Lavinia Stamps "Magpie "and "Moss Cap Mushrooms" just for you card



I don't recall the last time I played wth my Lavinia Stamps, it was definitely a few months ago, likely before Hubby was diagnosed with bowel cancer in early December  I've just not been in the right frame of mind to craft.  Fortunately, he is making a good recovery from his operation, which is likely why I felt the need to use my stamps.

For this card, I used Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Moss Cap Mushrooms". I then used Versafine Clair "Acorn" ink to stamp the Lavinia "Star Cap Mushrooms".  

I used Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink and the torn edge of a piece of paper to create the ground.

I then used a Lavinia "Moon mask" with "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink to spotlight the top of the mushrooms.  Then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp one of the Lavinia "Magpies".

I used Derwent Inktense water colour pencils (Fern, Tan and Scarlet Pink shades) for colouring the mushrooms, along with touches of white gel pen.  I used red and yellow Posca Pens for the flowers in the grass a 3B pencil to darken areas.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the sentiment using one of the Lavinia 'Heartfelt Verse" stamps.
