Lavinia Stamps Reindeer Reflections

Yesterday, Tracey Dutton of Lavinia Stamps gave an on-line tutorial on how to create a reflection using a brayer.  This is my attempt at this technique. 

I have used the following Lavinia Stamps:  Small Reindeer, Sea Flower, and the Floral Wreath.

I have used three shades of Versafine Clair ink for the stamping:  Verdant, Shady Lane and Acorn.

I've used four shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.

For the small dots (flowers) I've used assorted Posca Pens and Signo Pens.

Lavinia Stamps Red Pines and Reindeer Tag

A couple of days ago, I ordered the two new stamps from Lavinia Stamp, both of them are Red Pine Trees, in large and in small.  They arrived today, so I thought I'd better try them out.

I had an off cut of a cling wrap background, so decided that would be perfect for the base of my tag, although it can barely be seen with all the other ink I have added.

I started by masking off the moon area, using Distress Oxide Inks to create the sky and land areas.  I removed the mask and added some touches of yellow to the moon, then got down to stamping.  I stamped the new "Red Pine" Trees in two shades of Distress Oxide Ink and also some Versafine Clair inks.

I stamped the reindeer in Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink, and used three words from one of the sentiment stamps called "Spirit of Christmas".

I used a white and then a silver glitter Signo Pen for the ground detail.

Lavinia Stamps November 2019 Monthly Challenge - Winter Wonderland

Every month, Lavinia Stamps have a monthly challenge.  For November 2019 the challenge theme is "Winter Wonderland".  You can enter up to five times.  If your name is randomly drawn, you win £40 of vouchers to spend on lovely Lavinia goodies.

To make this card, I swooshed two shades of Distress Oxide Inks, "Tumbled Glass and Weathered Wood", I then added a touch of "Stormy Sky" to add some darker colours.  I masked a circle shape and filled with "Mustard Seed" Distress Oxide ink.

I used Versafine "Vintage Sepia" to stamp the "Seasonal Tree" image.  I used the torn edge of a piece of paper with "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Ink to create the landscape.

I painted colour to the tree using various shades of greens and brown Distress Oxide Inks.  I then stamped the sentiment "Seasons Change", stamped in Versafine "Vinatage Sepia" brown ink.  I stamped the "Birds" using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist".

I then stamped the "Small Reindeer" using Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink.  I added snowflakes and highlights to the card using a white Signo Pen.

Reindeer & Feather Tree Tag (Lavinia Stamps)

With Christmas fast approaching I decided to dip my toe into festive waters and make a tag. I am really not feeling Christmas yet!

The Christmas tree is actually a feather stamp. Both the feather and the reindeer are from Lavinia Stamps.

I stamped the tree in Versafine Clair Ink using a colour called "Shady Lane".  The reindeer is stamped in a Versarine Ink in the "Vintage Sepia" shade.

I painted the background using a brush and water colour pencils.  I added snowflakes and the reindeer nose using Liquid Pearls.

Finally the sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called "Festival of Trees"
