Happy July 4th to all my American friends! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend. Welcome to Lavinia World's 4th challenge.
It's the beginning of Christmas in July madness, crafting friends, so what a better way to kick it off than with a Christmas snow globe. I love snow globes! There's just something magical about them, don't you think?
Well, Lavinia Stamps aren't all just about Fairies. There are some other beautiful designs that go beautifully with the different seasons, just like the one I used today, called Mary.
Isn't it a beautiful silhouette stamp of Mary, Jesus and Joseph?
I enjoy using my stamps with dies, sometimes they just work perfectly together, as is in this case. The snow globe is a Moonstone die from Hundydory. To create the background, I used various Memento Inks.
Mary was stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
Mirror silver and gold card stock were used for the snow glove base, sentiment and other finishing touches.
Here is the list of the materials I used to create this card.
Each is linked to the Lavinia World store for your convenience.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit and will make a project to come play along with us. 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 that ships worldwide.
