Hello and welcome to Lavinia World Stamps' 3rd challenge.
Yes, crafting friends, I started on my Christmas cards in June :-) Since I love everything about Christmas, it's never too early for me to start on my Christmas cards. As you know, I also love stitching on cards, so you can imagine how much I enjoyed making this card.
I used Versafine Clair Shady Lane to stamp the Mistletoe image from Lavinia Stamps, and added pearls for each berry. Next I stitched the pattern, from Stitch & Do 92 kit, in green, red and white, and accented it with the same pearls. Using Versafine Clair Nocturne, I stamped the Fairy Merry Christmas greeting, also a Lavinia stamp.
On the inside of the card, I continued the theme by stamping the Mistletoe image several times and in several angles along two of the edges of the card. Next I stamped the Spirit of Christmas sentiment and added
one of the Fairy Forages. As the greeting suggests, there has to be a fairy on the card, right? 😄
Since I didn't want to add the extra bulk on the inside of the card, instead of using pearls for the berries on the mistletoe, I added pearl dots by using a Viva Decor Pearl pen.
Here is a quick recap of the stamps I used with links to the Lavinia World store, for your convenience.
Well, crafting friends, that is it from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit and will make a project to come play along with us. Our theme is always Anything Goes as long as you use stamps, either rubber or clear, but NO DIGI stamps allowed.
We prefer that your submissions use Lavinia stamps, but it's not a requirement. However, if you do use Lavinia stamps in your project, your chances of winning are doubled.
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.
