Lavinia Stamps Design Team Sample for Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 (Set 3 - 2)

Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 11am and 3pm.  This is a sample I made for the show.

I started off with two cream coloured tags.  I decided I would cover one with the flower head from the Lavinia Stamp "Fairy Buds" stamp, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.

I then turned my attention to the second tag.  I positioned "Harrieta's House" stamp with enough space for the "Path" and stamped both in Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink.  I masked both these and stamped the "Fairy Buds" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.

I removed the masks and coloured the house in different shades of Signo Glitter Pen.  I then filled the background with Distress Inks in shades of green and blue.  Then stamped the "Mini Leaves", again in Versafine "Shady Lane".

I then prepared the background page by using Distress Inks in "Vintage Photo", Crushed Olive and "Peeled Paint".  Once the tags were glued into position, I stamped the sentiment called "Once Upon A Dream".

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for Hochanda TV on 23rd April 2019 (Set 3 - 1)

Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 11am and 3pm.  This is a Design Team sample I have made for them.

I apologise for the multiple images and the poor photography.  As I have used mirror card, it is nearly impossible to take a photograph without getting my reflection too.

I used a piece of mirror card for the base of this card, applying the followint shades of alcohol ink to the surface:  Citrus, Aquamarine, Mermaid and Meadow.

I inked the top and bottom edges of the card and dragged the black Ranger Archival ink pad across the surface from top to bottom and then bottom to top (not cross ways).

Using the same ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Harrieta's House", the "Path" and the "Fairy Buds".  Once the Archival Ink was dry, I then dragged a Versamark clear ink pad across the surface (not fully flat, just enough to get a streaked look).  I then covered it with clear embossing powder and heated till the powder had melted.  To finish the card, I added black dots of Liquid Pearls to the Fairy Buds, Roof and the area between the door and the path.

The Dusk Garden #laviniastamps

I had a late night play session and created this piece.  The lovely background colours are a mix of several shades of Distress Oxides:  Festive Berries, Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany, Ripe Persimon, Fosilized Amber and Abandoned Coral.

I have used Lavinia Stamps throughout this card.  I started by stamping "Wild Vines" in Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink along the bottom of the card.  

Using Versafine "Black Onyx" ink for the rest of the card I stamped the "Nigela Damascena" thistles and the "Fairy Buds" (the tall flowers) then more "Wild Vines" and finally the sentiment/verse called "Embrace Your Dreams".

Finally I added touches of gold using a Signo Pen and touches of gold sparkle using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen and inked the edges in black ink.

Monochrome Hitching A Ride Tag (Lavinia Stamps)

When you can't sleep craft!  That's my motto for this morning, making this monochrome tag using all Lavinia Stamps.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps:  Mimsy, Moon, Fairy Buds, Fairy Foragers and a pound star stamp.  All were stamped in Versafine Black Onyx or Smokey Grey.
