Snow And Sparkle With Lavinia

The new theme starts today at 

Lavinia Stamps Challenge.

"Snow and Sparkle."

It's a great one for all of you Lavinia lovers that want to get some Christmas cards made!

I flicked masking fluid over my card before inking up my night sky and stamping Santa and his Reindeer

 (Christmas Night)

 onto the freshly fallen snow lol!

 I did have a bit of a laugh when I'd rubbed of the dried masking fluid and it revealed a few rather large snowballs instead of delicate flakes. Oh well!

There's a great randomly picked prize as always, a £40 voucher to spend in the Lavinia shop where you can now treat yourself to some of the gorgeous new 

Celtic Dream Dies!

A blog isn't essential as email entries are also accepted.

 

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

AFC, It's cold,

Artistic Stamper, Christmas is coming,

CHC201, Sparkle,

Little Claires, Christmas,

LIM196, Non traditional Christmas colours.

Loving Lavinia Dies Big Time

I've not much time to chat today!

I'm too busy playing with my new dies

from Lavinia Stamps!

And if you like your dies big, you're going to love these, they measure 11.5 cm!

It doesn't show too well in the photo but I actually used the die to cut an aperture from my card the butterfly is layered onto vellum and the wings are highlighted with the most amazing Wink of Stella.

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

OSAAT 222, Butterfly,

ATCAS50, Vellum.

Simply Over The Edge

I've really not been getting much time to craft lately so when I needed a quick card I went to my pot of images that I'd previously cut using my ScanNcut.

This gorgeous LCI Digi

 was simple to colour and just perfect for the job

I couldn't get it to show up in the photo too well but there's a sprinkling of glamour dust on the roses and on the dots of Liquid pearls added to the gypsophilia on the digi.

Unfortunately the close up does show up the speedyness of my colouring job!

Just in case you hadn't heard the sad news, 

Ladybug Crafts Ink

will be closing their doors for good on the 

28th October so time is running out if you wanted to bag yourself a bargain and what a perfect time to grab a few extras for Christmas gifts for your crafty friends!

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

CCCDC11, Glitter digi,

TCC October, Pink,

4CC, Birthday.

Autumn, My Favourite Time Of Year!

I just love autumn, the smells, the cooler weather, being able to get out the jumpers again and open up my scarf drawer.

I never get bored with looking at the changing colours of the leaves, I just love it!

I wish I'd had more time to create this months DT contributions for Lavinia stamps, I made these a few weeks ago and now that I see them again, I realise that I didn't capture the true beauty of the season.

It would be lovely if you could join us in this month's challenge theme,

"Autumn Colours"

Email entries are accepted and with a prize of  a

 £40 Lavinia spend up,

 it's so worth entering!

So if you've got any Lavinia Stamps or Digi's, you've got nothing to loose!

I'm entering the following challenges:-

Inky Impressions, Flowers and leaves,

Chocolate Baroque, Colour recipe.

Sale Extended

As Kerry has been out of the country for a few weeks she has decided to extend the 

closing down sale 

until the 

16th of October 

I had hoped to get time to make a new card to share, unfortunately I didn't so I am going to share

 one of my favourite

 Ladybug cards instead!

I seem to remember that this was my first ever image coloured entirely using Copics.
