Couldn't Be More Different

Welcome to my blog, I have two creations today and they couldn't be more different to each other, it's a new month for challenges Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Trees, Leaves Or Autumn', well I had to go with my new Lavinia stamps for this one.  I normally struggle with this kind of theme, so it was so nice to be able to just start stamping and inking and no worrying about what I was going to do.  First I created the background with a Gel Plate, then kept adding the stamping in various colour inks.  Stencilled in a moon, added some highlight with a white gel pen and some shimmer round the moon with a gelly roll pen. You can't see it on the photo but I also added some Sprinkle Its in Iridescent Gold.
