52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Lavinia Stamps will be appearing on Hochanda TV with some fabulous stamps and accessories on Friday 22nd November at 10am and 3pm. Don't forget to pop it on record if you're not able to watch it live!
I am very fortunate to be part of the Lavinia Stamps Design Team, which means I get to play with the new products before they are on general release. This is a card I have made for the show.
For this card I used a background created with the Gelli Plate, Brusho Paint and brayered Colorbox Inks.
I stamped the "Fairy Fir Tree (small)" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink. I then stamped "Sirlus" the pegasus in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.
I created a landscape using the torn edge of a piece of copy paper, dragging ink downwards to create soft lines.
I highlighted areas using a white Signo Pen and used three shades of Liquid Pearls (Gold, Chestnut and Avocado) to give the impression of flowers within the grass.
Once dry, I mounted the image onto coloured card, stamping the "Seasons Change" sentiment vertically in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.
I had decided I wasn't going to do any crafting today, but the urge came upon me, so I decided to obey the call, making this card which I have called "The Wolf Call".
I used a background I had prepared a couple of weeks ago, which consists of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Spray in the following three shades: Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon and Spiced Marmalade.
I have used the following shades of Versafine Clair Inks on this card: Nocturne, Morning Mist, Shady Lane, Rain Forest and Fallen Leaves.
I started by stampin the "Tree Root" on the bottom left hand side. I then masked off the bottom two thirds of the card and stamped the line of trees using the "Forest Scene" stamp. I then stamped the "Small Fairy Fir Tree" and the "Small Fairy Fir Tree 2". I moved the mask to a different position and used it to mark out the landscape.
I then stamped "Valko" the standing wolf, the "Mini Slender Mushrooms" and the "Field Grass".
To finish the card, I added touches of white using a Signo Pen and some gold shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen.
Lavinia Stamps have created a stamp called "Fairy Chain". Each time I look at it, for some reason I think of the "Northern Lights, so for this card, I paired the two.
For this card I started with a sheet of Shenandoah paper with the tones that I wanted for the sky. I used all Lavinia Stamps for this card: Sacred Spells (stamped in Versafine Smokey Grey Shade, Fairy Chain, Spotty Toadstool and Small Fairy Fir Tree, stamped in two shades of Versafine Clair - Fantasia and Monarch.
For the snowscene at the base of the card, I used various shades of Distress Oxides. I also used a white Signo Pen and a Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add some shimmer and some Liquid Pearls for the dots on the toadstool.
