Dragonflies.

Thought I'd share a quick, simple card made using a magazine giveaway  butterfly stamp and die.

A bit of embossing, some twine and a florish with a few sequins completes my card,

DOC106, monochrome.

Lavinia, You're A Gem!

Morning! 

It's time for a new theme at Lavinia and the challenge that we are setting you this time is 

"Add a gem"

So really simple, just make something using your

 Lavinia stamps or dies 

and add a gem.

You don't even need to have a blog to enter and be in with a chance of winning a £40 Lavinia voucher as you can simply email in a copy of your make and we can add you to our blog!

I used my latest crafty buy to colour my images this time,

Spectrum Noir Aqua markers.

I need some practice but I'm already feeling the love!

They are so different to Copics that I'm used to using but I love the look that they give. When I coloured the Lily image, don't ask me why but I felt the need to distress all of my edges, something that I hardly ever do, I just feel that it suits the water colour effect of the image.

The second card I simply cut out my image using the ScanNcut and coloured it in.

I'm using these cards for the following challenges:-

AGOAC139, CAS,

ATCAS58, Distress,

SCYS9, Birthday,

LIM213, Makes me happy. (my new Aqua Markers)
