Lavinia Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I am so excited to be Guest Designing for 52 Christmas Card Thowdown!

The challenge this time is

I'll admit that this color challenge stumped me at first.

But in the end, I'm happy with it and used two

NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) stamps too.

After temporarily putting a circle mask for the moon, 

I used a straight edge and gently sponged gray ink on a piece of 

Neenah cardstock.

Then I used a snowflake stencil and applied some more gray ink

over that.

I removed the circle mask and used the circle stencil for a guide

and added yellow ink for the moon.

After stamping the main images, I used the circle mask and outlined

the moon with a Quickie Glue pen and added a bit of gold glitter.

I'm not sure I like the glitter, but it's not going anywhere.

You can see the shine better in this view.

Finally I added some Chunky White Frantage and heated from beneath the 

card for the feel of snow falling.

I hope you'll join us at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
