Lavinia World Challenge #31 ~ Oscar

Hello everyone and welcome to challenge #31 at Lavinia World,

where the theme is always Anything Goes!

Have you heard?  There's lots of new things happening at Lavinia World.  So let me start by introducing a brand new line of great quality stamps called Fairy Hugs. These stamps are made in the US, stamp beautifully and clean up very well.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to Oscar ...

Isn't he magnificent? And look how beautifully it works with Lavinia stamps to create a scene.

Next, I would like to bring to your attention a new line of glitters that you can now get from the Lavinia World store.  These are also from the Fairy Hugs line of crafty supplies.  I wasn't much of a glitter person, but I'm having so much working with Fairy Hugs glitter.  It's super fine, and iridescent, so lots and lots of sparkle and shine. And, best of all, it's containable due to the shaker containers it comes in.  In other words, it will not spread all over the house :-) I used a Quickie Glue pen to adhere glitter to Oscar and 1/4" double sided tape adhesive to create the border around the card.

And lastly, something that's also new to me is digi papers.  I normally don't use digi papers because I find that they print rather dull.  However, I tried this new line from We Are 3, and it's gorgeous and prints beautifully on a variety of card stocks. I didn't add anything to the background, other than a few stamps, and you can see how vibrant it prints. These papers are now also available at the Lavinia World store.

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

I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed putting it all together. You're probably thinking that I've done a lot of ocean themed cards lately, and you would be right.  But you see, it's July and normally in July I'm at the beach somewhere enjoying a swim in the ocean. Because of this virus, we don't feel it's safe to get on plane and head out to the beach.  So if I can't go to the ocean, I'm bringing the ocean home to me, even if it is in the form of cards :-) 

I'll be back soon to introduce you to Luna.  She's so beautiful and majestic!

 Now, it's your turn to make a projects and 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.
