Morning everyone, and a BIG Happy New Year to you all......hope you've had a great Christmas break. We have done absolutely nothing at all over the hols, apart from seeing family and slobbing out....it's been fab.
I'm ready to get back to some crafting now, but today and tomorrow I'm going to be sorting out my craft room, the mess is clouding my inspiration. Wish me luck!.........
Well, today sees the first LAVINIA STAMPS challenge of 2015
The prize, as usual, is a fantastic £40 of Lavinia products.
The theme is 'ANYTHING GOES'.....so plenty of scope. Here are my DT cards.
This is a simple New Home card.
Tim Holtz distress inks on PAPERMILLDIRECT white, hammered cardstock.....(one of my favourites).
I have used Pan Pastels on white smooth cardstock (from Papermilldirect, of course) for the coloured background on this little plaque...then overstamped with the wildflower stamp (HERE). I've stamped a couple of the flowers in Versamark and gold embossing powder, just to brighten the effect.
I cut a frame from black cardstock, and laid it over the coloured image.
Hope you like these first two creations of 2015. One of my new year's resolutions is to blog a bit more regular.....so watch this space!
Catch you all soon
Barbara xx

This is a beautiful card, but I can't find a stamp from De Stempelwinkel.
