I have two posts this morning - the MAWTT post is here.
Hello, dear blogging friends! I hope you are doing well - A little insight into my life...
I enjoy stepping outdoors, especially in the wee hours of night, to gaze upon the sky, regardless of the weather, and allow the Beauty of the sky and the quietness of the pastures to fill my soul with the Wonders of Life and the Splendor of Love. These nighttime "excursions" fill me with a type of inexpressible Awe-filled Gratitude.

Lavinia's Moon Gazing Hare depicts my experiences.
YOU KNOW that brings us to a new Lavinia World Challenge!
We are an ANYTHING GOES theme challenge using ANY brand clear or rubber stamp - no digitals. Winner receives
While "our" Lavinia World store is located in the US, it ships worldwide. In the US, buy $25 and get free shipping! Lavinia World carries other crafting supplies for your convenience.
I cheated with this beautiful pre-made background, and changed it up with inks and good old finger daubers to reflect an Autumn theme. I also tore a piece of copy paper as a mask, and created a larger spot for the Hare to stand on:
After inking the bottom portion with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, I dredged the area with a brown EP containing brown glitter for texture and dimension.
This angle shows off the autumnal color glitter atop the VersaFine Clair Nocturne inked dragonfly. With each movement of the card, the sparkle shows up in different places:
Here it is around the moon and edges:
I wish the heat embossed sentiment had been stamped lower, covering the moon - there is always next time! To better show the letters of the sentiment, a little white pen was added:
Dimensional Glue was added to the brown embossing powder, and coated with the autumn colors of glitter to provide more dimension and shimmer. A Quickie Glue Pen was used around the moon for more glitter. Specks of glitter surround the hare and a few are even in front of the hare for more depth:
Don't forget to play in our challenge! I honestly think these Lavinia stamps are the best quality clear stamps I've ever played with, and a heartily recommend them.

Loving the intense Autumnal colours Donna and the touches of glitter around the moon really draw the eye into the magical scene. It would fit in so well at Penny Black and More's animals theme, would love to see you over there!

Wow, another wonderful scene on a card from you, Donna. You rock!!! This card has such beauty in it. I love the hare and the sentiment and I love how you got that white around the sentiment. The glitter makes it look even more attractive.
Thank you for your kind words, Donna. Today was my 4 session and another two to go before we do a rerun of the programme. I have to say, this activity taught me a lot. I hope I will become a better person than what I was at the start of it. We started with Meditation as a thumb rule and we watched videos on the same topic followed by videos on gratitude, happiness and loving kindness. Next week I will do law of attraction or affirmations.
Love and gratitude,
Monica
Wowza, this is amazing! I'll bet it is even more fabulous IRL! Gorgeous details and I love that hare!

Hi Donna, I love this one. I have a thing for hares, particularly moon gazing ones.
Hope you are having a nice day. Sue
Oh Donna!! You have outdone yourself with this magical card! I love how you changed the paper into a fall background and using the white pen on the stamped images is perfect! That bunny gazing up at the full moon is so adorable! I love all the little stars on your card!
This is wonderful, Donna! I love the fall colors and the layers of hills on the bottom of this. It's so pretty!
I. LOVE. THIS. The papers are fantastic- I really should pull mine out to use them. I love the hare too- one of my favorite sets.
Totally beautiful!

Hi Donna this is a stunning card. I love the scene you have created with the deep rich colours. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Oh my goodness Donna what a stunning card, I love the scene and the hare gazing at the moon, it's beautifully designed and the glitter just makes the magic.
My hubby and I quite often go outside before bedtime to have a look at the sky, although we often have a lot of cloud, so the stars are obscured, but we have an observatory near us and go there to look through the big telescope, and the sky is much darker there, no light pollution, it's marvellous, Kate x
This looks amazing and I love how the gold accents certain areas and not everything. Love the before and after photos of the paper too. Another amazing creation Donna :-)
A fabulous card. I love the sentiment. Oh the colors on it are amazing. Beautiful job. [Bunny]``
The color you added to that wonderful background scene is awesome. I love the fine line of glitter along the side of the moon. And, the bunny is so cute looking up into the moon and sky!And I must say that is a wonderful sentiment. I love the little shadow of white with it.
What a gorgeous background for your card! Love how you did that! So happy you shared this with us at PIP Challenges!
A beautiful card Donna, you have created a wonderful scene ad I love your sentiment - I always love to see your Lavinia creations.

I have certainly found magic here on your blog, Donna! I love this card, as I am especially fond of rabbits. You did a fabulous job of altering the paper to make it extra special, and I love the gold accents, especially around the moon! I was thinking of you as we made our way through the more rural parts of Florida to see my Mom recently. I hope all is well with you, and that you will forgive my absence. There are just more things to 'do' every day; I thought as you got older your life was supposed to slow down! Sending hugs!
WOW, these colors rocks ! Perfect for our Fall Challenge over at Little Red Wagon.
Thanks for joining us this week @ Little Red Wagon and i hope to see you back again soon.

WOW! What an incredibly magical background you created for this scene, my friend! I'm really in love with all the Lavinia fairies but this card convinces me I need to branch out and check the other silhouettes, too. I don't even have enough words to express every emotion this card brings our of my heart. :-D I truly believe the truth of that sentiment.
Oh my goodness Donna what a stunning card, your scene is magical! love all the beautiful details, gorgeous stamping ..
Hugs Pam x
You're a woman after my own heart, Donna. I think you know that. And, ohhhhhh, how you've expressed both our feelings with this card. I'm in awe. The way you changed the color, did the highlights... love the hare. This is just SO beautiful!

Hello Donna! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely comments. I've been a follower of your blog for a long time, but in recent months I have lapsed with commenting due to time restraints. You always put so much thought and detail into your creations and I truly love reading your blog posts. This moon gazing hare is just beautiful and I love how you altered the background. The glitter adds a mysterious sparkle. A glorious card! x

Beautiful card, Donna, I love the bunny, I think they are my favorites. I love what you did with the designer paper background, of course it wouldn't be you without the glitter and sparkle!!!

I am completely with you on nightly walks. We do that too often and I love to see the differences in the moon, the stars and the creatures are work at night. We met a Barred Owl the other night - what a magnificent creature.
I am amazed at the color change you brought about on the background panel. Your card is just perfect - I love it.
Hugs Monica
Gorgeous card with the lovely and cute scene and I love your sentiment too!

Spectacular card. Those white shades are just perfect!
Your tutorial on this is priceless. I must try to follow your ideas/suggestions. The gold glitter makes the image both magical and gives the look of fire. I believe in magic from you. You are magical.
