52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
I realised today that it seems ages since I pulled out my Lavinia Stamps to have a play. To be honest it felt a bit odd, almost like I didn't know what to do with them. I've not felt like that for a very long time. Never-the-less, I got stuck in and made this card, using a little story I had in my head making this card.
"Once upon a dream, there was a giant coloured feather tree, that stood tall and proud, looking across the Kingdom of Hare"!
I coloured the background using "Peacock Feathers" and "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Inks.
I stamped the Lavinia Feather in an assortment of Versafine Clair ink colours (Medieval Blue, Charming Pink, Fantasia and Summertime).
I created the landscape by dragging ink over the torn edge of a piece of copy paper and then stamped the hares, which are part of the Small Hare Set.
I then stamped the sentiment and the Fairy Bells on the right hand side.
I added some highlights and colour with Posca Pens.
I've had a play with one of the new crow stamps released by Lavinia Stamps. This crow is called "Drake" and he is the large stand alone crow (rather than the small one from the set of three).
I used a background I had pre-prepared a couple of weeks ago. I used Distress Inks on the Gelli Plate. I used the following inks: Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feather. The large background with the strong colour was the first pull, the inner background that Drake stands on was the second pull.
To create the background on the inner background, I used the Lavinia "Feather" stamp, stamped in Versafine Clair "Monarch". I stamped the crow called "Drake" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne".
I added some Liquid Pearls in a "Blackberry" shade and some silver glitter and white high lights using Signo Pens.
This is my go to Christmas card this year, quick to make but with is lovely look to it. Unfortunately, the photograph doesn't pick up the clear gems on the tree!
For the tree, I used a Lavinia Stamps "Feather - LAV494". the sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called "Winter Memories". For both I have used a Versafine Clair ink in the shade of "Rain Forest". I've used sticky gems to decorate the tree.
With Christmas fast approaching I decided to dip my toe into festive waters and make a tag. I am really not feeling Christmas yet!
The Christmas tree is actually a feather stamp. Both the feather and the reindeer are from Lavinia Stamps.
I stamped the tree in Versafine Clair Ink using a colour called "Shady Lane". The reindeer is stamped in a Versarine Ink in the "Vintage Sepia" shade.
I painted the background using a brush and water colour pencils. I added snowflakes and the reindeer nose using Liquid Pearls.
Finally the sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called "Festival of Trees"
I decided to try something a bit different (for me). I used a background of blended Distress Inks, then stamped the Lavinia Stamp Feather (LAV494) in Versafine Ink.
Using a Sweet Poppy Stencil called "Floral Delights" I added the "Sweet Poppy Dimension Paste" and while it dried, I added some black and gold dots to fill the background area.
Finally, I used a Stampin' Up stamp from their "Flourishing Phrases" set for the sentiment.
