Lavinia Stamps August 2019 New Release Stamps "Sneak Peek" (Zemira and Flutterbies)

On the 22nd August, Lavinia Stamps will release a colelction of ten fabulous new stamp designs.  On the same day, my fellow Design Team member, Jo Rice will be promoting a selection of stamps on Hochanda TV at 11am and 3pm, so don't forget to tune in.

Here's a "Sneek Peek" of one of my cards featuring some of the new designs.  I've used a gelli plate background using Colorbox ink brayered onto the plate with wet Brusho sprinkled on using a fan brush.

I've then used a Sweet Poppy stencil - SP1-269 (designed by Tracey Dutton of Lavinia Stamps) to create the background design using a Distress Oxide ink in the shade of "Ripe Persimmon".  I've used a metallic gold pen to add extra detail, a pencil and also a white Posca Pen.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink throughout, I stamped the figure "Zemira" and the butterflies called "Flutterbies".  I added some "Mini Slender Mushrooms", some hanging "Willow" and the word "Sparkle" from the sentiment called "Sparkle"

On the 22nd August Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV, some of the stamps available on the show will be brand new releases.  All ten new release designs will be available to purchase from the Lavinia Stamps web site on that day too.

For this card, all stamping was in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, with the exception of the background Skeleton Trees which were stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" shade of ink.

I have used a background of Brusho paints in shades of greens and blues.  I stamped the "Willow the Witch' and the cauldron, the the "Colony of Bats".

I then stamped the "Skeleton Trees" in the background using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink.

I created the background landscape by using a torn sheet of card and Distress Oxide Ink.

I added the "Mini Slender Mushrooms" and the leaves on the top right using the "Mini Leaf 5".

I added highlighted areas using a white Posca Pen and a gold shimmer Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

Lavinia Stamps August 2019 New Release Stamps Sneak Peek

On the 22nd August, Lavinia Stamps will be releasing ten new stamp sets.  Some will be on the Hochanda TV show, airing at 11am and 3pm, but all will also be available from the Lavinia Stamps web site.

As part of the Lavinia Stamps Design Team, I was fortunate to have a play with lovely new designs that stamp perfectly.

I created the background colour using Dylusion Spray Inks in the following colours:  Lemon Zest, Pure Sunshine, Squeezed Orange and Postbox Red.  Once the background was totally dry I commenced creating the image.

I masked off the moon and shaded the edges then gave the middle a lighter look by using a light covering of a Distress Oxide Ink called "Antique Linen".

I stamped the figure on the left, she is new and is called "Zemira" and the dragon called "Mideela".  I then moved to the right of the page and stamped "The Oracle" (she is an existing stamp in the Lavinia Stamp collection).All were stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

Using a Versafine Clair ink in the shade of "Morning Mist" I stamped the "Star Burst" flowers and then multiply stamped the "Dragon Verse" across the page.

I created the landscape that the figures stand on by using the torn edge of a piece of card and Distress Oxide Inks.

I decided the far left edge looked a little bare, so I used the "Vine" for that area and the "Mini Slender Mushrooms" for the base of the card, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne.

Finally, I added touches of gold shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  I added highlight areas using a white Posca Pen and coloured the Star Burst flowers using a selection of glaze pens.

Lavinia Stamps August 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks

I have been very fortunate to have a play with the brand new stamp releases from Lavinia Stamps.  There are ten new stamps in total and all of them are fabulous.  This is a card that I have made with four of the stamps.

For this card, I used the gelli plate to create the background, brayering on two shades of Colorbox Inks (Mustard and Coral), splattering some wet Brusho paint onto the surface using a fan brush to create the mottled look.

I stamped all the images in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, starting with the "Dragon Verse" which reads

Dragon beast soaring high

Beating wings through the sky

Flames of fire blaze through the air

Red eyes watch you with a luring stare

These beasts of nature feared by many

some would agree it is but envy

Wild but timid their free spirits fly

Their sacred sould will never die

I then stamped "Ollar", he's the large one at the bottom of the card. Then one of the dragons from the "Dragon" set (top left) and finally the "Mideela small" stamp (top right)
