Lavinia Stamps Botanical Blossom and Moss Flowers "Happiness" Card

 

I had an urge to play with my Lavinia Stamps, which resulted in this card.  I used 49andMarket "Green Jean" ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Elegance" stencil, with stronger colour on the right hand side, fading out towards the left side.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze: ink to stamp the Lavinia "Botanical Blossom" stamp. On plain white card, I stamped the Laviia "Moss Flowers" in two shades of orange ink, using Versafine Clair "Summertime" and "Carrot Orange",  I fussy cut the flower heads and glued into position.  I then painted the inner area of each flower using "Squeezed Lemonade" Distress Oxide Ink.

I returned to the Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink to stamp then "Happiness" sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Blessings" stamp set.  Finally adding some dots of white Ranger Enamel Accents.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 50

Well here we are on Day 50 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay challenge.  At the half way point!  Where have all those days gone?  I remember thinking on Day 7, "I don't think I can do this" well I am proving myself wrong!

Today is the first day of a new prompt.  This week is all about the "gel plate".

For my piece I used Paper Artsy chalk acrylic paints (Jade, Gold and Cayenne) on the gel plate with the Lavinia Stamps "Pebble Stencil" to achieve the pattern.

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Botanical Blossom" stamp at the top and the bottom of the card.  I used the same ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Creativity" sentiment in the middle of the card.

I inked the edges in Versfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and mounted the piece onto black and then white card, finally adding touches of a white gel pen to areas of the stamping.
