This time last week I was on my way back to our B & B after spending all day watching the most amazing demos at the Lavinia Stamps Hallaganza. I finally found time this weekend to play with some of the stamps I bought.
I started by stamping a rectangle using a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Bokeh Dots' and a Versafine Clair 'Bali Blue' ink pad. I stamped Lavinia's Annie from the 'Annie and Edward' set and 'Snowy Fir Tree Small' using Versafine 'Nocturne' and a few Lavinia 'Snowflakes' using Versafine Clair 'Bali Blue'. The sentiment is a stamp from the Lavinia 'Christmas Greetings' set. I added a silver sequin star to the top of the tree and adde some sparkle to the tree with a white Wink of Stella brush pen . I used pastel crayons to ground Annie and the tree and add a glow around the candle. I finished off my card by adding a clear Nuvo drop in the middle of each snowflake.
I am joining in the following challenge:
Very cute card, thanks for sharing!!! -
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Liz, you've done a great job with the different stamping techniques. The silhouettes of Annie and the tree are lovely... great idea to add the "glow" around her candle.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

What a pretty Winter scene Liz, this new release really is lovely, still a tad envious of your Sunday last week, I'm sure it was full of fun and inspiration, maybe nots so kind on the pocket. Dare I admit despite mine arriving ahead of the curve not see ink yet, hope to put that right today.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges.

Wow, lucky you being at the Hallaganza which must have been amazing. Great work with these lovely stamps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card - such a cool arrangement of stamps!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were making up a "Darnell word" with your title, Liz, but I see instead I should say, "Go you for attending such a fantastic Hallaganza!" This is such a sweet and beautiful Christmas card made with some of your new goodies!! I look forward to seeing more. Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of "Darnell words', I wouldn't even attempt to try! 🤣
DeleteWonderful card. Love the winter scene you have created.

Hi Liz
ReplyDeleteA really lovely finished Christmas card - you have put your new craft stash to great use!
I bet you had an amazing time watching all those demo's.
Many thanks for your lovely comment on my blog .. .. .. my Mum doesn't keep her birthday cards .. .. .. she allows them to be on display for a week and then that is it .. .. and whoever is with Mum at the time is told to "put them all in the bin now .. .. I have had enough of them" LOL!!!
Hope all is good with you.
Love and hugs

The black silhouette tree and little Annie look great against the blue background and I love the added snowflakes and the coordinating black sentiment has such a beautiful Gothic font...a fabulous card Liz, and glad you had a lovely time at the 'Hallaganza', with lots more new goodies to see I suspect. x

Saw your card over at the NBUS Challenge! What a sweet card! Love the little girl image looking up at the Christmas tree!

ReplyDeleteLucky you, attending that workshop. I am glad you have now made a card. It is just so lovely. You silhouette stamps work really well on that lovely background. Thanks for sharing it with us at we love stamping too xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Liz … love the rectangular background you created and of course the fab new Lavinia stamps. I’m sure it must have been a wonderful day at the Hallaganza … sadly I couldn’t make it this time but I finally caved in yesterday and ordered some of the new stamps so I’m excitedly stalking the Royal Mail tracking app 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely beautiful! I love how you used the ‘Bokeh Dots’ stamp and the ‘Annie and Edward’ set to create such a magical scene. The added sparkle and Nuvo drops really bring it to life.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and beautiful card!
