Lavinia World Challenge #22 ~ Fairy Prince, Oberon!

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #22 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

I have a very handsome fellow to share with you today.

This Fairy Prince, Oberon, has my faeries all atwitter 😀

Isn't he just a handsome fellow?

And yes, word has spread that he's coming to visit!!!

I used a clear Wink of Stella pen to give his wings this beautiful sparkle.

   

As much as I would love to tell you all that my colouring has improved this much, it just wouldn't be true.  I didn't colour him at all.  When you go to the Tattered Lace webside, they have a Floral Fantasy PDF download.  Once you've downloaded the images, you can then use your die to cut him out.

He is a rather large fellow, but so handsome.  My card is 5.75" x 5.75".  With his wingtip sticking out, the whole card does fit into a 6" x 6" envelope.  It may cost a little extra in postage, but he's totally worth it 😀  Please note that the above craft mat is in inches

On the inside of my card, I sponged some of the same inks I used in the front and then continuously stamped the Vine in VersaFine Clair, Shady Lane ink.

I had a lot of fun making my scene on this card. I love the combination of using dies and stamps.  It really is the best of both worlds 😀

Now for the supply list.  I've linked each item to the

Lavinia Challenge #15 ~ Fairies to the Rescue

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #15 at Lavinia World,
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.

 Fairy Forages

Christmas Night

Fairy Merry Christmas

Spirit of Christmas

Winter Wonderland

Hello crafting friends and welcome to challenge #13 at Lavinia World,
where the theme is always Anything Goes!

If you a follower of my blog, then you know that I'm very much a tropical kinda gal who would be quite happy if the only season we had was Summer😀 Now having said this, I do admire the beautiful warm and rich colours of Fall and even the serene beauty of a snowy landscape, just as long as it's a picture and I don't have to be it 😀  While making this card, I can't tell you how many times I thought of  hot cocoa with marshmallows, one of my  highlights in winter, but living with temps in the high 80's / lower 90's is not really conducive to drinking some right now, so I settled for iced coffee instead 😀  Now that I've shared all this with you, let's take a look at the card I created for this challenge.

Using one of Marianne Design's newest dies, Anja's Folding Circle, I cut out the card base and all it's layers. Then it was time to create my version of a Winter Wonderland which was inspired by the background DP.

I began by cutting out a circle of  light blue paper. Next I mirror stamped one of the small Fairy Foragers using Mirror Blocks, and one of the hares from the Whimsical Hares set.  After creating a mask for the hare, I stamped Fir Tree 1 several times using Memento London Fog ink.   All that was left was to adhere a bit of Soft Snow to make the snowy bank.  Taking a white Signo pen, I drew in a few snow flakes.
On the inside of the card, I cut a circle from the same blue paper. I stamped a few snowflakes from the Snowflakes set and the greeting using Fairy Merry Christmas  stamp.  The snowflakes were stamped using Memento Summer Sky ink while the greeting was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 
I must admit that I like the way this card came out.  Only one die and a few stamps and inks and voila, a winter wonderland 😀

 Here is a quick recap of the materials I used, each linked to the Lavinia World store for your convenience.
