Details of our Challenge:
Every second Thursday a new Anything-Goes challenge will be posted. Use a clear or rubber stamp - no digitals. If your project features Lavinia World stamps, your chances to win a $15 gift certificate to the store are doubled.
I stamped with Paradise Blue VersaFine Clair, and heat set with clear detail EP. A heart was die cut from 2" wide Post-it Note "tape". After being inked with a masking technique, clear glitter was adhered to the heart shape, wings, and parts of the flower stem:
The sentiment was stamped using the same color ink as the masked background after being stamped off one time:
It's definitely not a conventional creation using silhouette images, but was lots of fun using tropical, oceanic colors:
Products Used:
Dies: Spellbinders Borderabilities, QuicKutz Nesting Hearts, Sue Wilson Double Stitch Octagons, Tonic Autumnal Oak
Other: Flowers, Blue EP and Blue Glitter, Clear Detail EP, Citrus, Sail Boat Blue and Spun Sugar inks

ReplyDeleteHi Donna, Lovely card. I like the colours you have used.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine temps that high. We had 24c today.
You take care. Sue
Wonderful card !! I loved how you have created the background.
ReplyDeleteTalking of the heat wave we are experiencing hottest summer after 2013 !! Tempratures are touching 45 degrees Centigrade.
Wow what a stunning card. Love how you did the heart and the background stamping and blending. What a fabulous fairy stamp, so pretty and I love this beautiful and creative card x. Many congratulations on the new challenge x
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty Donna. Perfect colours and I love the shape xx
ReplyDeleteOooh - so pretty Donna! I can see you are going to have fun with this Company! The colors you used are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning card for your DT Premier! So many great details, I especially like how you did the heart!
ReplyDeleteDonna this so stunning in every way. I am not a fairy person myself but I must admit that image is adorable and I love the glitter and shine you added to it. And, all the fabulous colors are perfect. What a great background with that pattern and the multi-colors. You have not lost your touch at all as this is super fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis is a magical project! It is the perfect way to start our first challenge!
ReplyDeleteTerrific creation, I just love all the special touches you gave to this, the background idea you came up with it so cool, great details to it, lovely shimmer. Love your mix of patterned leaves with the glitter eaves too! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Thank you for joining the challenge at A Bit More Time to Craft. Hope to see you again next time.
ReplyDeleteYou know... opening a US shop and having a challenge team is going to be great for business. I've already been over there looking and it's a first time for me. I see a few things I wouldn't mind having when I'm ready for my next shopping binge. Beautiful cards like yours make it very tempting. I love that you used a pretty shade of blue for your silhouette and highlighted with the yellow. Really makes it stand out and adds extra magic to it. Fairies just have to have fairy dust (glitter), too, so that must make you very happy!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Donna, I love your silhouette fairy and fabulous colour choices - so pretty.

Oh Donna, what a beautiful card! Love the background colours and design - so lovely to showcase the beautiful Aurora Fairy. She's one of my favourites :-)
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful glittery accents are the perfect finishing touch.
Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs ~ Lena
Starting off with a BANG! Well done! I love your background and that sweet fairy image! You have showcased her beautifully! The sparkly leaves and greenery are so pretty! I agree, these colors are FAB! This is one magical creation! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and great masking-love the beautiful silhouette stamps and it looks so different and a more softer effect in blue rather than the standard black-beautiful and love the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
This is stunning. I love the fact that you have used bright colours and haven't used black for the silhouette. Love Dawn x

Gee, thanks for enabling me, Donna! heeheehee No, seriously, I have become more and more interested in Lavinia stamps. I know a few artist friends who use them frequently and create the most gorgeous scenes, they rival Stampscapes, really. So, I'll check out this store. Your card is really lovely, that is high-maintenance masking, my brains explodes at the thought, lol. Bravo to you! xoxo p.s. What heat wave? We have lucked out...for now. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, thank you for sharing with us over here at Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge blog and best of luck with your entry.
