Lemon and lime at Lavinia

Hello lovelies! Another sunny day? It was lovely here - it did make my 5 mile run a little on the warm side but hey - I think I can cope!!! Lol! Hoping for more tomorrow! More running tomorrow too - I need it - I feel huge at the moment - need to sort the eating regime out again too - things have been rather slack on that front! I needed the time but now I think I need to sort myself out!

I have a card to share with you today made with the Lavinia challenge in mind:


I made the background first using distress paints - mowed lawn and mustard seed - I spread them onto my craft sheet then spritzed with water and swiped my card through. Once dry I stamped with the Lavinia stamps after cutting into 6 pieces. Then I assembled the card onto mustard seed coordinations that had been run through a n embossing folder and swiped with cactus green staz-on.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Thanks for popping in tonight - I'll catch you later!

Hugs

  10. Such a gorgeous card Rachel, the colours are really zingy and go so well with this lovely warm weather we seem to be getting at the moment (hope it lasts). I'm not a very active person but I know that you like to run and it's great that you're getting back into the swing of things again.

  15. So pretty. I looked at this challenge and thought yikes no way but your combinations of the odours and stamps fit imperfectly. Think I will leave the exercising up to you. Climbing up onto the Drs couch was exercise enough for me. Hugs Mrs A.
