Challenge 817 πŸ”·πŸ©΅

Good morning, it's Liz here with a new theme for this fortnight's Allsorts Challenge.  I've chosen the theme of.....

SHADES OF BLUE

It would be lovely to see our challenge blog flooded with creations in shades of blue.  Will you use blue inks, blue die cuts, blue embellishments or perhaps you have some blue patterned papers just waiting to be used. If blue is not your colour, there is always the theme of Anything Goes. Please remember a short explanation of products used is required to be eligible for prizes and top picks.

Two prizes of Lavinia Stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.


We start our inspiration with our Guest Designer Carol, thank you so much for joining us for this challenge....

Using Lavina Fairytale and Feather Leaf stencil
Using Lavinia Herbs and Delights collection, Tree of Courage and Hill House
Using Lavinia FantaseaForest Moss and Bullrushes
