Happy Leap Year.......

Today I am sharing a card I made for a card exchange in the Anything Lavinia 

FB group.  My recipients have received their cards so it is 

safe to share!

I have used numerous Lavinia stamps and then did all the 

background and coloring in Versa Fine Clair inks and distress inks. The beautiful

tiger eye in the center is from 7Kids Craft store.

I added glossy accents to the stones in front of the tree.

Stamps used:

It's beginning to look like Christmas

Hi there all, hope you are doing well!  Today I am sharing a Christmas card I made

using the amazing Lavinia stamps. It seems that this guy just flew off the shelf

at 7 kids crafts but you can get him here.  I have used the small reindeer and the fir tree.

I used Salty Ocean distress oxide inks for my background I dabbed it on my craft mat, then spritzed water on it, rolled it with a brayer and then pressed the cardstock on it.  I let it dry and then  used Versa Fine Claire Inks to finish the background.  Then I stamped the images and added the sentiment and then added glitter for the effect of snowflakes.

That's it for me today hope you have an amazing week!

Mixed Media Altered frame and Lavinia stamps

Happy Thursday all!

It has been awhile since I have posted to my blog however I am hoping it will be a little more frequent in the future!  I have been working on my online store
Cardsbycharlene as my retirement date is nearing♥

I am sharing a mixed media frame I did with the amazing Lavinia stamps!

These stamps caught my eye awhile ago and I had to cave and start playing with them.

I have used 4 of their stamps in this scene...Willow the witch, Bats, Seasonal Tree, and Fairy Web.

I took a gold frame and applied black gesso, and then used art alchemy waxes .  I used the Versa Fine Clair inks for the background of the image, except for the yellow it is a chalk I had. Most of the supplies  I used for this project are from 7 Kids Craft Store.  I stamped the cauldron twice and then made a little slice in the top and put a little cotton to give the effect of the steam.
