Lavinia Stamps "Bell Flower Vine" Birthday Card

I made a quick birthday card this morning, using water colour card as the base.  I spritzed it both sides so that it would lay flat, then used a wash (on the top two thirds) of three shades of Lavinia Stamps Elements Inks, using Blue Lagoon, Blue Atoll and Della Blue.

I ueds a heat gun to dry the surface then stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Bell Flower Vine" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I then stamped the birthday sentiment, which is part of the "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink

Finally, I coloured the vine using Derwent Inktense water colour pencils applied with a brush, adding a few dots of metallic silver glitter Signo Pen around the vine.

Lavinia Stamps new "Bell Flower Vine" Card

This morning I've had a chance to play with another new "Lavinia Stamp" the "Bell Flower Vine" stamp.

Using a blending brush, I graduated the blending of "Evergreen Bough" Distress Oxide ink.  I then used the same colour ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Laurel" stencil.

I then stamped the flower/vine design and the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Finally, I used a white gelly roll pen to go around the outline of the stencil design on the lower section of the card.
