Lavinia World Challenge #26 ~ Rue

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #26 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

I love the Lavinia papers and have quite a collection going. So today I'm using Silence to create a tall skinny Christmas card, showcasing Rue.

I began by stamping Creeping Vine all the way at the top to give the illusion that Rue is hanging from it. You can't tell very well from the pic, but I part stamped Rue in Versafine Clair, Octurne ink and her hat in Versafine Clair Monarch ink. Next, I stamped by scene on the ground. Pipin and one of the Whimsical Hares were stamped in Versafine Clair, Acorn in.  The Fir Tree 1 was stamped using Versafine Clair, Shady Lane, on both sides of the paper, although you can only see a little piece on the right bottom corner. I thought I was done, but being one that can't leave well enough alone, I stamped the Minni Slender Mushrooms in Monarch ink and then added a few snowflakes to fill in the empty spaces.  I used Versafine Clair Blue Belle ink.  Looking back, I wished I had stamped them in white! I'll know better for next time 😀

On the inside, I stamped the Fairy Merry Christmas greeting and a few more snowflakes, all using the Blue Belle ink.  I like the way this card came out. It measures 8.5" x 4" and fits into a regular #10 envelope.

Here is the list of supplies used, each linked to the Lavinia World store, for your convenience.
