Lavinia Stamps Leaf Mask with Garden Poppy

Here's the card I've made this evening, again using Lavinia Stamps. 

I've used the Lavinia "Leaf Mask" for the background with the Lavinia "Charming Stencil" with several shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Wild Honey, Bundled Sage, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo).

I've stamped the "Woodland Hares", "Garden Poppy" and "Heartfelt Verse" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I've used some colouring pencils to add extra depth to areas of the leaf.  I've also used a selection of metallic pens in gold and bronze to add highlight areas.

Lavinia Stamps "Time To Reflect"

I've had another play with my Lavinia Stamps.  This one didn't turn out at all what I had in mind when I created the background.  

For the background, I have used four shades of Elements Inks:  Sundance, Sahara, Della Blue and Graphite.  I have also used "Dusty Concord" Distress Oxide Ink.  

All stamping was done using Versafine Clair inks:  Nocturne and Morning Mist.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps for this card: Tree of courage, Forest Hares, Woodland Hares, Silhouette grass and foliage.  The "Magic Surroundings" verse and finally the "Time to reflect" sentiment.

First Birthday Card #laviniastamps

I made this card for a special little person who will be one in about a week.

I used a pre-prepared background I'd made a few weeks back using Distress Oxide Ink Spray in Pistachio and Faded Jeans colours.

I stamped the Lavinia Stamps Skeleton Tree, Whimsical Hares, Woodland Hares, Field Grass and Mini Slender Mushrooms in two shades of Versafine Clair ink shades of "Fallen Leaves" and "Acorn".  I then masked off an area to create the landscape for the hares to sit on.

I then stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment from their "Stylish Sentiments" set.

I die cut two discs and also the number one.  Mounted them onto each other and glued into position.  Finally, I added highlighted areas with a white and a silver glitter Signo Pen.

Lavinia Stamps Artist Trading Coin #1

Having made the Artist Trading Coin Mini Album I decided I should make a coin to go in with it.

I used Distress Inks for the background and the following Lavinia Stamps:  Woodland Hares, Climbing Ivy, Creeping Vine and a pound stamp.

I think I'm going to enjoy making these little pieces of art.

Lavinia Stamps Sunset Hare and Foxglove Tag

Another Lavinia Stamps make today - it will be my #4 entry into their Creativity Challenge for the month of June.

I started off with a plain tag and dragged it through Tim Holtz Distress Oxides then dried with my heat gun.  

I then used a Visible Image mask/Stencil called "Time Tunnel", spritzed it with water and lay it over the tag for a minute.  Once lifted off, it leaves a faded impression of the original colours, it's a nice way to give detail to the background without it being too much in your face.  I then used the heat gun to dry the tag.

I then stamped one of the Lavinia Stamps "Woodland Hares" to the lighter area in the middle of the tag.  Next I used a torn piece of card and my Distress Inks to create a hilly landscape for the Hare to sit on.

I moved on to framing the Hare by using the Lavinia  Foxglove stamps, Birds stamps and the Creeping Vine stamps all stamped in Versafine Ink.

Finally using one of the Lavinia Pound stamps I added some very light coloured stars in a Memento "London Fog" colour, to suggest a little magic.  I then added a few lighter areas with a white Signo pen.
