Morning everyone, a quick post with shares for the new challenges at Snippets Playground, Path of Positivity and Lavinia.
Below my snippets for the card at the top which uses Penny Black 40-669 Radiant and coordinating die which was stamped with DI's onto an off cut, the colour dragged out and placed on the brayered background. The background stamping is Lavinia Faerie Spells, the focal words from my new sentiments stamped onto a black snippet and very frugally for me the black mat is just a narrow frame cut from the leftover after cutting an arch card base. A matching envie and some funky twine
Before I move on to my other shares meet Celilia Joy, the newest member of the family who arrived at 16.48pm on Saturday 1st March weighing 7th 12oz. All went well at the birth and they came home the following morning, all seems to be going OK as they settle into their new routine. We were so chuffed to see Joy in the name as it's my middle name and also Azaria's Mum's (our eldest Daughter) name. She was only an hour or so old in this photo, the red blotches have all gone and already she is putting on weight.
At the Path of Positivity this month the brief is 'Create a project you wouldn't normally make'. Wasn't sure where I would go with this one until I opened a draw and languishing at the bottom a bag of bookmarks which I bought may years ago intent on using and never have. So definitely something I wouldn't usually make.
First I used Oxides and water onto a piece of acetate to ink the bookmark, then stamped Lavinia Honeysuckle, coloured in with watercolour pencils, added some stencilling and words and finally some funky fibres to match the colours. Each one comes with it's own little acetate pocket.
Finally, an entry into Lavinia's Animal Magic challenge using one of the stencils from Sticker Stencil 11 which I inked with a mixture of Elements and Clair, the Mice are Minni and Moo and Basil and Bibi and inside the jar some Thyme. Around the bottom Leaf Spray, some stickles, the wording is Words of Spring and some Magical Mist coming out of the top of the jar plus more sparkle. In the background stencilling using Stone stencil.
Many thanks for your visits, your kind words are always appreciated.
