Lavinia Stamps "Pheasant" Birthday Card

Today I've made a birthday card, using Lavinia Stamps.  I usually struggle making male cards, but I'm pleasantly pleased how this card turned out.

I used a background I had in my stash, that I made some time ago, using the gel plate, Pan Pastels and the Lavinia "Pebbles" stencil.

I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair Inks using the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Pheasant
• Tree of courage
• Forest Spruce 
• Foliage Set
• Small Branch 
• Silhouette Grass

I used a Simon Says Stamp for the sentiments, part of their Tiny Words  - Birthday set.

Finally, I used Posca Pens and a white gel pen to add highlights and detail.

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.

Day 21 - Karen Telfer's "24 Days Of Tags" Challenge - featuring Lavinia Stamps "Flower Fairy"

It's Day 21 of Karen Telfer's "24 Days of Tags" Challenge.  Today is a bright and cheery tag featuring Lavinia Stamps.

I spritzed a Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil with water, then lay the wet side down over the blended coloured background, blotting any surplus water.  I then lifted the stencil and blotted the tag.  I used my heat gun to fully dry the tag.

The background of this tag is made up of three Distress Oxide Inks:  Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry.

I then stamped the Lavinia "Flower Fairy" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Using a moon mask, I created the circle edge in "Abandoned Coral" Distress Oxide Ink.

From the top of the tag, I multi stamped the Lavinia "Forest Spruce" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then stamped the "Creeping Vine" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

At the base of the tag, I stamped "Spanish Moss" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then inked the edges of the tag.  

Finally, I added some flowers using "White Pearl" Liquid Pearls and set aside to dry,

Snowy Fairy Hive (Lavinia Stamps)

Today I've been playing with Distress Oxides on a black card, the colours still work the same but are not quite as vibrant.

I used the recently released Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Hive" stamp for the central image.  Lavinia "Fairy Barnacles" for the flowers at the base and the Lavinia "Creeping Vine" and "Forest Spruce" for the trailing foliage at the top (all stamped in Versafine Ink).

I then used Brusho to paint the barnacles as flowers.  A white Signo pen for the snow and a Gelly Roll pen for a the glitter look.
