52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Every month, Lavinia Stamps have a new challenge. For October 2019 the theme is "All Hallow's Eve". You can enter up to five times. If your name is randomly drawn, then you will receive £40 of vouchers to spend on lovely Lavinia goodies.
This is the second card I have made as part of the Lavinia Stamps Design Team to help promote the challenge. Here's a little video I took of the card so that you can see the gold shimmer, which doesn't really show up too much in the flat photograph.
I used two shades of Brusho paint to create the background colour (Purple and Ultra Marine).
I used some Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder in a "Rich Gold" shade. I wasn't quite sure how to use it to be honest, initially I thought I could maybe get it to be loose like the Brusho, but it didn't work. What I did manage to do was to brush it across the page which created an interesting streaked shimmer effect to the surface. Not too dis-pleasing after all.
I masked the circle to create the moon and partially covered it with "Mustard Seed" Distress Oxide ink. I also used a little bit of white Stampin' Up ink too as I didn't want a solid looking moon.
I added some Distress Oxide Inks in two shades to create some definition in the colours. I used Wilted Violet and Chipped Sapphire. Using the Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I inked the edges of the card.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Tree Branch", "Barric" (the crow) and the spider which is part of their "Bugs" set.
I used a white Signo Pen to add highlights to the tree, crow and spider, I also added some stars using the same pen. I used a gold shimmer Sakura Gelly Roll pen to edge the moon.
Finally, using some sticky letters that I had in my stash from Scrapbooking, I added the word Spooked.
Here's a card I made using a Julie Hickey "Layers, Frames & Banners Hexagon" Die with Lavinia Stamps.
I used Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron) for the background colour.
Stamping has been done in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink or "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide ink.
I built the image up using the following Lavinia Stamps for this card: "Barric", "Tree Branch", "Lunar Buds", Pound "Mini Leaf 5" Stamp.
On 22nd August 2019, Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV, highlighting thier fabulous stamps. This is a Design Team sample I've made for the show.
I used Colorbox Inks and Brusho Paints on a Gelli plate to create the background colour.
I stamped the "Tree Branch" stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" shade of ink. I then stamped "Barric" the crow in Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" ink.
Using a Distress Oxide Ink in a soft pink shade called "Victorian Velvet" I stamped the "Lunar Buds" flowers, both on the central image and also across the bottom of a blank card too.
I stamped the word "dream" using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink. The word is part of a sentiment called "Once Upon A Dream".
Finally, using a white Signo Pen, I added highlights to the crow. Using a silver glitter Signo Pen, I added touches of colour to the middle of the Lunar Bud flowers.
On the 22nd August 2019, Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV, highlighting some of their fabulous stamp designs. This is a sample that I have prepared for the show.
I have used the "Northern Lights" technique I posted about a couple of months ago. Here is the link to the step by step photo tutorial to create the background landscape using these Distress Oxide Inks.
Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the following images: Tree Branch, Barric (the crow), Lunar Buds, Mini Leaf 1 and finally the "Once Upon A Dream" sentiment.
Finally, using a Saukura Gelly Roll Pen I added some soft gold shimmer to the outlines of some of the stamps.
