It's the start of a new theme at Allsorts challenge. Gail is hosting this time and her theme is "In the Garden". Perfect timing as I am sure we all love seeing our gardens back to life after winter. But there is also the "Anything Goes" option if that works better for you. Prizes are from Lavinia stamps going to two lucky winners. Please remember to follow our simple rules so you don't miss the chance to be entered in the drawing or considered as a Top Pick.
A garden theme was a perfect reason to get out my Lavinia stamps.
I started out by inking a background scene using torn paper and a cloud
stencil (I have the My Favorite Things stencil) with Twisted Citron and
Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks. Next I stamped the mushrooms (Lavinia
Meadow Mushroom) and bunny (Lavinia
Pipin)
in Versafine Onyx ink. Butterflies (Lavinia
Flutterbies) and flowers (Lavinia
Lavender) were stamped with Versafine clair inks (Avocado, Lilac Blooms, Bali
Blue).
Sentiment is by Penny Black from the clear set Snippets. I inked some
more Salvaged Patina around the edges then decided the card could use more
details on the background so I used Lavinia's
Feather Leaf stencil
for that. I wanted a little bit of sparkle so I used a Sakura glue pen to add
loose glitter to the flowers. A white gel pen by Sakura was used on the bunny and mushrooms for some highlights/dots.
I plan to share this card here:
- Double Trouble Challenge - 3,2,1 (3 stamps, 2 stencils, 1 sentiment), plus Thing 3 Easter Element (bunny)
- Fab n' Funky - Spring
- Stamping Sensations - Inspired by Nature
- The Paper Funday - AG
- Tic Tac Toe Challenge - I chose middle row Stencil/Free/Pastel Colors
Thanks so much for visiting!
