Hey everyone, it's Thursday and time for a new Lavinia World Challenges #22. The theme is always anything goes using a stamped image (rubber or clear, but no digis) and the winner will receive a generous $15 gift certificate to do some shopping at Lavinia World.
I used the following stamps for today's project:

For today's card I decided to play around with alcohol inks and glossy photo paper. I know that people say you should only use glossy paper and the photo paper doesn't work.....but I have a bunch of it and decided to see if it would work or not. Luckily, I had no problems using the photo paper and I liked the results.
As you can see from the above photo, I created two panels and used the same color combo on both of these. The only difference is the way I applied my felt blending tool. On the one on the left, I pounced the blending tool up and down on the paper. For the one on the right, I swirled it around. It created two completely different looks!
Next, using a Tonic Studio die set (Beautiful Bramble Square), I die cut the purple background using the outside die from the set. Using a stamp positioner, I then stamped the Flower Fairy onto the patterned background. I added glitter to her wings and to the berries. This was a whiteish-pink looking, semi-transparent glitter from Tonic Studios (Sparkle Dust) that actually changed color when placed on this background. I didn't realize it did that but I love the results.
I then used the alcohol ink panel that was on the left from the above photo and die cut the leaves using the same Tonic Studios die set. I added dimensional foam to the bottom and adhered it on top of my focal image.
Next I adhered these layers on top of the second alcohol ink panel I created. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine black ink and then framed it using the Poppy Stamps Stitchwork Rectangle Frames. Glitter was also used to accent each of these frames.
Now it's your turn to join us. You can either upload your current project to the Challenge Blog or you can join our Anything Lavinia Facebook group and upload your project there.
If you upload into the Anything Lavinia album, your project must include something Lavinia (stamps, paper); if you upload to the Challenge Blog, anything goes as long as you have used a physical stamp on your project.

Anne, I always appreciate the extra steps and explanations you make on the techniques you use. I especially love the AI treatment for that Tonic set! That's in my stash, too! Now I have more ideas! LOL Fantastic creation! Her pretty wings are color coordinated with your frame, right down to the tiny buds on the fairy's branch. Beautiful! hugs, de
