I've done some homework

Today has been a bit of a downer after such a brilliant couple of days, so, after shopping, cutting grass, washing, ironing and cooking, I squeezed myself into the tip I call my craft room.
Well, I only have 4 pan pastels, white, yellow, red, blue.  I remembered Eileen's instruction, blend colours on some kitchen roll ......... so I did!  Here's the results ........ not quite the colours I was looking for but I am pleased with the effort.  This is one of the Lavinia stamps I bought at Ally Pally recently.


I can see where I went wrong with the words .......... I pressed too hard but next time I'll be a bit more gentle.

So inspiration from Eileen, words supplied by Barbara and a long shopping list put into Joanna Sheen, Lavinia Stamps & Sweet Poppy Stencils ......... I'm hot to trot when they all arrive.  Watch out challenge bloggers, when I perfect my techniques I'll be entering a few ......... you're all safe for a while though :)   Ooooh and I used some mica powders for wings and stones ..........and what do you think of my halo round the moon .......... and yes I need more word stamps but I'm grateful for the one my friend sent me :)

  1. Hi Elaine, this card is so beautiful, but to meet the Lavinia Challenge rules, you must put in a link back to the Challenge. It would be a shame if the naughty Eileen has to delete your entry, lol. Hugs, Pauline, Lavinia Challenge DT member xxx

  2. Thanks Pauline, I didn't realise it had gone on to the challenge, to be honest don't understand how the link works anyway so I'll be on the safe side and see if I can delete it. Thank you for the comment on it :) xx
