Good morning everyone,
It's Saturday so it's time for another weekly Allsorts Challenge. This week I’m feeling really excited as having joined the DT last October, today is my first turn to host and choose the theme for the challenge - woo hoo!!😀
So .. the theme I have chosen is
Anything Goes with option of Use Something New
So if Santa has been kind (or even if you have been kind to yourself!) now’s your chance to play with your new stuff!! Otherwise we would love to see anything you make with your existing stash so long as you follow the guidelines at the top of the challenge blog.
This week we have another fabulous prize - Helping Hands has kindly donated a £15 store voucher.
Here's my card for this week.
As luck would have it, Santa (a.k.a. my husband) was very kind this Christmas, so I didn’t quite know which way to turn first for this theme! However I soon decided to ink up some of my new Lavinia stamps, and to make a card based around the fabulous Luna Tree Goddess stamp .. I was really surprised by how big this stamp is and couldn’t wait to get started as it is my first ever Lavinia fairy card!! 😍
First I inked my background sky using Distress Oxide inks and my largest Lavinia moon mask, then spattered the sky with water droplets before using more DO’s to create the landscape using one of the acetate hill masks. I stamped my background wording, fairy, trees and foliage, then highlighted the moon and Luna’s wings with Sakura sparkle pens. Finally I matted the piece onto black linen card and adhered to my card base, and adhered my sentiment popped up on foam tape.
Stamps: Lavinia - Luna Tree Goddess, Celestial Tree, Silhouette Foliage Set, Mini Branch, Mini Leaf 1, Faerie Spells; sentiment - unknown;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves, Black Soot); Versafine (Onyx); Versafine Clair (Twilight, Morning Mist); Sakura sparkle pens (Stardust and Pink).

Wow what a stunner, gorgeous and magical card.
This fairy was one included in my very first Lavinia order and I also made my first Lavinia stamps card with this fairy back in 2018 :)
Love how this turned out, a truly gorgeous scene and the little bit of purple on the edges looks so pretty!
Have fun with your new goodies!!
Such a beautiful card Pauline, you are truly enjoying creating with your new stamps and it shows in the finished card.

Hi Pauline, I saw this linky'd and had to come see details and tell you how stunning it is! And it's your first fairy card? Wowza! I hope you don't catch my curse. My first fairy card won over at Lavinia's challenge and then I have not done one since, so get started already on the second one! haha Luna is indeed larger than life and you have made her proud, xoxo
Beautiful card, I love your design. Thank you for entering our Anything Goes Challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.
