Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #15 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!
where the theme is always Anything Goes!
Sometimes, all you need is an old calendar and a few Lavinia stamps, and voila you have a quick and easy card in no time! Let me show you how.
Like most of you I love beautiful papers and tend to hoard them. However, when I was going through a 2016 calendar, I saw this beautiful wintry landscape, and when this card popped into my head, I knew that I had to use it right away 😀
It's the Fairy Foragers going to Santa's rescue!
Not too sure that Santa needs rescuing, but it's nice all the same, that the fairies are going to check up on him :-)
Since the calendar was made of a semi gloss paper, I scanned the wintry landscape and then printed it on semi gloss photocopy paper. All that was left to do was to stamp the greeting using StazOn Jet Black ink.
As you can see this was a very easy card to put together and it didn't take me more than 15 minutes. As always, here is the list of 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. Although our theme is always Anything Goes, you do have to use physical stamps, either rubber or clear.
NO DIGI stamps allowed.
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.
