Lavinia Stamps "Willow the witch" card

After being away for a few days, I felt the need to craft, so made a quick Halloween card this evening.

I used a Brusho background from my stash, that I had made some months ago. I stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, using the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Willow the witch
• Bats
• Foliage Set 2

I added touches of glitter pen, white Signo Pen and darkened the edges of the card using more Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

Lavinia Stamps "Halloween 2021" Card

With the extra hour I gained this morning, I made this Halloween card. 

For the base, I used a brayer to apply four Lavinia Element inks (Lime Punch, Olive, Sahara and Russet Orange).

For all stamping, I have used Versafine Clair Inks with Lavinia Stamps.  These are the stamps I have used for this card:  Tree of Courage, Tree of Hope, Willow the Witch, Bats, Forest Spruce and one of the star pound stamps.

I have also used a black Posca Pen, a gold shimmer Gelly Roll pen and some colouring pencils.

Week 44 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 44 is "Spooktastic"!

For my tag, I started by filling in a circle area as the moon using "Scattered Straw" Distress Oxide Inks.

I created a mask of the Zombie/Mummy shape and the moon and then coloured the background using several shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint and Black Soot

Removing the masks, I then used a low tack tape to hold the "Funky Fossil Creepy Characters Stencil" in position.  Through the stencil, I used the "Forest Moss" shade of Distress Oxide Inks.

I used a Faber-Castell Black Matt 8B pencil in a cross hatch way to cover the Mummy figure and also to create the ground that he stands on.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink, I stamped the Stampin' Up tombstone, which is part of their "Spooky Fun" stamp set.  I also stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Bats".

Finally, using a Brother label maker, I printed off the "Spooktastic" label and adhered it at the base of the tag.

I made this card as a Design Team Project to promote the monthly challenge.  I have used a Colorbox Ink and Brusho paints on a gelli plate to create the background colours.

I masked off a circle and filled it with "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink, to lighten the circle.

I used black Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink to stamp the "Far World Castle", the "Tree Scene" trees, the "Bats" and the "Fairy Web".  I edged the moon in the same ink too.

Finally, I used a white Signo pen and a gold Sakura Gelly Roll pen to highlight the spiders web.

Lavinia Stamps October 2019 monthly challenge make - "All Hallows Eve"

On the first of each month Lavinia Stamps announce the new monthly challenge prompt.  The theme for October 2019 is "All Hallows Eve".

You can enter five pieces into the monthly challenge.  The challenge closes on the 25th of the month and the winner is randomly picked so the challenge is not ability based.  The winner will receive £40 of vouchers to spend on lovely Lavinia goodies.  Good luck if you enter.

This is a card that I have made as part of the Lavinia Stamps Design Team to help promote the challenge.  I started by using Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks through a Creative Expressions stencil  called "Fade Away" to create the patterned background.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Witches Cat", "Bats", "Bat Colony" and the cauldron from the "Willow The Witch" set.

I then gave the background a light colouring of "Wilted Violet" Distress Oxide Ink using a blending tool.

Using the torn edge of a sheet of paper, I created the landscape by dragging a black ink blender.

I then stamped the "Spring Trees" and part of the "Let Your Spirit Take Flight" sentiment in Versafine Clair purple "Monacrch" ink.

Finally, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black Ink, I stamped the "Mini Slender Mushrooms".  I used a white Signo Pen to high-light the mushrooms and a gold shimmer Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add gold high-lights to other areas of the card.

Hocus Pocus Tag with Lavinia Stamps

With Halloween round the corner, I thought I would make a tag for the Lavinia Stamps monthly challenge with a title of "Hocus Pocus".

I started the tag by masking off a circle for the moon and shaded with Distress Inks.  I then added a mask on top while I coloured the rest of the background in various shades of Distress Inks.

Using Versafine Fine Ink "Black Onyx", I stamped the bats over the moon area.  Then using Versafine Ink "Smokey Grey" I stamped the verse areas using the Lavinia "Sacred Spells" stamp.  I then added the trees using the Lavinia "Sacred Tree" stamped in Versafine "Black Onyx" ink.

I used the Lavinia "Willow The Witch" set for the cauldron and the witch image, stamped in Versafine "Black Onyx".

I will enter this into the October Lavinia Stamps Creative Challenge with a theme of Hocus Pocus.
