Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - April Challenge

Hello and Welcome to the April theme at Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday Challenge taking place right here on my blog - Ellibelle's Corner! Before I let you know more about this month's theme I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that joined in last month. I had lots of fun visiting your blogs or galleries and a winner and top picks have been selected. They are listed at the end of this post.


This Month's Themes


I think everyone is enjoying choosing from multiple themes, and since each challenge runs for a whole month, it makes sense to let you choose from more than one theme. This month they are:


Wings, Tails or Spring Blossoms


Choose one theme or the other, or you may combine as you wish! I can't wait to see what you will share this month!



For my creation above I used a mix of Lavinia stamps on an inked background. I started out by masking the edges of my 7x7 inches Bristol Vellum paper using  painters tape, then used Distress Oxide inks for the background, applied with an ink blending tool.  I used the colors Cracked PistachioWilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch. A little water was spritzed on the background for a fun reaction before stamping the plants, fairies and words. All stamping besides words were done using  Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink, then I used  Cracked Pistachio ink for some of the words.
