Shades of green


 Good morning, I'm hosting the challenge at Fab 'n' Funky  for this fortnight- 
my chosen theme is 

SHADES OF GREEN - my favourite colour.

I love this time of year when every day brings new growth and the trees start to wear their fresh green leaves, everything looks so vibrant and beautiful- especially when we're lucky enough to enjoy some early spring sunshine as we have here for the past couple of days.

My card is one layer, stamped and stencilled directly onto the card blank, the only colour I've used, apart from the black silhouettes is green, apart from a few details picked out with a gold liner pen. The fairy's wings are coloured with green sparkle pens, which doesn't really show...all of the stamps and the stencil are Lavinia.

I'm so looking forward to seeing lots of lovely green creations so I hope you'll find the time to join us this fortnight. There's some lovely inspiration for you over at Fab'n' Funky so please do take a look.


Thanks for visiting

Amongst the bluebells.


Good morning,  1st March- meteorological spring has arrived, so this month's theme challenge at Stamping Sensations is a great choice- SPRING, or of course there's the option of Anything Goes. 

There are some lovely prizes of Sweet Poppy Stamps and Stencil.


I used a mixture of old and new Lavinia Stamps to create my card, The catkins and fairy are new, the rabbit, robins, bluebells and grass are older. I've also used a couple of stencils to add some colour to the background. 

Thanks for visiting today, please check out the main challenge blog for details of how to enter and some lovely inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.
