Lavinia Stamps Creative Challenge - March by Zoe

Good morning Lovelies, well it's a beautiful morning her so far, we're meant to get rain later!

This months theme for Lavinia Stamps Creative Challenge is - Sparkle and Bling. You don't need a blog to enter the challenge, the details are here. Theres an amazing £40 prize for the winner, chosen by Random.org.

Here are my creations.

My first card I used a small Gelli Plate with Adirondack inkpads, I heat embossed using glitter Wow Powders.

 

My second card I made a Masterboard using a stencil that I'd cut using my Scan n Cut of the flowers, which I'd inked through using Gesso after having first creating my inky background with water splatters on Distress inks, I used Glittery Wow Powders and Versafine to heat embossed the flowers, a few sequins and Voila!

A couple of birthdays

Good afternoon Lovelies.

I hope you've managed to avoid the awful winter virus going around, it really is very unpleasant, day 5 for me and I'm still feeling poorly, the cough and cold I can cope with, the dizziness, nasty taste in mouth, aches and feeling cold I can't. I'm feeling quite sorry for myself actually and I'm not one to give in usually but this has pulled me down.

Never mind, tomorrow is a brand new day!

I just thought I'd share a couple of cards I've made for birthdays coming up.

The first is a dear friend and the second is my lovely Daughter Ashley, her birthday is in March.

I used Chocolate Baroque stamps and the fab new Distress Oxide inkpads, my second card is Indigoblu stamp and Brushos.

A very productive day with Eileen

Good morning Lovelies, I hope you're all keeping warm, it's sunny here at the moment which is rather lovely.

Well as my title suggests I had a very productive day down at Allhallows on Saturday at Eileen Godwin's Workshop, such a fab day, very chilled.

Sadly it was quieter than usual because of the flurries of snow during the morning, which put some people off coming and forced some people to leave early! However, I stayed, in spite the fact it's an hours drive for me, but it's mostly motorway and the roads were clear, I wasn't gonna let a little bit of snow stop me, and I didn't, I made 8 toppers.

Thank you as always Eileen for the fab day and the ladies for the laughs, chit chat and banter, not forgetting Barbara's wonderful cakes and baked goods.

It was a mostly "Visible Image" stamps day.

      

   

   

I combined my projects with Chocolate Baroque Sentiments.
