Childhood Dreams

It's time for the new challenge with Lavinia stamps, the theme for July is

Childhood Dreams.

I'm sure that many of you must have dreamed about Fairies as a child, I know I did, especially at times when I found myself with a wobbly tooth!

For my first card I used one of the gorgeous Scenescapes, these are so brilliant to have by you for times when you find yourself with a special card to make but not much time to get creative!

I also used the following stamps and my trusty 

Versafine Ink 

Seeing is believing,

Witches cat,

Snow shrub,

Sacred spells,

Lavender,

I also used a Dandelion stamp to hint at a reflection in the water.

for my second card I created the background using 

Oxide inks 

then used the following stamps:-

Fairy House,

Willow leaf,

Snow shrub,

Forest spruce.

If you'd lke to be in with the chance of winning a £40 voucher, just ink up those Lavinia stamps and join us with this month's theme!

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

Sweet Stampers, Animals,

Penny Black and More, Wings,

Stamping Sensations, In my garden,

Crafty Friends, Fairy.

Lavinia At The Nec

If you're lucky enough to be visiting the NEC this weekend, be sure to check out the Lavinia Stamps stand, there are some new releases especially for you! 

I have to say that I have a new favourite Fairy

"Josie"

Isn't she gorgeous, I just love the way this stamp conjures up the illusion of movement, it even comes complete with some seeds to catch the wind! With all that blowing Josie managed to blow away the storm clouds that I created using Oxide ink.

On my first card I stamped Josie and "Whimsical Whisps" onto a "SceneScape"

 For my last card I again used a SceneScape stamping 

Small Celestial Tree twice with each inking. I then inked a little mound and stamped "Jaylar" I just love the delicate wing tendrils on these new fairies! 

If, like me, you're unable to visit the NEC, grab yourself a coffee and watch Hochanda  on Saturday 17th March at 2pm where you will be in for a treat, Amanda Branston will be doing a few Demos!

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

Stemplegarten 71, Fantasy,

Get Creative, Mythological.

Did You Watch It?

Hands up who watched Hochanda this morning?

I did, and what a buzz to see a couple of my cards.

It was Lavinia's debut today, Amanda did a brilliant job doing the demos!

These were shown in the 8am show where the 

SceneScapes were featured.

There were so many sell outs that I'm not sure what is going to happen about the 2pm showing!

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

Mod Squad, fantasy,

UCB24, Mythical.

Waiting now for the 2pm show, might see some more of my makes, I'm lucky to be part of such a talented dt.

Thanks for stopping by,
