This is such a pretty card using shades of a single colour. I love the effect of the layered stencilling and touches of glitter on the stamped grasses.

Does it fit? said the Prince

                                                                               Hi all

I found myself buying the latest collection released by Lavinia on the 26th January (plus alot more since, I need my hands bound and blind folded - is there and Lavinia addicts anonymous group!!!!.  Today I decided to make a card using the small Pixie boot for the first time mixed with older stamps.  Fabulous all the stamps can be mixed up so many beautiful stamps and can't stop buying them lol. Anyhow I made a mini slimline card thinking it would be an easy make HUH third attempt would you believe. my recycle bin just loves me and never goes hungry lol. 

Here are the ingredients for my so called simple card!

I called this ''Does it fit? said the Prince ''

8 1/2 x 16cm card base (made using white textured card) I wanted to use textured card to give the images further interest instead of it being flat and smooth - NOT so sure it was successful or not lol but showing it anyhow!!

Used stencil spritzed with water and placed onto card

Lavinia stamps - small Pixie boot, Woodland mice and Bird collection

Elements Graphite

Versafine clair Nocturn

Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencilsnumber 18 (blue) and 34 (light blue/grey)

Wink of stella all over the boot, I spared the mouse and birds - didn't want to mess up their feathers and fur

Black Sakura glaze pen

White pastel pencil

Sandstone stickles

Lavinia sentiment stickers

In the spotlight

 Happy Tuesday everyone.  I have been in the office today and had back to back meetings from 8.30am until 1pm.  Was all talked out and just wanted to get home to play with some of the stamps I have not used until now.  Woodland Sprite, Creeping Vine and bluebells I have had for ages but not used them.

I have called this one ''In the Spotlight''

The background I have had lying around for ages, made on gel press with della blue and olive elements.  I have so many backgrounds waiting in the wings and I am determined to start using them up

For this I used the following ingredients

Lavinia stamps - woodland sprite, creeping vine, orchard grass, bluebells and flora set

Versafine clair Nocturme, medieval blue and warm breeze

Elements - Olivem della blue and mulberry

white gel pen

white pastel pencil

Sandstone and lime green stickles

 black gelly roll glaze pen

I so wish you could see the sparkle but difficult to photograph it.

Thank you for popping in

The Courtship.....

 Hi all hope you are all well

As you will see I have made another Unicorn card, but this time being in love. The lady Unicorn is quite coy while the male declares his love - I wonder what she is thinking at that moment.  

For this I used the other background I used for one of my previous posts. I think it was a mop up from a stencil used for another card. I love the effect so much

I used the following ingredients for this card

DL sized card blank

For this one I used the following

Lavinia Stamps - Talia, Zuri, mini hearts and cherry blossom

Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch

Elements Della Blue

White gel pen

Sakura Gelly roll stardust pens - Rose and Purple

Blue glitter pen

Black and white pastel pencil

Black sharpie

black Sakura glaze pen

glossy accents for the hearts
