How can I be on my sixth make with the new Lavinia Stamps release called "Coven of Curiosities"! I have to say, I am really loving this collection!
I put some "Greensleeves" and "Olive" Elements Inks on my glass mat, gave it a spritz of water then placed the Lavinia Stamp "Ivy" stencil over the top. I used a kitchen towel to mop up and press the stencil down on to the ink, then placed the stencil (wet side down) on to a plain tag. This transferred the now coloured ivy pattern on to the tag.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Esme" the witch, a bird from the new "Ravens' stamp set, and text from "Spirit Signs" stamp set. I used Versafine Clair "Pinecone" to stamp the "Tree of Wisdom" stamp.
I edged the tag with "Lime Punch: and then "Pine" Elements inks, colouring the tree trunk with Distress Oxide Inks. Using touches of yellow Posca pen for flowers and a white gel pen for details to the witch.
Can you slow down please Sam, I can't keep pace with your productivity...lol. You have made another beautiful tag using these Halloween type images, although of course they can be used in other ways. I love the ivy and the script in the background, and of course the cute witch and knarled old tree, and a raven flying across the moon for good measure, and the little yellow flowers and touches of white pen on the witch finish it brilliantly. x
ReplyDeleteHa ha, sorry about that Pat. As you may have gathered I am enjoying being back in my craft room
DeleteI realise this morning looking back to see where I had got to with commenting that my spelling was up the creek with the 'gnarled' spelt wrongly with a 'k'..I'll put it down to the late hours I keep, as I'm definitely a night owl. x
DeleteThat's fine, don't worry about it. Mine is often wayward, especially if it's a middle of the night session.
