Make a Wish

My daughter-in-law has a fascination for and collection of snails.  So to make her birthday card I started looking at my snail stamps and found it lacking.

I've become fascinated by Lavinia Stamps and their videos.  The finished pieces are so pretty and beautiful. So, I had to get my hands on some, and give it a try.   I was able to get this fairy riding a snail and a few others.  The text stamp has the word "Celestial" in it; and our last name is Celeste!  Perfect!
I followed some of the techniques (alcohol ink on Yupo, and then alcohol ink lift) on this video by Lavinia Stamps.  I don't do their work justice - check out their YouTube videos.  But I had fun playing and I'm pretty sure my daughter-in-law will like her card. 

I'm putting this into Lavinia World Challenge #30 - Anything Goes
And into
The Fairy and the Unicorn Challenge - 
ANYTHING GOES AS LONG AS IT IS A FANTASY CREATION

Here is the inside of the card.  I used one of "lifted" pieces for the inside. 
Supplies:  front side stamps(Lavinia), alcohol inks, alcohol ink lift, yupo paper, Make a Wish die (Impression Obsession), glitter paper

I'll leave you a photo of a sunset from my front door a few weeks ago.  Now that is beautiful!! 
Thanks for visiting.  Stay safe and stay well.  
Until next time. . .
