New Lavinia Stamps Challenge for April - "Lemon and Lime"

I am a bit late sharing this with you all due to a Flu Virus I have picked up but April brings the start of a NEW challenge from Lavinia Stamps......." Lemon and Lime "........

You could win a Voucher worth a WHOPPING £40 to spend in the Lavinia Stamps Web shop.....

You have 4 days over Easter where you can grab some me time and create a piece of art to enter into this challenge..... So go on have a go and enter as it could be you that is the next winner.....

This month I made 3 DT projects features the following stamps......

1..... For my first card I used the Fairy playing a musical horn called Sky, The Spooky Tree in the Background, Vine Leaf and maple Leaf I used to frame the top of the card and for the foreground I used the pretty Lavender Stamp..... I used various shades of green and yellow Distress inks to create the card and I hope you like this..... I really enjoyed putting this card together as it made me use my imagination to combine the various stamps I used.....

2..... On my second card I used Freya's House and the Fairy Washing Line. The Words Stamps Home is Where, I stamped and cut up and staggered them on the card..... I decoupaged the hand painted stamped images onto a stencilled background to give more interest..... Another pretty card where I used various Green and Yellow Distress Inks.....

3..... My 3rd and final card is where I used Zen Maple Leaf and the Zen Angelic Words. For the Leaves I fussy cut these out and used 3d Glue Gel to stick these to the circular layered card and then added the random stamped words to finish off the card.....

On all my cards I stamped in Archival Black Ink and used Distress Inks to colour and paint...fussy cut out and decoupaged to give a 3D effect, then I used a glitter Gel Pen to enhance.......
