Lavinia Stamps August Challenge.....Anything Goes!

Morning everyone, think it's gonna be a hot one.... it's already a beautiful day here in Wiltshire.
Anyway, today sees the start of the August challenge at LAVINIA STAMPS.....the theme this month is Anything Goes, so lots of scope for you here.
The only stipulation is that you use one or more Lavinia stamps. Pop over to the website, there are some amazing stamps on offer.
The prize for the 'randomly-selected' winner is a MASSIVE £40 worth of stamps. (Well done to Elaine Maisey for winning the July challenge with her beautiful canvas bag )
Here are my DT samples for Anything Goes :-



I used PAPERMILL 'leather-look' cardstock for this tag.
Inks and Embossing Powder from  OAK HOUSE STUDIO



Isn't this ribbon gorgeous?

 Lavinia Stamps used.....
1. Believe
2. Mushrooms
3. Stars 1 and 2
4. Tiny Leaf (free with Creeping Vine)



Smooth white and black cardstock from
PAPERMILL
Same inks and ribbon on this tag as previous,
with a computer generated sentiment.
I've also used Glamourdust and Liquid Pearls.


Lavinia Stamps used......
1. Gaggle of Geese
2. Creeping Vine, used upside down 




Hope you've enjoyed looking.....don't forget to pop over to the Lavinia challenge blog and checkout the other DT makes, they're fab xx

    How gorgeous are these Barbara! Love the white on the first one, it really pings from the coloured background and so clever with the upside down vine on the second one! Must remember that one..... x

    These are absolutely beautiful. Your work is always so colourful and these are no exception. Love the bright multicoloured backgrounds against the black of the backing. Love the matching ribbon as it finishes the tags off absolutely perfectly.

    Hugs Lisa xxxx
