Lavinia World #44 ~ Mushroom House

  Hello everyone and welcome to challenge #44 at Lavinia World, where the theme is always Anything Goes!


I have a card to share with you today, that is larger than what I normally make, but I do like the way it came out.  This is an 8" x 8" card.




I started by using Lavinia papers for the background. I love their 8" x 8" paper pad. There are so many beautiful designs in a variety of colours to suit multiple occasions.
Next, I figured out where I wanted my mushroom to be, and stamped the wreath around it. Before I coloured in all the berries, I stamped the mushroom.  All that was left was a little bit of colouring with polychromos and glaze pens. I also added a little glitter here and there for a bit of sparkle.  Lastly I used a die cut to frame the image. 
On the inside I used some of the same paperscape background and stamped the Spiral of Spells in the centre, and little bit of the Berry Wreath on the corners on the right hand side. I felt I needed a little something to balance the white swirls on the left.  These are part of the patterned background.  And that was it.  Now all I need to do is to make an envelope to fit this size card and hand deliver it.  I already have the recipient in mind :-)

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


Thank you so much for coming by.   Now, it's your turn to make a project 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. 


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.

Books, Spells & Potions

I'm back today with a new challenge from Crafty Girls Corner, hosted by the Crafty Belles team.


Challenge # 145 ~ Use Halloween Colours

Our wonderful sponsor this week is:


Oddball Art Stamps
Prize : 3 Digital Images

Using an image called Spooky Book Stack, I created this card.


The card is Silhouette Design #152863
I added the little elements on the labels using a few dies that I have.
The Happy Halloween title was cut using a Cottage Cutz die.
I used Faber Castell Polychromo pencils to colour the books since I printed them directly onto the craft cardstock.


This card turned out quite a bit bigger than I had expected, but it still fits in a regular A9 size envelope.

I'm so glad you stopped by today. Now it's your turn to make a project, using Halloween Colours, and link it to our challenge #145 for your chance to win our wonderful sponsored prize. You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 24 October 2017, to link your project to the Crafty Gals Corner blog.  And while you there, take a look at what my DT teamies made for your inspiration this week.

Till next time,
Happy Crafting!
