Meet Sebastian, the Seahorse :-)

Welcome to Lavinia World and to our first challenge.

Challenge#1 ~ Anything Goes

Although this Fairy world is very new to me, I'm loving every minute of it and having loads of  fun experimenting with my inks, that have been sitting on the shelf, very neglected, for quite some time now.

Isn't Sebastian, the seahorse, very majestic? 

Here is the list of Lavinia stamps I used to create this card.

 Each is linked to the Lavinia World store for your convenience.

Sebastian

Seaweed

Seaweed 2

Fairy Barnacle

Shoal of Fish

Deeper than the Ocean

The Sea Bubbles stamp was out of stock, so I took the back of a pencil and used it's little eraser to stamp my bubbles :-)  I think it did the job for now, what do you think? 

I used the same stamps to add a little scene on the inside.

Other materials I used are:

Teal card stock - GinaK

Memento Inks - Teal Zeal, Sky Blue, Morocco

Versafine Clair Inks - Shady Lane, Purple Delight, Acorn, Warm Breeze, Morning Mist

Fishnet die - Marianne Designs

Clear Stella of Wink pen and Clear Gelly Roll pen to add a little sparkle and shine, as you can see from the pic below.

Now that I have shared my card with you, let me tell you a little about our Lavinia World challenges that begin today.

Our bi-weekly Thursday challenges feature Lavinia stamps and papers.  Our theme is always Anything Goes as long as you use stamps, either rubber or clear, but no digi stamps allowed. 

We prefer that your submissions use Lavinia stamps, but it's not a requirement.  However, if you do use Lavinia stamps in your project, your chances of winning are doubled.

The winner of the challenge will be able to proudly display our Lavinia World winner's badge on their blog, and receive a $15 gift certificate to the Lavinia World store.  Lavinia World offers the complete range of Lavinia stamps and papers.  Although Lavinia Stamps is from the UK, Lavinia World is a US based store and ships worldwide.

Well, crafting friends, that is it from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed your visit and made a project to come join in the fun with us.  Please visit our Challenge Blog for more inspiration from my teamies.  Also, we'd love for you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
