This is a very long over due Lavinia Stamps make. For some reason I've not used my Lavinia goodies for a long time, so it was nice to re-acquaint myself and have a play, creating this scene.
I started by stamping the Lavinia Stamps "Sunflower 1" in two shades of Versafine Clair inks. I used "Shady Lane" for the stem and leaves and "Summertime" for the flower head. I then painted Pebeo Drawing Gum over the stamped image to mask it from other inks.
I then painted the background colour, using a paint brush with diluted Distress Oxide inks. The colours I used are: Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn for the ground scape and Tumbled Glass, Speckled Egg and Weathered Wood. I then used Tumbled glass and Peeled Paint through the Lavinia Stamps "Laurel" stencil.
I used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Willow". I used the same ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Wild Summer Flowers". I then used Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Flora Set". Next, I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia "Small Pixy Houses".
I moved on to adding more detail, removing the masking fluid and colouring the sunflower with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a gold gel pen. I used a white Posca Pen to add flower heads t the "Wild summer flowers". Pencil detail for smoke from the chimneys of the Pixy Houses and a black fine liner pen for shading in various areas.
This is a wonderful scene using your Lavinia stamps Sam, and the sunflower makes a beautiful focal image with the wild summer flowers, and the sweet little pixie houses, and the hanging foliage and the stencilled laurel in the background going through the sky and into the green hills works brilliantly. x
