Lavinia Stamps Hummingbird Card

 

I was up early so headed to the craft room for a play, making this card.

I started by using the Lavinia Stamps arch stencil, which is part of their "Sticker Stencil 5" set, using two shades of Ranger Archival inks.  Chrome Yellow for the base then Orange Blossom through the Lavinia Stamps "Cryptic Stencil".

I masked the arch off then around the edge used "Orange Blossom" and "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil.  I shaded the edges of the card using "Twilight" Versafine Clair Ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the "Mystic Swirls" to oposite corners of the arch.  Within the arch, I stamped the Lavinia "Words of Spring" verse.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the small Lavinia Hummingbird.  I then stamped it again on a piece of white card, fussy cutting the second stamped image and sticking into position over the first stamped bird.

Finally, I added some spots of black Posca Pen and then added a touch of gold shimmer to the wings of the bird using "A wink of stella".
