I have continued my play session with Lavinia Stamps today, making this holly wreath Christmas card.
I've used one of the recently released stamp called "Small Branch" multi stamped into a circle using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink. I then used two pound stamps, "Holly" stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink and the "Berries" and the "Heartfelt Verse: sentiment stamp, stamped in Versafine Clair "Tulip Red" ink.
I needed a sympathy card quickly so I could get it in the post, so made this card using the Lavinia Stamps "Wild Poppies" stamp, I added a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp "Clean Line Everyday" stamp set, both stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
I've been playing with my Lavinia Stamps again, this time making a vintage style Christmas card.
I used a Brusho background I had made a while back, sorry I don't recall which colours I used. I used an assortment of Lavinia Stamps (Swing Bed large, Wild Hare Set, Christmas Charms, Foliage Set, Spirit of Christmas sentiment set and a pound Holly stamp).
All stamping was in Versafine Clair inks: Shady Lane, Acorn, Fallen Leaves, and Summertime. I have also used a red Posca Pen for the holly berries and a white and gold Gelly Roll pen for various accents.
Yet another quick anniversary card. This time I have used three Lavinia Stamps (Midnight Meandering, Fairy Charms abd Live The Life sentiment), all stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
In the background, I have used the "Spun Sugar" Distress Oxide Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Splendour" stencil.
I made a quick card this evening using the new Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink called "Villainous Violet" through the Lavinia Stamps "Splendour" stencil.
I used Lavinia Stamps (Silhouette Grass, Pan, Silhouette Foliage Set, Heartfelt Verse and Twisted Vine Set) throughout this card, all stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. I also used a white and a silver gelly roll pen.
This afternoon I made a thank you card using the Penny Black "Fall Flourish" slapstick/cling stamp. I stamped the image in Versafine Clair " Shady Lane" green ink.
I used Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a paint brush to colour the image, using Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn. I used Antique Linen for the backbground colour.
I used a Waffle Flower stamp set called "Essential Sentiments" for the "thank you" sentiment, which was also stamped in "Shady Lane" Distress Oxide Ink.
Another anniversary card. There seem to be a lot of them to make at this time of the year!
I've used an old Provo Craft/Cuttlebug Embossing Folder that I've had for years to create the embossed border.
I've used the Julie Hickey "Happy Profile Die Set" for the central "happy" word. I have stamped the "anniversary" sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.
