Lavinia Stamps Challenge 1 - 'Anything Goes'


Well here we are with the first Lavinia Stamp challenge of 2015 and I'm a bit ahead of schedule this month, normally I'm posting at the last minute. 

I started this card with a Brusho background made by sprinkling sea salt on the Brusho paint whilst still wet, I love the patterns that the salt leave.


Next I embossed the Lavinia Stamp 'Fairy Pod' in white, highlighted it with a gold pen and embossed some hills in gold. Finally, I distressed the edge with Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and matted and layered onto white card and a pearlescent aqua base card. 



I hope you like it, why not visit Lavinia Stamps website and have a go at this fabulous challenge yourself, you never know you may be a winner. For more details follow the link:
