A new home!

Hello there all! Well I'm so glad so many of you liked my card yesterday! That die is a beauty isn't it - you will definitely be seeing a lot more of it in the future!!! I've got quite a different card to share with you today - I had to have one of the new Lavinia zentangle stamps - and my card is my first play with it.

I've used radiant rains applied with a sponge to create the background - I used a red and a yellow and did some mixing too to get the dominant orange - it really does sparkle. Then I stamped and masked the mushroom house before applying the bayleaf mask/stencil from Imagination Crafts. I have used sparkle medium green which is also from Imagination Crafts. When dry I paper pieced my stamped image - I used black wow powders on red card and gold wow powders on blue card. Finally I stamped the LOTV sentiment.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Lavinia December Challengelaviniastamps: Anything goes

Thanks for looking today - I'm only doing a short post as I have three to do for tomorrow! Busy days these mid month ones!!! Thanks for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx
