Time Flies

 This week has just flown by and I realise I've not posted since Monday so here is a card to share which was made a while ago when I was trying to use up some small tall card blanks which I've had for ages.  I used a stamp which I bought in a sale - stamped, coloured and fussy cut.  A polyplate was used with Distress Oxide inks to make a background panel and a die cut sentiment added.

Allsorts Challenge #805

 The current challenge at Allsorts is seasonal **Magic of the Season** with the usual option of anything goes - a lovely prize too.  For my bit of magic I turned to Lavinia stamps to build up a wintry scene and used a stag and some trees stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  Winter branches were added to partially frame the scene, stamping with black and then with white which was embossed.  There are some subtle glittery highlights on the snowy ground but they don't show up well in the picture. 

Stamps - all from Lavinia
Inks - Versafine Clair Nocturne and Elements Violet Chalk

Quick and Easy

 It's good to make quick and easy cards now and then as a break from the more intricate ones and this one was made using a Stickeroo image, a random die cut which was on my desk and also some background paper and simple sentiment.
