I'm off to the gym today - hoping to get a personal training session with a lady who does GP referrals - if that doesn't happen I promise I will be very gentle - I don't like being unable to run but I know I have to play the long game!!!
On with today - I have a card I made using the freebie Lavinia stamps and also some other lavinia ones I have.
I have made this with the Lavinia challenge in mind but fortuitously it also fits the challenges at allsorts and the ribbon girl!
I used distress inks to create the background using mostly seedless preserves and bundled sage. The stamps are all from Lavinia - I hope they think this is okay for a birthday girl card - I think so despite the lack of sentiment. I didn't think it was necessary. The gold dots around the edge are some liquid pearls gifted to me by the lovely Mo almocraft on my recent visit - thanks Mo - they've already come in very handy!
So the challenges I would like to enter are
Lavinia:laviniastamps Birthday girl
Allsortsallsortschallenge: Purple passion
Ribbon Girlribbongirls: Purple.
I hope you have a great Monday and I'll hopefully catch up with you soon! Thanks for visiting!
