My new favourite colour.......

Morning all.  Last night I decided to chisel away and make something that I haven't used yet from the NEC and decided on a couple of stamps from Lavinia stamps. I have decided at the moment that my new favourite distress ink is seedless preserves.  I can't think of a project recently that I haven't used it!


For this card I used:  Papermill white linen card & papermill black and teal for layers
                                 Distress inks: Seedless perseveres ( my new fav colour :-)
                                                       Shaded lilac 
                                                       Evergreen bough
                                                       Antique photo
                                 Lavinia stamps: Witches cat & climbing ivy
                                 The dragonflies are from card-io's dragonfly garden
                                 Ranger liquid pearls 
                                 

I lightly swept over my background with evergreen bough to make the pale green background. I then used ripped paper to make a mask for the ground and for the corners that frame the image.  I stamped on the cat and the dragonflies using black versa fine.   I stamped on climbing ivy using my chosen distress inks.  I framed the outside using a makeup sponge with antique photo and seedless preserves ( told you, I love this colour). The stars are stamped in evergreen bough, I applied liquid pearls and a sprinkling of glitter.  I then embellished the rest of the card using  liquid pearls.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog.  If you have enjoyed don't for get to follow.  I love hearing your comments too.
