Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" - Make 10

 

I'm still playing with the new release of stamps by Lavinia Stamps called "Coven of Curiosities".  I've paired some of them with older stamps and stencils.

I started with one of the new "Autumn Mist" stencils, applying two colours of Versafine Clair ink through the stencil (Summertime orange and Chianti dark red).  I used Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink to stamp the Lavinia "Oak Leaves" and "Acorn Abode".  I then stamped the broomstick using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the little "Pixy Houses".

I used the Lavinia Stamps "Glory" stencil for the background pattern using "Avocado" green ink.  I then edges the card with "Shady Lane" Versafine Clair ink.  I created the landscape using the torn edge of copy paper and Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I painted the acorn and oak leaves using Distress oxide Inks, applied with a paint brush.  I added touches of a 2B pencil, a gold and white gel pen across the piece

Lavinia Stamps "Winter Scene" using Elements Inks and a "Whimsical Hare"

This afternoon, I played with my Lavinia Stamps and inks creating this card. 

I used four shades of Lavinia Elements Inks (Sundance, Russet Orange, Emperor Red and Merlot) to create the dramatic sky colour.  For the snow area, I used Van Goch Pastel Pencils in  pink, orange and black colours.

I stamped the "Birch Tree", the "Small Trees", the "Small Pixie Houses" and one of the "Whimsical Hares" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  

I added touches of yellow Posca Pen to the windows of the houses and a white gel pen to add snow to the branches of the trees and also to create the stars.

The "Just for you" sentiment is part of a Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words - Christmas".
