More play with "Noof" the new cat stamp from Lavinia Stamps.
I have used the following Lavinia Stamps :
Today, I have paired a brand new Lavinia Stamp (Basil from the Basil and Bibi Set) with an older one called "Hobbit House".
I used the following Lavinia Stamps for this card:
This morning I received my order of the seven new stamps released by Lavinia Stamps on Thursday. Included in the seven is a fabulous stamp of a cat called "Noof", so I obviously had to try him out!
Noof Is a large stamp, which I inked and stamped the image with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. I also stamped the new "Witches Hat" that Noof is wearing in the same ink.
I grounded Noof using "Graphite" Elements ink and more Nocurne.
Around Noof, I used the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf Stencil" with "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.
I coloured the hat using Derwent Inktense pencils and coloured Noof using the Elements Ink "Graphite" applied with a paint brush.
At the base of the card, I stamped foliage using the Lavinia "Foliage Set".
I added splatters of colours to the background using "Seedless Preserve" and "Rustic Wilderness" Distress Oxide ink, I also diluted some white Gesso and splattered that around Noof too.
Finally I added touches of sparkle using a glitter gelly roll pen.
This morning, I have been playing with one of the older Lavinia Stamps, called "Briar Rose" which I have paired with the "Leaf Mask/Stencil".
I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Saltwater Taffy and Iced Spruce) through the Lavinia Stamps "Leaf Mask/Stencil".
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the fairy, called "Briar Rose", I then grounded her using the same ink with a stencil brush.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" in both first and second generation stamping, I stamped the "Willow" and the "Foliage".
Finally adding touches of a white gel pen and silver glitter pen.
I tend to keep general life out of my blog but the citizens of Ukraine and the awful situation they find themselves in is on my mind!
Sentiment by Visible Image (Equality, Hope & Love stamp set). Tear drop by Designs By Ryn (Trickling Water set) and the Sunflower by Rubbadubbadoo.
This morning I decided to play with a new Distress Oxide Ink, recently released by the Ranger/Tim Holtz brand combo. The ink is called "Saltwater Taffy" and is a soft coral pink shade.
I stamped the Penny Black "Brilliance 40-806" cling stamp in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" second generation stamping to achieve a light coloured image. I then coloured the leaves with "Crushed Olive" and "Rustic Wilderness" Distress Oxide Inks. I felt it needed more colour, so I added contrast using Derwent Inktense pencils. For the berries, I used "Festive Berries" Distress Oxide Ink, adding extra detail with coloured pencils and a white Gelly Roll pen.
I then moved on to the background, using a Funky Fossil Designs stencil called "Micro Dots" with the new "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.
I stamped the Lavinia Stamps sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink. I then added splatters of white and black dots using Posca Pens.
Here's a birthday card I made using the Penny Black "Tweet Wishes - 40-298" cling stamp set. I've stamped in Versafine Clair Inks, coloured with Distress Oxide Inks and Gelly Roll Pens .
