Lavinia Stamps "Pipspell" Seasons Greetings Card

The new release order from Lavinia Stamps called  "Faelight Chronicles" arrived at my house today, so after adding them to my spreadsheet of Lavinia Stamps and popping them in plastic wallets, it was time for my first play, making this card.

I used one of the Lavinia Moon Masks with "Sky Blue" Archival ink to colour the background.  I stamped "Pipspell" the mouse in second generation stamping using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the small branches around the edge of the circle, which are part of the new Lavinia "Winter Foliage" stamp set.  I used the fir tree branch from the same stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Rain Forest" green ink, in first and second generation stamping. I then used "Peat Moss" green Archival Ink to go round the top edge of the circle to make it a little more solid looking.

I created the land behind the mouse using a Lavinia "Hill Mask" with two shades of Versafine Clair inks:  Bali Blue and Morning Mist.

I coloured the mouse using Van Goch pastel pencils.  I added some red berries to the foliage and a three dots of "White Opal" Liquid Pearls for the berries of the mistiletoe hanging from the bauble.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia "Christmas Greetings" stamp set.
