Lavinia Inspiration.

Good afternoon all, 

Thanks for joining me on this grey , miserable Friday. 

I do hope you have some spring weather wherever you are..

My frogs are back in my pond and they are getting very friendly with each other,,,!!!!!!

So I am hopeful that this is a sign  that Spring is on its way. 

Although we seem to have some cold weather , even snow,  on the cards for this weekend. 

I hope not as it is our Cumbria workshop tomorrow..

Fingers crossed ladies and gentleman..

Today , I am sharing some Lavinia inspiration with you..

I do hope you like it...

And here is how I created it...

I started with stencil card and distress Oxide ink pads...

And oh yes....my Billy Brayer....

He has definitely come out of his box now...

As we are only making a background, it really doesn’t have to be perfect...(good job really )

Next some water splatters...

Oh yes..,I love that...

Next I stamped the hare,.,

Added the moon mask and some shading 

You can see how it is starting to build up 

I added some foliage ...

Some hills. 

And some colour...

I do love to add detail, and this fabulous Dandelion stamp is great for that 

I really wanted to frame the design, 

So first I edged the card with purple ink 

Followed by Black ink. 

See how that really makes a big difference 

And then the picture frame,,,

I stamped a Lavinia sentiment , and just cut out the word Wish....

I do love to do this...

You don’t have to use the whole sentiment,,,

Some white Posca dots...

And some glitter , 

And there we have it...

The frame is from Ikea...

And I think this will look lovely in my guest bedroom...

I really enjoyed making this, the 

Distress oxides are fabulous to use...

I do hope you enjoy using them too..

Right, better get on with sorting out my bags for tomorrow...oh and get some petrol...

Have a lovely weekend all...

Much love and hugs 

Jo. xxx
