ANYTHING GOES AT MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES!

Hi lovely blogging friends - hope your weather is fabulous. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sun will shine on the happy Royal Couple tomorrow ~  and isn't is great to have something joyful happening in the world.
***********
Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun last week with the recycling challenge at MAWTT - there were some really amazing projects!
This week at MAWTT the Challenge theme is Pami's choice - "Anything Goes" - Yaayyy I hear you all shout!!  I know I did (thanks Pami)!! because I decided to indulge in a messy inky-fingers kind of day, and get out those Alcohol Inks which I love, but rarely use. So, here is my DT card:-

The Lavinia fairy has been stamped onto acetate with Black Staz-on, and only the image has been inked on the reverse with Alcohol Ink, with a little Glamour Dust here and there. 
The background was created on a second piece of acetate,  with more alcohol inks, then placed behind the main image piece. These were then layered onto white cardstock and secured with inked brads.
The black and green layers are SU card.  
The Toadstools and  branches at the base of the card are also Lavinia stamps.
The cream lace has been lightly coloured with Distress Inks.
Sentiment - Hero Arts.
*********
So peeps - let's see your fabulous creations - the prize this week is a beautiful floral Hero Arts stamp set  from our lovely Sponsors -
The Stamp Man
**********
I would like to enter my card into the following Challenges:-
Sparkles Forum Challenges - Anything Goes.
Joyful Stamper -  Anything Goes.
The Artistic Stamper - "Build it Up" (Layers).
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes, plus a BLOG HOP to celebrate their 2nd Anniversary!
Love to all ~
