Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities - Make 11 - Tag Tuesday

I've been up stupidly early, 1:30am to be exact as I couldn't sleep.  Too much "stuff" whirling round my head.  So I decided to get up and potter in the craft room, eventually making a tag.

I used the Lavinia Stamps "Waffle Stencil" for the background, with grey and blue ink that was on my blending brush from a previous project. I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Penelope", "Specter the raven" and the "Hallowmere" sign post,

I used a moon mask and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink for the spotlight/moon, filling the area with a subtle glitter from using a "Wink of Steller".  I then used the same ink with the torn edge of a piece of copy paper to create the landscape.  Using a 2B pencil and black fine liner for shadows and grass, adding a touch of colour with Posca Pens for the flowers and a white gel pen on "Penelope" the witch.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release - make 3

 

When I first saw the cute little witches in the Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release, which is available to purchase from today, I had in my mind how I would like to create a card. This is what I had in mind an ink pad card.

My ink pad of choice for this card was the "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Ink pad.  I inked the edge of the lid and then put it down on the card.  I then painted the inner area of the square with the same ink, drying with a heat gun.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Hallowmere" sign post and "Penelope" the little witch.

I used one of the Lavinia "Hill Masks" with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to create the landscape.  While the ink was out, I added the moon/spotlight circle behind the witch uisng a mask.  

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I added some stamped foliage using the "Mini Leaf 2" stamp around the base of the signpost. I then used the same ink to stamp the "Mini Leaf Creeper" on the top right hand corner.

I added touches of black fine liner pen for shadows, a white gel pen for detail on the the dress and leaves and Posca Pens for the flowers in the foreground.  Finally stamping the "Magic Dwells" verse below the image, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink,
