Today, I have made a card in the style of a dear friend, Eileen Godwin. She has inspired so many people over the years and I love her work.
Starting with a white piece of card, I used a circle mask to create the background coloured circels using Range Arcival Inks. The colours I used are: Prickly Pear, Tiger Lily and Sky Blue.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Blackthorn Chapel", "Pixie Lanterns", one of the rats from the Lavinia "Ragwort & Strawson" and one of the birds from the Lavinia "Poe & Noctis" stamp set.
I then used two of the recently released Lavinia stencils, with the same Ranger Archival Inks (colours as above) and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink. The Stencils used are: Baroque Flower Stencil and Distressed Chequerboard Stencil.
Using a black fine liner pen, I drew circles. I then stamped text round the large circle using the Lavinia Stamps verse called "Forbidden Secrets", using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink. I then stamped the word "Silence" which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Nightfall" stamp set.
I gorunded the tree and the rat using a 2B pencil and a paper stub. I coloured areas with Van Goch Pastel Pencils and a white gel pen, Finally adding some whie and black splatter dots with Posca Pens,
This has so much interest Sam with the background stencilling and such a pretty mix of colours, and the stamped images look great with the finer line pen circles around them as well as the sweet little mouse looking on placed in the lefthand corner, and a great idea to add the script around the large circle which is the focal point and all beautifully coloured too. x
