainly worked a treat. The colours are brilliant.
Wow! Where are my sunglasses??? I'm definitely dazzled by this gorgeous card Julie! LOve the colours (will have to try this technique!) and the glittering dragonfly!
Your second card is beautiful too...clever die cutting!
Have a lovely weekend!

Both cards are so lovely! I have used glycerine before but I have added it to reinker then applied. Will have to try it your way. That butterfly is stunning, love the overlay card too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2yina66hy3edph/Screenshot%202015-10-04%2015.05.55.png?dl=0
