Lavinia Stamps "Celeste" Fairy Card

Another card i've made this morning, again using Lavinia Stamps, this time using "Celeste" as the main focal point.  I have stamped her in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" and then coated in Wow! clear embossing powder and heat set.

I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Tall Leaf Mask" with three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet).

I then stamped the "See a fairy, make a wish" verse on the left hand side, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" in second generation stamping.

Next, I stamped the stars around "Celeste" using the Lavinia "Star Cluster" stamp with Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the Lavinia sentiment which is part of the "Heartfelt Verse" set.  Finally, I added some silver and gold sparkle using Gelly Roll Pens.

Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Toadstool" - A Magical Wish Card

I have had a thought about making some cards and asking Willow, our 7 year old Grandaughter to write a story about what she can see in the card.  I don't know if this is something she would like to do, but I thought it would give her creative licence to write a little story.

For this card, I have used a Brusho background.  I've used Lavinia Stamps throughout and have stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks.  I've added extra touches of colour using a Sakura gold shimmer pen, Posca Pens and a black fine liner. 

I have detailed the Lavinia Stamps I have used below:  

Fairy Toadstool

See a fairy make a wish sentiment

Mystic Swirl

Fairy Hive Set

Field Grass

Twisted Vine Set

Fairy Foragers

Three Woodland Mice

Lavinia Stamps November 2019 Hochanda TV Preview Set 2/2

Lavinia Stamps will be appearing on Hochanda TV with some fabulous stamps and accessories on Friday 22nd November at 10am and 3pm.

I am very fortunate to be part of the Lavinia Stamps Design Team, which means I get to play with the new products and create samples for their shows.

For this card, I used a background of spinkled Brusho paint granules oncto damp card (Purple, Violet and Midnight Blue).  I then sprinkled Cosmic Shimmer "Silver Dream" on top of the Brusho which has created a beautiful shimmery background.

I stamped the "Enchanted Dreams" and the first two lines of the "See A Fairy" verse in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Using the torn edge of a piece of copy paper, I dragged ink in a downwards direction with a blender to create the landscape.

I used the top of the "Single Fairy Thistle", stmaped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" greyn ink to create tiny foliage growing along the landscape.

Lavinia Stamps November 2019 Hochanda TV Preview - Set 2/1

Lavinia Stamps will be on Hochanda TV with some fabulous stamps and accessories.  The shows will be on Friday 22nd November at 10am and 3pm, hope you'll be able to watch it, or at least pop it on record for later.

I created the swirl background using Distress Oxide Inks and a paint brush, suing:  Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Blueprint Sketch.

I stamped the "See A Fairy" verse in Versafine Clair "Smokey Gray" ink.  

I stamped the "Enchanted Dreams" (fairy on snail) using Versafine Clair "Nocturn" black ink.  I then created the landscape using a torn edge of copy paper, dragging the ink down to create the impression of land behind the snail.

I then stamped the "Single Fairy Thistle" multiple times using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink.  I also stamped the same image, in Versafine Clair "Twilight" (just the head) onto rice paper.

On the reverse of the rice paper, I dragged the "Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink.  I then cut the seed heads out and adhered over the top of the original ones on the card.  This gave a more dominant colour to them.  I added white highlights to the thistles.

I coloured the edge of the card using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire.  Finally, I added some dots of Liquid Pearls, in a "Blackberry" shade to the top of the thistles.

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for August 2019 Hochanda TV Samples - Tree of Faith

On the 22nd August 2019, Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV.  This is one of the Design Team samples I have made for the show.

The background of this card is made up of using the following colours of Distress Oxide Inks:  Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch.

I decided where I wanted the tree to be, but before stamping it created the moon shape by masking a circle and making the edge darker using a Versafine Clair "Paradise" shade of ink.  I then added an orange shade to the middle using a Distress Oxide Ink in the shade of Spiced Marmalade.

I stamped the "Tree Of Faith" using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" shade of ink.  I then stamped the "See A Fairy, Make A Wish" verse using Versafine "Stormy Grey" shade of ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" shade of ink again, I stamped Rory from the "Rory & Darcy" stamp set and a fairy from the "Fairy Foragers" set.

Using a torn edge of card and a Distress Oxide Ink in the shade of "Chipped Sapphire" I created the landscape that Rory is standing on.

I stamped the sentiment "Once Upon A Dream" in two sections using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue"

I used a blue glitter Signo Pen to add interest to the droplets on the "Tree of Faith".  I also added a few to the ground as if they are windfalls.

Using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen, I added highlighted areas to the tree, Rory and to the fairy.

Finally, I added some dots of white Posca Pen to imitate daisies on the ground, using an orange Posca Pen for the middle of the flowers.
