Lavinia Stamps Barric The Crow Hexagonal Card

Here's a card I made using a Julie Hickey "Layers, Frames & Banners Hexagon" Die with Lavinia Stamps.

I used Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron) for the background colour.

Stamping has been done in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink or "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide ink.

I built the image up using the following Lavinia Stamps for this card:  "Barric", "Tree Branch", "Lunar Buds", Pound "Mini Leaf 5" Stamp.

Lavinia Stamps - Star Gazing Engagement Card

Friends of ours have recently got engaged, so I made this card for them using Lavinia Stamps.

I used a piece of Shenandoah patterned paper and enhanced it with Distress Oxide Inks in the shades of:  Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral.

For all the stamping, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. I stamped the "Star Gazing" couple, then masked off a circle and edged it in ink to create the sun.  I then stamped the "Dandelions".  

I tore a piece of paper and used that to create the landscape that the couple are seated on, by dragging a blender across the torn edge.

I then stamped the "Lunar Buds", the "Meadow Grass" and the "Wild Vines".

Finally, I stamped the sentiment using stamps from a Spellbinders set (ref STP-002).  I used a gold shimmer Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add highlights to various areas.

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for August 2019 Hochanda TV Show - Barric

On 22nd August 2019, Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV, highlighting thier fabulous stamps.  This is a Design Team sample I've made for the show.

I used Colorbox Inks and Brusho Paints on a  Gelli plate to create the background colour.

I stamped the "Tree Branch" stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" shade of ink.  I then stamped "Barric" the crow in Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" ink.

Using a Distress Oxide Ink in a soft pink shade called "Victorian Velvet" I stamped the "Lunar Buds" flowers, both on the central image and also across the bottom of a blank card too.

I stamped the word "dream" using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.  The word is part of a sentiment called "Once Upon A Dream".

Finally, using a white Signo Pen, I added highlights to the crow.  Using a silver glitter Signo Pen, I added touches of colour to the middle of the Lunar Bud flowers.

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for Hochanda TV on 21st February

This is the fourth set of  Design Team samples I have created for Lavinia Stamps, to be shown on Hochanda TV on 21st February 2019 at mid-day and 4pm

Sample 1

I created the background using a Gelli Plate and Brusho inks.  I stamped Sebastian the Seahorse and the sentiment in Versafine Clair "Monarch" shade of ink. I used Distress inks to create the rock shapes at the bottom foreground.  Then stamped "Lunar Buds" (from set 3) to create a fossil/lichen look.  Finally, I added spots of glossy accents to the eyes of the seahorse and to the water background and touches of white with a Signo Pen.

Here are the links to the Lavinia Stamps I have used for this sample:  Sebastian the Seahorse, Deeper than the ocean sentiment and Lunar Buds.

Sample 2

For Sample 2, I created a background using a combination of Distress Oxides and Distress Inks.  I masked off a circle for the moon and applied a Cosmic Shimmer "White Clouds" Blending Ink and left to dry.  I have only used one stamp for this card and that is Sebastian the Seahorse.  I stamped the main image in Versafine "Black Onyx" ink.  I then used the spines of the seahorse to stamp around the edge of the card, in Versafine Clair "Monarch".  Finally, I used a Signo Pen in silver to make dots through the water.  I used a white Signo Pen for areas on the seahorse too.  I added a spot of Glossy Accents to the eye area to make it more glass looking.

Here is the link to Sebastian the Seahorse if you would like to buy one too.

Sample 3

As the two other samples are quite busy with colour, I wanted the third to be clean and simple.  I used a Stix2 Masking Sheet and cut a circle aperture in it using a die.  I used the aperture/hole to mask off the edge area of the card and filled with Distress Inks using the following shades "Spun Sugar", "Picked Raspberry" and "Wilted Violet".  Both the seahorse and the sentiment were stamped in Versafine Clair "Monarch" shade of ink.

Here is the link to "Sebastian the Seahorse" and the "Deeper Than The Ocean" sentiment.
