Colourful Fairies

Bright and Beautiful

Lavinia Stamps Challenge for this month is Bright and Beautiful

It has inspired me to make these cards

I also took my inspiration from the main Lavinia Site 

in which Rachel Black did the most glorious Mini Book of Fairies at Sunset

It really is stunning
Update...I was lucky enough to win the challenge and I am absolutely delighted and thrilled

I thought I would try to make these cards using the Lavinia stamps I had 

and in Brighter colours for the challenge

The first card I made was the pink one but felt it needed to be 'Brighter ' 

to meet the Challenge, so I made the orange one

I did so enjoy 'playing' with distress inks, paints, sprays, alcohol inks etc 

I normally only use Stickles glitters to accent my cards 

but when  I saw Rachel's Mini Book and how she used the Stickles 

I thought it was so pretty, gave it a go and was so pleased with the results

It's hard to show in my photos the effect of the glitter.

I also stamped and glittered the inside of the cards

Thank you for inspiring me to do these cards

A Touch of RED

IndigoBlu Challenge
IndigoBlu's challenge this month is A Touch of RED

Update...I was lucky enough to win the challenge and I am absolutely delighted and thrilled

The theme of the challenge inspired me to make this card

I stamped white card using the IndigoBlu vintage Flourish Stamp 

in Black and Grey Archival Ink

I die cut and layered the card up with small black card frames

and popped on a dotty ribbon, die cut butterfly, diamante's and Red Rose

Finishing off with the birthday sentiment

I also stamped the Flourish stamp on the inside and on the back of the card 

I love Mono cards but the red pop of the rose just adds another dimension to the card
I loved making this card using the gorgeous and high quality IndigoBlu stamp
