Althea's Friends {Lavinia World #42}

 Hey everyone, it's time for a new Lavinia World Challenges #42! The theme is anything goes using a stamped image (no digis) and the winner will receive a $15 gift card to Lavinia World.

I am so happy to share with you the new Fairy Cuts dies that coordinate with Lavinia stamps.  These dies are manufactured under license from Tracey Dutton of Lavinia Stamps Ltd.

I've used the following products, which can be found at Lavinia World, for today's project. 

Fairy Cuts: Mermaid 1 (coordinates with Althea)
Fairy Cuts: Fish Friends (coordinates with Fish Set)
Althea
Fish Set
Lavinia Stencil: Coral

I started out by stamping Althea with a pink ink pad and the fish with a black ink pad.  I then used the Fairy Cuts dies to die cut out each one.  These dies cut great and I didn't have any issues at all!

Color was added to the die cuts using gel pens, paint markers, and glitter markers.

Next, the watery background was created using Distress Oxides and the Lavinia Stencil.  I purposely curled the edges of the cardstock up so that it gave it more dimension.

This focal point was adhered to my patterned cardstock and my sentiment, a die cut from Frantic Stamper, was adhered toward the bottom.  

Now it's your turn and I hope you'll join us.  You can either upload your newly created 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.  

You can share your projects with us on the Challenge Blog, Facebook, Instagram, and our Anything Lavinia Facebook group:
