Lavinia Stamps - May challenge, and a weekend 'Special' from Papermilldirect

Hello everyone, and welcome to my new followers....
Well, here we are again at the start of another month, and another challenge from
As usual, the ( very ) lovely Tracey & Kev of Lavinia Stamps are offering a fab prize of £40 to the 'randomly picked' winner. No matter how long you've been crafting or how experienced you are, all you need is a few Lavinia stamps to enter, and if you haven't got a blog, you can enter by email.
The theme for the month of MAY is PINK or BLUE (or both if you want)
Here are my Design Team samples....

ALL card stock on these cards is from
Pop over to the Papermilldirect web page for details of a fab weekend discount offer.

Lavinia stamps used on this card are the 
Zen Flowers 1 & 3
I've coloured with Promarkers, and mounted the white 'frame' with foam tape to give height and used white 'linen' card.









Stamps used on this card are
Zen Angelic Words
and
(will find out and edit later)
White 'linen' card again.....



.



Here I've done a quick bit of masking to create the hills and ground, with distress inks, and used the Midnight Meandering (rabbits) and
Christmas Tree Group.
I've also added some glaze to the rabbits and trees.
Can you see the lovely 'canvas' effect the white linen makes?




Last but not least, I chopped a few different sized circles out or a small sheet of card to make a stencil, which I then inked with distress inks.
The stamps used are 
Hanging Lanterns
and
Zen Angelic Words
Well, that's it for today, back soon with another Special Offer from Papermilldirect.
Have a great bank holiday weekend.....we are still decorating....yawn!
I'm entering this post into the following challenges :-
POLKADOODLES  (Anything but square)
