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.

Lavinia Stamps "Dream" card / journal page

 

I've had a messy, but enjoyable couple of hours making this card/journal page today,

I started with a square piece of white card which I lightly spritzed with water.  I lay the Lavinia Stamps "Charming" stencil over the top then lightly sprinkled two shades of Colourcraft "Brusho" paint granules over the surface.  The colours I used were Gamoge and Sea Green.  I removed the stencil and used a heat gun to dry the surface.

I then used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink to stamp the two corners using the Lavinia Stamps "Tangled River Root Corner stamp.

Next, I used two shades of Versafine Clair ink (Cheerful and Summertime) to stamp the Lavinia "Texture 1" stamp.  Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the word "Dream" which is part of a Lavinia stamp set called "Inspire me".

On an off cut of the Brusho background, I stamped the Lavinia verse called "Magic Surrounds Us" in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.  I then tore the piece into two sections and then tore the edges, inking them with Versafine Clair "Summertime" orange ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Summertime Ink to stamp the Lavinia "Moss Flowers" stamps, which I then fussy cut and stuck on to the card.

Finally, I added yellow dots of Posca Pen on to the corner details. I added dots of "Prickly Pear" Liquid Peals to the middle of the flowers and also to some of the now yellow dots to add variety.
