It's that time again........

Morning everyone....happy Saturday, and happy 1st of February (well, you have to be pleased that January is out of the way, such a depressing month!)
Today sees another monthly challenge from 
(the theme for Feb. is Lilac, Blue OR both) .....so loads of scope there.
The prize is an amazing £40 of products from Lavinia, so a no-brainer really.
THERE'S ALSO A SPOT PRIZE BEING OFFERED THIS MONTH ON THE CHALLENGE BLOG!
Anyone can enter ... all you need to do is Leave a Comment under the Feb Challenge post and at the end of the month your name will go into a draw.....the winner gets a £20 voucher to spend on Lavinia Stamps web shop. This of course runs in addition to the main Prize.
Here are 2 of my DT creations....hope  you like them



I love the colours this month.....I've inked the background with Colour Chemistry from the massive selection at Oak House Studio
and used Lavinia Stamps, Zen Butterfly,  and Zen Leaf 2 (love the selection of Zentangle stamps, and have loads more on order)
I covered the wooden heart with inked, white linen cardstock from


Same cardstock & inks on this tag, a dylusions 'mask' and the Wildflower stamp from Lavinia. The 'front' flowers were heat embossed with white embossing powder from OHS.


Hope you like my projects, I'll be back in a couple of days with another 2 DT cards. In the meantime, don't forget to leave your comment for a chance to win the £20 prize, and of course get busy planning your entry for Feb x
