Happy Days

Good morning everyone, 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

For those Mums , who are reading this, I hope you had a lovely day yesterday.

I had a lovely morning being a Grandma,

so that was me in a happy place. 

Today I have some very exciting news.

I am so proud to have been asked to join the Lavinia Design Team. 

After working with Tracey and Kevin for a while and getting to know their company I have decided that the time is right.

So I have a Lavinia card to share with you today.

This was inspired by the team for their April Challenge 

Buds and Blossoms 

Here is how I created it. 

I love this honeysuckle stamp, and it looks lovely with gold embossing powder. 

Then out with my Brusho powders, look.

I told you these little pots would be very useful...

Next I spritzed with water,,.

I love how this moves the colour...deep breath....

Some more splats with the Brusho water mix 

When dry I added some background stamping and distress Oxide ink around the edges. 

Some matting and layering, 

Followed by a Lavinia word and a black bow. 

I love the detail of these stamps.

I am so lucky to be working with such lovely craft companies, who have such great ethics, 

hand draw their images and are just such genuine fabulous human beings
