Going Round in Circles at Allsorts Challenge

Hello and Welcome! Today a new theme starts at Allsorts challenge! Kath is our host and she picked the fun theme of "Going Round in Circles", so be sure to include at least one circle on your card. We're back to a weekly schedule so you have until next Friday to join in for a chance to win a beautiful floral Silhouette stamp.

It's been a while since I used my Lavinia stamps and thought it would be fun to create a background full of circles for a magical fairy scene. There are now a few Lavinia stamps retailers in the US, and I just discovered some are now found on Amazon. If you're new to this brand, they are clear photopolymer stamps and do require a stamping tool like a stamp platform or at least a clear stamping block in a size that fits the stamps, but I definitely recommend a stamp platform with any type of silhouette stamps.




The larger circles were done with a homemade stencil using circle dies and an old school folder with my Big Shot machine. The small circles inside the larger circles were done with TCW Circle Explosion stencil. 

Distress Oxide inks were used for the stencilling and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink for the stamping. The sentiment on the bottom is a sticker from Tim Holtz' Quotations sticker set, and "Dream Big" is one of Penny Black's sentiment from the set Snippets

I used a Sakura stardust glitter pen to add some sparkles to the fairy wings and flowers.


Thanks so much for visiting!!


PS: 
Each week in September there will be a prize giveaway here........Please share the photo on your own blog and keep an eye out to see what you can win each Tuesday in September.

The soft pastels and stencilled background are so pleasing on the eye and make a lovely backdrop for the Lavinia stamping. Hope you are all feeling better.
