Lavinia Stamps "Mooch" and the reflection

This evening, I have been playing with my Lavinia Stamps creating reflections.

For the background, I have used a gel plate print I'd made a while back using Distress Oxide Inks.

I have used three Lavinia Stamps "Mooch the cat", the "Floral Wreath" and the "Foliage Set".  All stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I have coloured using Distress Oxide Inks and also Derwent Inktense Pencils. 

 

Lavinia Stamps "Tilly and Mooch"

Tilly was just hanging around, trying to get Mooch's attention! 

I used a small Gel Plate/Brusho background I had in my stash as the base of this card.  Using Distress Oxide ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil.

I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks, using the following Lavinia Stamps:  Mooch, Tilly and Tango, Fairy Charms, Foliage Set, Woodland Ferns and Fern Branch.

I added extra shading and colour using Van Goch Pastel Pencils, Gelly Roll and Posca Pens.

Lavinia Stamps "Mooch" Card

Here's another card ticked off my February birthday card list.  I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

For this card, I've used Lavinia Stamps stamps and stencil, being inspired by the super talented Eileen Godwin.

I've used the Lavinia "Mooch" cat stamp, stamped in three shades of Versafine Clair Ink (Acorn, Tulip Red and Summertime), then added extra depth of colour using Derwent Inktense water colour pencils.

In the background, I have used the Lavinia Stamps "Charming stencil" with three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Tea Dye, Wild Honey and Festive Berries) applied with a blending brush.

I used the Lavinia "Fairy Bugs" stamp set for the insect and the "Heartfelt Verse" for the sentiment.

Finally, I added splatters of three shades of Posca Pens (Brown, Black and White)

DesignTeam make for the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog" #408 Halloween or Cats

There is a new challenge theme on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog".  Challenge #408 has a theme of "Halloween or Cats".  If you have a minute to spare, please do pop over and take a look at the fab makes by my Design Team colleagues.

For my card, I used a selection of Distress Oxide Inks and Lavinia Stamps to create this image.

I started by masking off a circle and filling it with a blend of Antique Linen and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide inks.  I then covered the circle with a mask and used a mix of the following shades of Distress Oxide Inks to create the sky colours:  Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Worn Lipstick and Chipped Sapphire.

For the landscape I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Oxide Inks.

I used two shades of Versafine Clair ink throughout this card:  Nocturne (Black and Morning Mist a grey shade).

I multiple stamped the "Lavinia Stamps Tree Branch".  I then added one of the crows from the "Lavinia Stamps Crow Set", the "Lavinia Stamps Bats" and then the "Lavinia Stamps Seasonal Tree".

I then moved on to the lower section of the card by stamping "Lavinia Stamps Mooch The Cat", "Lavinia Stamps Meadow Mushroom", the "Mini Slender Mushroom" and "Lavinia Stamps Meadow Grass".

Finally, I added some tufts of grass using a black fine liner pen and also high-lighted areas using a white Signo Pen.
