Lavinia Stamps "Rose Wreath" Card

I'm still playing with the new Lavinia Stamps.  I seem to be swinging from one busy card, to a quieter design.  With this card, I have used a selection of old and new stamps. 

To make this card, I started by stamping the wreath, using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the left and right "Wreath Flourish Stamps". I then coloured the leaves, by painting with Derwent Inktense water colour pencils.

I then filled in the cetral wreath area using "Coffee" Archival Ink through the new Lavinia "Waffle Stencil" with a very small stencil brush.

Next I used the new Lavinia "Rose Set" for the roses, stamping in Versafine Clair "Chianti" which is a dark red ink.  I then coloured the roses using Derwent Inktense Water Colour Pencils, applied with a brush.

I decided more foliage was needed, so added some using the Lavinia "Flower Collection" and "Foliage Set" stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" and "Acorn" ink. I added touches of gel pen to replicate tiny flowers.

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

Lavinia Stamps "Nadolig Llawen" Christmas wreath card

Today I have pulled out my Lavinia Stamps to create this Christmas card. 

I started the wreath by stamping the left and right "Wreath Flourish" in Versafine Clair "Rain Forest" Ink. I then multi stamped the "Small Branch" in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.

I then moved on to multi stamping the leaves and berries which are both from the pound stamp section, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink and "Red Tulip" ink.  I used a dotty circle pound stamp with Briliance "Galaxy Gold" around the edge of the wreath.

I used a gold glitter pen to fill in the leaves on the wreath flourish.  A red glitter pen on the berries and also a white gel pen for the light on the berries.

Finally, I stamped the "Nadolig Llawen" sentiment which is part of the "Welsh Words" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

Day 13 of "24 Days of Tags 2021" with Karen Telfer

 

Day 13 and I am still tagging along with the Karen Telfer "24 Days of Tags 2021" challenge.

For todays tag, I have used Squeexed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink on a gel plate, tapped water droplets on the plate and then took an impression.  I used a heat gun to dry the surface.

Once the surface was dry, I used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink to stamp the sentiment (Lavinia Stamps "Winter Magic" verse) in both first and second generation stamping.  

I then used the same colour ink to stamp other Lavinia Stamps images using their "Wreath Flourish (left)" stamp and their "Snowflakes" stamp set. I then inked the edges of the tag with "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide Ink.

I used a coloured pencil to colour areas of the wreath and then added dots of "White Opal" Liquid Pearlsto the middle of the snowflakes.
