Lavinia Stamps "Stag" in the mist card

I've been playing with my Lavinia Stamps again today, making this card featuring the very majestic looking stag.

I used two pieces of masking tape to protect the edges of the area I would be working on.  First I created the background using three shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Weathered Wood, Bundled Sage and Speckled Egg. 

I've used two shades of Versafine Clair (Nocturne and Morning Mist) for stamping the following Lavinia Stamps:  Stag, Foliage Set, Red Pine, Small Branch and Woodland Fern.

To create the misty look, I used a finger dabber with Hero Arts "Unicorn" white ink.

 

Lavinia Stamps "Foliage" Card

This morning I should be cleaning the caravan, instead I've been faffing making this foliage card.

I used the "Sundance" Elements Ink brayered on to one half of the card so that the colour fades out to one side.

Using a selection of Versafine Clair inks (Shady Lane, Morning Mist, Acorn and Chianti), I stamped the foliage using the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Maple Leaf
• Vine
• Small Branch
• Foliage Set
• Heartfelt Verse

I also used Gel Pens and Posca Pens to add extra touches to the card

Lavinia Stamps "Forest Inn" Tag

Today I received my order of the seven new Lavinia Stamps, so after I had listed them on my spreadsheet and filed them away in their correct sections, I pulled one out to use... it would have been rude not to! 

For the background, I used a piece of card that I had used to mop up blue and pink inks from a previous project, and cut it into a tag shape.

I stamped the new "Forest Inn" (toadstool house) in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then stamped it again on a post-it note and cut around the shape to make a mask, (after I have used the masks, I retain them for future use).

Laying the mask over the image on the tag, I created the landscape and then stamped the trees, using the "Red Pine" trees in first and second generation stamping using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Using the same ink, I stamped the "Path".  In the foreground I stamped the "Creeping Vine", the "Small Branch" and foliage.

I used Distress Oxide Inks and Van Goch Pastel Pencils to colour the scene, adding touches of gelly roll pen and Posca Pens too

Lavinia Stamps "Hare Set"

I loathe to throw out small pieces of card, so this morning, I set myself a challenge of using a piece of white card measuring 8.5cm. The central image measures 5.5cm.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Wild Hare Set
• Foliage Set
• Small Branch
• Heartfelt Verse

I stamped in Versafine Clair Inks on a background using Distress Inks.

Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Castle" Card

Today, I am back with another Lavinia Stamps make.

I stamped the "Fairy Castle 2" and the "Path" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then stamped them again on a post-it note, cutting around the image to make a mask.

I masked off both the castle and path then used Distress Oxide inks with the Lavinia "Floral" stencil.

While the mask was still in place, I stamped the "Christmas Tree Group" in first and second generation stamping using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

I coloured the castle and path using Distress Oxide Inks and Derwent Inktense Pencils.  I then multi stamped the "Small Branch" using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I used the "Foliage Set" with various shades of inks to create the flower bed at the foregraound of the card.

I added berries to the tree branch and created flower heads using different colours of Posca pens.

I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair Inks using the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Forest Spruce

Lavinia Stamps "Maka" Birthday Card

It seems that Lavinia Stamps is my brand of choice at the moment, as here is another birthday card I've made using them. 

For this card, I have used a Lavinia "Moon Mask" and then coloured the background sky area with "Violet Chalk" Element ink, then Chipped Sapphire" Distress Oxide ink to give the sky depth.  For the lower area of the card, I have used "Graphite" Elements Ink.

I have used the following Lavinia Stamps, (stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" and "Morning Mist" grey inks).  Maka the sitting wolf, Tree Branch, Gip, Small Branch, Floral Set and Foliage Set.

I have used white, red and purple gelly roll pens for hightlights.

The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn and is part of their "Simply Sentiments" stamp set.

Thanks to Lisa Taggart, who is on the Lavinia Samps Design Team, as I have used some aspects from one of her tutorials for this card.

Another early morning crafting session as I couldn't get back to sleep.  I'm so glad I have crafting to fill these early hours.

I used an assortment of Lavinia Stamps :  Fir Cone Branch, Small Branch, Foliage Set and the Holly Pound Stamp all stamped in two shades of Versafine Clair Inks (Acorn & Shady Lane), I used a red Posca Pen to colour the berries and a gold gelly roll pen to add the gold dots to the background.
