Happy New Year 2014!

and a Lavinia challenge #1 - Add some Glitter

Hello My Dear Stamper Friends:
A fresh new year!!! 
A BIG thanks for being here along with me and for your kind comments all through last year ...
For this new start, I wish you lots of health, love and of course new adventures of creativity to share in our blogs!!!

Every first of the month, Lavinia's Stamps hosts a Challenge at their blog...

For this month of January, the theme for the challenge # 1  is "add some glitter", and here are my contributions as a DTM for your inspiration..featuring the alluring Lavinia Stamps!

This first tag to welcome 2014 is made using the enchanting "small pack of fairies", "the slender mushrooms" and "miniature stars I "  stamps that I stamped with "Versamark" ink, add 'sticky powder', heat set and then add some Glitter "Ritz'. see colors below in the supply list...

The letters and numbers, from Memory Box,  were cut out from double sided adhesive paper and then added glitter...
The labels are from "Spellbinders"...



For this 2nd card,  I used again The "small fairies" paired with this beautiful "wet wings" stamp. I heat emboss in silver the line and then add with a fine tip glue pen some glitter...
the mountains and the moon were done using double sided adhesive paper and then add some more glitter
...


This last card  uses the "inlay" and the "Gradient" glitter technique.
I die cut the poppies in double sided adhesive paper , add glitter to the whole card in white and then inserted back the poppies already with glitter back in place...this is the "inlay" technique.
to see another post on this technique go HERE . Instead of using glitter I did it with "Wood Veneer" but it is the same process...

The fairies were stamped with stazon ink on top of the white glitter and the "gradient" glitter technique was used on the poppy flowers.
The "Fuchias" were stamped in vellum with Stazon ink and used a fine glue pen to add glitter
  


So... I hope I inspired you to play along with us and post a card using at least one Lavinia stamp for the chance to win a £40 voucher to spend at the  Lavinia's web shop...you will have until the end of the month to submit your card...

if you do not have a blog, but want to participate to the challenges...no worries, e-mail entries are accepted now as well...

So, Go and visit the Lavinia's Challenge blog to see ALL the samples posted by the entire DT ...and post yours! 


 GOOD LUCK!
