Lavinia Stamps "Hare" Tag

I've been playing with my Lavinia Stamps again today, creating this gift tag.  I've used a gel plate background,using bubble wrap to create the pattern in the background.

I've stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink using the following three Lavinia Stamps:  Birch Tree, Fairy Hive Set and Wild Hare Set.

I've used a black Van Goch Pastel Pencil for the shading and Posca Pens to create the look of flowers.

Lavinia Stamps "Rory and Darcy" Card

I've used the Lavinia Stamps "Charming Stencil" with four shades of Distress Oxide Inks for the background colour (Antique Linen, Victorial Velvet, Tea Dye and Wild Honey).

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" and "Morning Mist" to stamp the details, using the following Lavinia Stamps:

Rory & Darcy Set

Elm

Birch

Fairy Hive Set

Mini Stars Pound Stamp

Heartfelt Verse Sentiment

 

Lavinia Stamps the Hare and the Fairy Hives

I had a play session, purely for the sake of wanting to play with some Lavinia Stamps, making this card.  It definitely has a flavour of some of my earlier Lavinia cards, but good to make all the same.

I used Distress Oxide Inks and the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil to create the background colour and pattern.

I used a selection of Lavinia Stamps, including the "Tree Of Wisdom", "Skeleton Tree Scene" for the small trees, the "Fairy Hives" hanging from the tree, one of the hares from the "Whimsical Hares" set, "Fern Heads" and "Spanish Moss" for the growth in the foreground. All stamped in shades of Versafine Clair inks.

I added spots of colour to the tree and the foreground using Liquid Pearls in "Ruby Red", "White Opal" and "Periwinkle".  I also added touches of gold shimmer to the Hare, the Ferns and the Fairy Hives using a gold Sakura pen.

 

Lavinia Stamps "Pipin" and the "Fairy Hives" Card

 

I'm still making the last few Christmas cards, here's the last one... I hope!

I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks to create the background colour (Tumbled Glass and Speckled Egg).

I've used Lavinia Stamps for the main image.  Starting by stamping "Pipin" the hare and the "Tree Branch" in Versafine Clair "Fallen Leaves" brown ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Rain Forest" green ink, I stamped the dangling "Fairy Hives". I used the same ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of a stamp set called "Tiny Words, Christmas" from Simon Says Stamp.

I used the Lavinia "Snowflakes" stamp set, stamped in Memento "London Grey" ink.

I then grounded Pipin by painting some shading below the hare using Distress Oxide Ink "Weathered Wood" grey ink.  I added some touches of silver sparkle to the area and also to the middle of the snowflakes, using a silver glitter Signo Pen.  I added some white highlights to give a snowy look to the tree branches using a white Posca Pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Ash" and "The Fairy Hives" Tag

Having taken a break from crafting for a few weeks, it feels so good to be back in the swing of things again.  Today, I've made quite a dark tag with a selection of Lavinia Stamps and Stencils.

I started with a Distress Oxide Spray Ink background.  I'd made it such a long time ago, that I don't recall what colours I used.  I placed the new Lavinia "Elegance" stencil over the top of the background and used "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide ink through the stencil.  I gave it a blast from the heat gun, to ensure it was dry before multi-stamping "Embrace your dreams" verse stamp from Lavinia along the left hand side, graduating to across the bottom of the tag.  I stamped the verse in second generation "Morning Mist" a Versafine Clair grey coloured ink.

Next I stamped "Ash" the fox.  I used two Versafine Clair colours for him, first "Tulip Red" then "Acorn" a warm brown ink.  I stamped the Lavinia "Tree Branch" in Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink and then stamped the "Fairy Hives" in Versafine Clair Acorn" ink.

I used a white Posca Pen to add some white detail to the fur and to the tree.  I used a metallic gold pen to add detail to the "Fairy Hives" and a copper coloured Liquid Pearls to the tree and to the Fairy Hive.

Finally, I inked the edges of the tag in "Crackling Camp Fire" Distress Oxide ink and then gave a thin border using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink before mounting the tag on to a piece of dark red cardstock.

Lavinia Stamps Finn and Zuri

I have continued my play with Lavinia Stamps creating this card featuring one of the most recently released stamps "Finn" the fairy  and "Zuri" the unicorn.

I used a gelli plate background I had made a while back.  All stamping was in shades of Versafine Clair ink (Monarch, Shady Lane, Morning Mist and Nocturne).

Other Lavinia Stamps used on this are:  Berry Leaves, Fairy Hive Set, Crow Set, Trees, Mini Meadow Mushroom, Tree Scene, Tree Branch and Climbing Ivy.

Lavinia Stamps - Underwater (Small Seahorse) Scene card

It seems ages since I have had a play with my Lavinia Stamps, so decided today was the day to put that right.

I had a small off-cut measuring 3"x3" of the background where I had used a wash of acrylic chalk paint to build up the colour, so decided to use that, rather than have it hanging about.

The colour shouted water scene to me, so I went with that theme.  I stamped the tall "Seaweed" in Versafine Clair "Verdant".

I then stamped the seahorse, which is part of a set called "Sea Creatures" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink I stamped the "Mystic Swirl", the "Twisted Vine Set" and the hanging "Fairy Hive Set".  

I used a white Posca Pen to add highlights to the air bubbles and a Sakura gelly roll pen to add a little sparkle to the seahorse and the fairy hives.
