Lavinia Stamps "Under the sea" tag

This morning I made this tag.  For the base, I used the Lavinia Stamps "Coral Stencil" with three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet).

For the edge detail I used the spines from Lavinia "Sebastian the seahorse" stamped in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.  I then stamped the Lavinia "Zen Plant" in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.

I used the Lavinia "Fish Set" stamped in Versafine Clair "Bluebelle" and "Paradise".  I then stamped the Lavinia "Sea Bubbles in "London Fog" Memento Ink.  I then edged the bubbles with a white Posca Pen.

Lavinia Stamps Sebastian Seahorse and Urchin Card

I seem to be on a roll with my crafting this week.  Here's a card featuring Lavinia Stamps Sebastian the Seahorse.

I created the background by putting three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Blue Print Sketch) on to my glass mat, I then spritzed the ink and dragged a piece of white card through the ink till the surface was mainly covered in ink.  I used my heat gun to dry it before commencing stamping.

For this card I have used Lavinia Stamps throughout the project, starting by stamping "Sebastian" the seahorse in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the "Sea Urchins".

I masked the seahorse and the urchins and then used the "Marine Kelp" stamp with Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I coloured the kelp with "Peeled Paint" Distress Oxide, applied with a paint brush.  At the same time, I created reeds swaying in the background.

I used the "Sea Bubbles" stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, adding some white highlights to the bubbles, the seahorse and the urchins using a white Signo pen.

Lavinia Stamps - Sebastian the seahorse (on a gelli plate background)

Looking through my stamps, I realised it's been ages since I used the Lavinia Stamps "Sebastian the Seahorse".  The detail on it is stunning, so I decided to have a play.

I had a prepared 6" gelli plate background from a previous session a couple of weeks back, so decided to use it.  (It was Colorbox "Artichoke" colour ink brayered onto the plate, with splashes of turquoise coloured wet Brusho sprinkled on top of the brayered colour).  

I added some extra colour to the top of the circle as it was too light for what I wanted using a couple of Distress Oxide Inks.

I stamped "Sebastian" in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I stamped the background taller "Seaweed 2" in Versafine Clair "Verdant" light green ink.

I stamped the "Stones" in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink and coloured them with a metallic gold pen.

I stamped the darker coloured "Seaweed" stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

I stamped the "Sea Bubbles" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I added some touches of silver glitter using a Signo Pen.
