Bursting with Colour

Good morning all, 

Welcome to Wednesday, 

Welcome to March 

Happy St David’s Day to all my Welsh Friends 

And Welcome to a new Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is 

Bursting With Colour.

This is the perfect time to use your favourite colours, favourite stamps and have a play 

You will never guess what colours I used !!!! 😉

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins £40 to spend at lavinia.

Just head over to the website 

Here is how I created my design 

I began with some blending, using dye based ink pads , mixing Distress oxide and elements inks…I just went for the colours 

I worked on both pieces of card at the same time 

Next I added the stencil. 

I just love this 

Then the stamping 

I looked at all my stamps and used some that I hadn’t used for a while.

This is a great way of reminding yourself about the stamps that you have 

I used a few different Versafine Clair ink pads too, but keeping to the red, orange, brown tones 

This all helps to give a cohesive design 

A sentiment and some posca splats (orange , well it had to be ) 

Some sparkle 

Here is a close up. 

I am off now to take Karl to the hospital, 12 weeks check up and X-ray after his ankle fusion. 

Wish us luck…

Hope he can take the boot off , walk Eric and drive again soon….

Much love and hugs 

Jo xxxx
