This card was a late evening make, using the Art Impressions "Girlfriends - Wine Tasters" cling stamp for this birthday card for a friend. I stamped the image using second generation Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink as I didn't want hard solid outlines of the image.
I've coloured the image using assorted Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a paint brush. I've used a Lawn Fawn sentiment stamp from their "Simply Sentiments' stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.
Early February is a busy month of birthdays, so I am trying to get ahead of myself and getting the cards made ready for posting.
For this card, I have used a large sentiment from the Stampin' Up clear stamp set called "Big On Birthdays". I have stamped the image in Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" ink, then coated with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.
Once dry, I used a Lavinia Stamps stencil called "Leaf Trails" with "Milled Lavender" Distress Oxide Ink around the edge of the central centiment.
I have used Derwent Inktense colouring pencils to colour the flowers.
I have continued playing with the new release stamps from Lavinia Stamps, making this card using "Bella" fairy.
I've used a Distress Oxide Ink background with all stamping in Versafine Clair Inks (Nocturne, Shady Lane, Monarch and Verdant).
I have used the following Lavinia Stamps:
Bella
Lavender
Foliage Set
Floral Set
Mini Leaves
Mini Stars
Heartfelt Verse
I also added touches of Posca Pens and Gelly Rolls pens.
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.
A card I made for a special little person who will be six in a week or so.
I've used two Penny Black stamps for this card the "Just For You" clear stamp and the "Delicate Pines" cling stamp on a Distress Oxide Ink background. I have also used Inktense colouring pencils and Posca Pens for colouring.
I've used a Lawn Fawn "Simply Sentiment" for the birthday greeting, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.
This morning I've had a chance to play with another new "Lavinia Stamp" the "Bell Flower Vine" stamp.
Using a blending brush, I graduated the blending of "Evergreen Bough" Distress Oxide ink. I then used the same colour ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Laurel" stencil.
I then stamped the flower/vine design and the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.
Finally, I used a white gelly roll pen to go around the outline of the stencil design on the lower section of the card.
Last week, Lavinia Stamps launched a new set of stamps to add to their existing collection. Obviously, I placed my order immediately. The stamps arrived yesterday but I didn't have an opportunity to play with them, which I addressed today, making this card.
I've used two of the new stamps for this card: Woodland Sprite and Bogart the frog. I have also used Meadow Grass, Bugs and Small Trees stamps too.
I have stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, using first and second generation stamping. I have used Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a brush to create the background.
