Zoe - challenge - #5 - May "Birthday Girl"

Good morning lovelies! I'm on my way home from Turkey today and so this post has been scheduled, I hope it's worked ok?

Here are my samples for Lavinia Stamps Challenge #5 and this months theme is "Birthday Girl" please be mindful of the few rules we have regarding our challenge, we will only except entries that use Lavinia Stamps Only Tracey offers a very generous prize of £40 in vouchers to spend on Lavinia products which is why we need to be rather strict about the rules, thank you in advance!

My first card I used the Paperartsy chalk paints with a sponge to create a splodgy effect then used a stencil with a Damask style pattern with Archival ink through it, I stamped the "Gerbara" stamps in Archival ink in various colours, I also stamps the Gerbara onto some printed paper and cut them out for embellishments!
My tag I painted with Silks Acrylics by Luminarts, I used the same stencil as my card and pounced through with the Silks in darker shades and then stamped with the brown Silks using the Wild flowers stamp, a few little liquid pearls and a metal sentiment I coloured with Alcohol inks, added some tiny butterfly punches also coloured with Silks, the ribbon I coloured with Distress stains to match up the colours.

Thank you for visiting, I really appreciate the time you take to comment. Have a great day xx Zoe xx
