It's my turn to introduce a new Allsorts Challenge today and I've chosen the theme of 'Shades of Blue'. It would be lovely to see the challenge blog flooded with blue creations, but there is always the option of 'Anything Goes'. I've made two DT cards for the challenge.
I stamped the Lavinia 'Fairytale' stamp with navy ink, on a die cut square. I used a Lavinia 'Feather Leaf' stencil to gently stencil over the image with Adirondack 'Stonewashed' ink. I added some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the fairy's wings. The long panel was embossed with an Embossalicious 'Make a wish' embossing folder. I used two shades of blue for the mats. The Woodware sentiment is stamped in navy.
My second card is a masculine card, made for my nephew.
There are two lovely prizes of Lavinia Stamps and stencil to be won. Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Fairy Card:
Masculine card:
A couple of lovely creations in shades of blue, great idea for a theme. The fairy is beautiful and the masculine card perfect for a young man

Your "Shades of Blue" cards are absolutely stunning! The Lavinia 'Fairytale' stamp with the stenciled background and embossed panel creates a magical and elegant design. The masculine card for your nephew is equally impressive with its layered elements and clean design. Great work on both cards!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fairy card Liz, very pretty and magical, and a great masculine design in the second card. Blue is y favourite colour and your cards showcase its versatility in crafting xx
ReplyDeleteA perfect card for a man Liz and your fairy card is lovely with the stencilling and embossed strip.
ReplyDeleteA great masculine card Liz, but the first has to be my favourite, this beautiful design really showcases the lovely fairy. Great choice of theme btw.

I love shades of blue on a cards and these are both wonderful Liz. The first has such a sweet little Lavinia fairy and the soft background stencilling behind her with the added embossed panel look great together, and the spots and script work well with the added stars on the diagonal to make a terrific masculine card. x
