Morning all, and a lovely bright morning it is for a very pleasant change! It's so nice not to have to switch lights on all day! Here's a card I made using some absolutely gorgeous
Lavinia stamps that I treated myself to last week. I have been resisting the temptation ever since I first saw the fabulous cards that the lovely Julie has made with them, click
here to visit her blog and check them out for yourself! Well, the human body can only take so much......! The hardest thing was deciding which ones to buy! The main image on this card is fairy Erin. I stamped her on white card, masked the image and inked with distress inks then stamped the mushrooms and vine leaves around her. I stamped her wings onto acetate, cut them out and added loads of glitter to the reverse and then added them to the image. They are so sparkly IRL!
The blue background paper was stamped randomly with the vine and a cobweb. I so enjoyed making this card! Off now to get inky again! Thanks for looking, hope the sun is shining where you are too!

Oh Chris, you gave in:) aren't they a dream to work with, I love getting lost in my thoughts whilst getting inky. Therapeutic craft indeed! I haven't got Erin yet, nor some of the other stamps you've used, you've certainly done a wonderful job! Thanks for the link and joining in with the Lavinia challenge this time, Julie x
This is a beautifully composed design, Chris! Love the layers here. Thanks for taking part in the "Something New" challenge at Stampotique!
GORGEOUS!! Many thanks for entering the Lavinia Stamps Challenge and good luck! Melissa (DT) xxxx
This is just gorgeous Chris. I have long been tempted by Lavinia stamps but I don't think I'd be able to do them justice!
