Good morning, this is the first of 3 posts today, all of them scheduled as I'm going to be in London for the day- dinner and theatre with my lovely daughter, a delayed birthday treat.
This card is a reminder for our February Challenge at Stamping Sensations, the theme is Favourite Stamps or Anything Goes. Once again I'm using Lavinia Stamps, this time to make a CAS Christmas card. The stamps I have used are Fir Cone Branch, Mini Holly ,Thistlewhisk and Pipspell (without his lantern). I coloured with pencils and a white gel pen, Posca marker for the snow.
Please check out the Challenge blog for details of how to join in, some great inspiration from the rest of the team and the lovely prizes on offer.

ReplyDeleteThe white pencil and gel pen work beautifully against the kraft, giving the whole scene a soft winter glow. The little mice are full of charm, and the clean layout lets the stamping shine. A lovely way to showcase your favorite Lavinia images.
