Lavinia Stamps "Abstract Zia"

It's funny when you look at some things, you see things others may miss - or maybe it's just my strange thought progress?  Anyway, this happened with this stencil, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps new release of a set of 4 stencils called "Autumn Mist Collection". All I could see was shoulder length ladies (or mens) hair, which made me laugh to myself.

I then took is a stage further, by adding the printed laminate sheet over the hair of Lavinia Stamps "Zia", which made me laugh even more!

I thought of this on Friday.  Today is Sunday and it has been playing on my mind, so I decided to have a rather random play, not thinking too much about what I did and the colours I used.  The card at the top is the result of my play session, it's a little bit "abstract" and likely not to everybodies taste, but a play session it was and I have now "scratched that itch".

I've used the following products:

Lavinia - Autumn Mist Stencil

Lavinia  - Zia (face) stamp

Lavinia - Head dress stamp

Lavinia - Coral Stencil

Lavinia - Creativity word stamp

Versafine Clair inks in lots of different colours

Gold gel pen

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.
