Lavinia World Challenge #7

Hello Lavinia World Fans!!

Today is the start of a new challenge on the Lavinia World Challenge Blog:

Lavinia World Challenge #7

Here are the details for the Lavinia World Challenges ~  We are a brand new challenge featuring Lavinia Stamps and Papers.  We are a bi-weekly Challenge Blog and the theme will be Anything Goes using stamps (either rubber or clear, but no digi stamps).  You can read the rules here.

Please note that although we carry the full Lavinia range, we are not a part of any other entity or Facebook Group that carries Lavinia stamps. ONLY the cards posted to Lavinia World Challenge will be entered into the drawing for the Lavinia World prize.  Also note that gift certificates are ONLY valid at Lavinia World website:  Here

We prefer that your submission use Lavinia Stamps, but they are not required.  However, if you do use Lavinia stamps in your project, your chance of winning are doubled for each entry!  Your name/project will be entered into the calculation for the Designer's Choice Winner twice.  (For example, if three designers choose your project as their favorite, then that project will have a total of six votes!)

The winner of the challenge will be able to proudly display this badge on their blog and will receive a $15 gift certificate to Lavinia World to shop for more goodies.  Lavinia World offers the complete range of Lavinia stamps and papers, which are from the UK.  The store is located in the US and ships worldwide.

Now here is my card for Lavinia World Challenge #7:

Ingredients:

Tree Root stamp

Fairy Foragers stamps

Embrace Your Dreams stamp

Neenah Desert Storm paper

Sap Green Color Burst

Naples Yellow Color Burst

Frayed Burlap distress oxide

Seedless Preserves distress oxide

Black Soot distress oxide

Black ink

Watercolor paper

For this A2 card I made the base of the card with Neenah Desert Storm paper.  I took a piece of watercolor paper and wet it down, I sprinkled some Naples Yellow and Sap Green Color Burst onto the paper and then spritzed it with water and I used my heat gun to dry it.  I kept adding a little bit more of the Color Burts, spritzing it with water and then drying it with my heat gun until I like the background.  I took the Tree Root stamp and some black ink and stamped the Tree Root on the left side of the paper, I moved the Tree Root stamp just a little bit and inked it up again with the black ink and stamped it over the first stamp to give the tree a bit of a spooky look.  I took the Embrace Your Dreams stamp and the same black ink and stamped the sentiment in the middle of the paper.  I took the Fairy Foragers stamps and stamped two of the fairies around the sentiment.  I then took some Seedless Preserves distress oxide and my blending brush and added the ink around the top of the card.  I took the Frayed Burlap distress oxide and the blending brush and added it to the bottom of the card.  I took the Black Soot distress oxide and a blending brush and added the the ink around the edges and then I spritzed it with some water and used my heat gun to dry it and then attached that to the card base
