Lavinia Stamps "Swing Bed" and the hares

I seem to be on a roll, my third card for the day.  I'm amazed considering how I was feeling about crafting earlier on this morning.This card is made using a selection of inks and Lavinia stamps.

Starting with the Lavinia "Swing Bed" stamped in Versafine Clair "Spruce" green ink, I then added colour within the swing bed area using the remains of "Paradise Teal" Ranger Archival Ink on my blending brush.  I then created the green landscape using "Leaf Green" Archival Ink with a Lavinia Stamps "Hill Mask".

Around the "Swing Bed" I used "Majestic Violet" and Cobalt" Ranger Archival Ink, using the darker shade around the edges of the card.  I then inked the edges with Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.  I used the Lavinia Stamps "Background Script" stamp with Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to get the slight impression of text, filling the blank areas.

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink to stamp the black flowers and leaves, which are Lavinia Stamps "Vine Set" and "Mini Lucky Clover" stamps.  I then stamped the two hares in the same ink, which are part of the "Wild Hare Set" of stamps.

Finally, I used a white gel pen for highlights and various coloured Posca pens to add flowers.

Lavinia Stamps "Wild Pine" Forest Scene Card

I'm back to playing with my Lavinia Stamps, mixing a couple of the new with several of the existing stamp collection.

I started with a 7x7 card and used a selection of Element Inks to create the background.  By the time I was happy with the inked background, I decided it was too large for what I wanted, so cut it down to  five and a half inch square.

I started by multi stamping the trees on the left hand side of the card, using the "Tree Den" and the "Tree Stem" with Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" dark brown ink.

I then stamped the "Wild Pine" tree in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink, I stamped the new "Leaf Bouquet" on the bottom right hand side of the card.

Next I stamped the Lavinia "Wild Hares" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I used the Lavinia "Hill Mask" with Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to create the landscape.

Next, I stamped the "Small Pixie Houses" using Versafine Clair "Morning MIst" grey ink.

I stamped the Lavinia "Small Branch" in Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" to replicate branches from the tree trunks.

Next I stamped the Lavinia "Vine" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink using first and second generation stamping.

Finally, I coloured in areas using Derwent Inktense pencils, gel pens and Posca pens.

Lavinia Stamps "Tree of Dreams"

As I had the Lavinia Stamps "Tree of Dreams" stamp out, I decided to make another card using it. 

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Tree of Dreams" in the middle of the white card.  I then stamped "Pipin" and one of the hares from the "Wild Hare" stamp set.

Using a black fine line pen, I extended the roots of the tree and drew a landscake.

I then used Archival Inks through the Lavinia "Elegance" stencil fading the pattern out towards the edges

I coloured the tree and the landscape using Derwent Inktense pencils.

I then used two shades of Versafine Clair Inks:  Purple Delight and Monarch with a blending brush to blend the edges of the cards fading towards the middle of the card.  I then edged the card in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I used Versafine Clair 'Purple Delight" ink to stamp the "Sacred Spells" verse around the edge of the tree.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" and "Morning Mist" I stamped the "Fairy Hives" hanging from the tree, adding dots of yellow Posca Pen to the windows.

I used an orange glitter and white gel pen to colour the climbers and to highlight the roots.  I then used the orange glitter pen to add dots around the tree, to give the impression of leaves.

Using Gold Stickles, applied with my finger tip, I added sparkle to the tree canopy.  In real life it looks really pretty, sadly the sparkle isn't picked up in this photograph.

Lavinia Stamps "Pipin" Congratulations Card

 

I've gone for a "CAS" look for this card. I rummaged through my box of dies, which I rarely use and really should make more use of them, settling on the Memory Box "Small Circle Burst - 98480" running it through my "Big Shot".  I then ran it though with another piece of card so that I had two central circles.

I mounted the white die cut card on to a piece of navy blue coloured card and then mounted it on to a white card blank.  I adhered one of the white circles the middle of the design.

I then stamped the "Congratulations" sentiment, which is part of the Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Words - Birthday" stamp set, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I then moved on to the spare white circle, using a pale blue and pale green Derwent Inktense pencil and applying a wash across the circle using a paint brush.

I used one of the Lavinia Stamps hares from their "Wild Hares" stamp set with "Pipin", both stamped in second generation stamping using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I then topped up the colour of the stamping using Van Gogh Pastel Pencil.  I used white, yellow and orange Posca Pens to create the impression of flowers.

Finally, I edged the circle with Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink and adhered it on to the card using foam pads to elevate the central area.

Lavinia Stamps "Block Print Stencil" hare card

I'm back from three nights away at the caravan and I have missed my crafting, so while the first load of washing was in the machine, I sat down and made this card using a Lavinia Stamps stencil and a handful of their stamps. 

I used three shades of Archival Inks:  Vivid Chartreuse, Leaf Green and Forget-Me-Knot through the Lavinia Stamps "Block Print" stencil, using the greens at the base and the blue at the top to replicate the idea of land and sky.

Using Versafine Clair "Acorn" and "Morning Mist" I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Tree of Hope", colouring it with Derwent Inktense Water Colour Pencils.

To fill the void under the tree, I used Versafine Clair "Verdant" light green ink to stampe the "Words of Spring" verse.

Next I stamped the hares.  Both are part of the Lavinia Stamps "Wild Hare Set", stamped in second generation stamping using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I then added extra colour using Derwent Inktense pencils and Van Goch Pastel Pencils.

I stamped the "Just For You" sentiment in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink. The stamp is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set.

Finally, I used one of the Lavinia Stamps "Hill Masksa" to create the landscape with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I added touches of Posca Pen in yellow and orange to give the impression of flowers in the grass.  I also used a white gel pen to add highlights to the hares and the tree.

Lavinia Stamps "Druid's Inn" and the hare card

It's another early morning crafting session for me today, creating this card using a selection of Lavinia Stamps 

I used a background from my stash that I had made some months ago, using spray inks with a spritz of the Lavinia Stamps "Mysticals" spray (unfortunately, it doesn't show up on this photo).  it was only a small background, so I had to work with the size I had, hence using landscape rather than portrait position.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps:  Druid's Inn, Tree Root, Small Branch, Forest Spruce and a hare from the Wild Hare Set with stamping in various shades of Versafine Clair inks.  I coloured using Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a white gelly roll pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Lori the hare" new baby card

This afternoon, I have played with my Lavinia Stamps, creating this New Baby card. 

In the background, I have used the Lavinia Stamps "Flower Mask" with "Salt Water Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.  I have then added a touch of extra colour to the central area of the flower using Van Goch Pastel Pencils.

I have used three shades of Versafine Clair inks: Shady Lane, Chiante and Acorn for the stamping.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps:  Lori, Wild Hare Set, Maple Leaf, Woodland Fern, Small Branch and Leaf Creeper.

I've used a white gel pen to highlight areas and Posca Pens to create the impression of flowers in the grass.

Lavinia Stamps "Fantasea" New Baby Card

This evening I had a play, making this baby card.

I masked a circle area off in the middle of the card blank, then used the stars, part of the Lavinia Stamps "Words 2 Stencil", using three shades of Ranger Archival Inks (Chrome Yellow, Vivid Chartreuse and Garden Patina).

Removing the circle mask, I shaded the white circle using "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink. I then stamped the Lavinia "Fantasea" boat using Versaifne Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of a Personal Impressions stamp set.  I used one of the hares from the "Wild Hare Set", setting him in the boat, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I coloured the central image using Van Goch Pastel Pencils.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights.

Lavinia Stamps "Fantasea" Baby Arrival Card

Today, I've made a new baby card using Lavinia Stamp stencil and stamps. 

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink with the Lavinia Stamps "Fantasea" stamp for the main image.  I coloured using Derwent Inktense Pencils and then used "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Ink through the Lavinia "Elegance" stencil.  

The sentiment is part of a Personal Impressions stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Pods" and "Pixy Houses"

I've used three of the Lavinia Stamps on this card: Small Pixy Houses, Flower Pods and Woodland Ferns.

I have also used the Tree Branch, Foliage Set, Fairy Bell Set and the Wild Hare Set from the exisiting range of Lavinia Stamps. All stamping is in Versafine Clair Inks.

The background was originally various shades of Distress Oxide Inks, which I have enhanced with touches of Pan Pastels, Van Goch Pastel Pencils.  I have also used Gelly Roll and Posca Pens.

Lavinia Stamps "Wild Hare in a Floral Wreath" Card

More Lavinia Stamps play from me today, this time creating a masked landscape within the floral wreath. 

I used Confetti, Graphite and Russet Orange Elements inks with the Lavinia Flower mask to create the central background colour.

I then stamped the "Floral Wreath" in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink, colouring the flower buds with "Villainous Potion" Distress Oxide Ink, applied with a brush.

I used the Lavinia "Hill Mask" with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist and "Monarch" innk to create the landscape.

I then used the "Small Trees" stamp set, stamped in first and second generation stamping of "Morning Mist" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then stamped the hare, which is part of the "Wild Hare Set".  Finally, I used a white gelly roll pen and yellow and orange Posca Pens for detail on the small flowers.

Lavinia Stamps "Liberty" and the Hare Card

I had a play with another of the new release stamps from Lavinia Stamps, using the new "Liberty" stamped in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze", coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils on an "Elements" ink background.

I used a hare from the Lavinia "Wild Hare Set" stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink and used the Lavinia "Every Dream" sentiment, also stamped in "Warm Breeze" ink.  

I added touches of a while gel roll pen and also light splatters of water to add interest to the more solid areas of the card.
