Lavinia Stamps Witch and Cat Stamp and Spin card

A Sizzix Stamp & Spin session, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, with a couple of Lavinia witches (Anwen & Faba) and their cats (Mini Rune & Mini Jinx).

I've also used the Lavinia "Bramble" stamp on the corners and the Lavinia "Ambiance" stencil with Ranger Archival inks in the background.

I've added touches of Posca Pens, white gel pen and a gold shimmer pen along with a 2B pencil and a black fine liner pen.

***The more I look at this, the more I think it could be made into some kind of spinning game if the witches and cats were numbered... food for thought!

Lavinia Stamps Hummingbird Card

 

I was up early so headed to the craft room for a play, making this card.

I started by using the Lavinia Stamps arch stencil, which is part of their "Sticker Stencil 5" set, using two shades of Ranger Archival inks.  Chrome Yellow for the base then Orange Blossom through the Lavinia Stamps "Cryptic Stencil".

I masked the arch off then around the edge used "Orange Blossom" and "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil.  I shaded the edges of the card using "Twilight" Versafine Clair Ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the "Mystic Swirls" to oposite corners of the arch.  Within the arch, I stamped the Lavinia "Words of Spring" verse.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the small Lavinia Hummingbird.  I then stamped it again on a piece of white card, fussy cutting the second stamped image and sticking into position over the first stamped bird.

Finally, I added some spots of black Posca Pen and then added a touch of gold shimmer to the wings of the bird using "A wink of stella".

Lavinia Stamps "Sky" on an "Ambiance" background

More Lavinia Stamps play making this card.

I masked off the area around a circle and used the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil with two shades of Archival Inks:  Peony Pink and Violet.  Around the very edge of the circle, I used Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" ink to pull the eye to the central area.

I used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to stamp the fairy "Sky".  I used the same ink to create the landscape Sky sits on.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and "Monarch" purple ink to stamp the "Small Branches" to create the look of foliage growing.

I coloured the wings of Sky using Derwent Inktense Water Colour Pencils.  

I added dots of colour to the landscape using a white and pink gel pen and a yellow Posca Pen.  Adding touches of glitter and shimmer to the image using gel pens.

Day 11 of "24 Days of Tags 2022" with Karen Telfer

Here is my Day 11 tag for the "24 Days of Tags 2022" challenge, organised by Karen Telfer.  You can see Karen's video tutorial here.

I used six different shades of Distress Oxide inks:  Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistashio, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Forest Moss to create this tag. I don't quite remember in what order I used them, sorry for the vagueness.

I used three Lavinia Stamp stencils on this tag, using the "Dynamic" stencil to create the bleached pattern look on the background of the tag and the "Pebbles" and  "Ambiance" stencil to create the pattern on the holly.

I edged the tag and holly in two shades of Versafine Clair inks, first using Rain Forest, then on the very edge Twilight.  The "Nadolig Llawen" sentiment from the Lavinia Stamps "Welsh Words" stamp set was also stamped in "Twilight".

I used bakers twine, silver thread and two red jingle bells, to replicate berries to decorate the top of the holly.

Lavinia Stamps "Bron" with a fairy in her hand card

A quick card from me this morning using Lavinia Stamps again. Today features Bron with a fairy in her hand. 

I masked off the edges of the card, to ensure I didn't get ink on the edges.  I then used four Archival Inks (Chrome Yellow, Bright Tangelo, Leaf Green and Cornflower Blue) through the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink for all the stamping, starting with "Bron" the seated fairy.  I then used one of the tiny fairies from the "Fairy Foragers" stamp set, placing her on Bron's finger tips.

I then stamped the Lavinia verse, which is called "Forest So Green".  Finally stamping the birthday sentiment on the bottom right of the card, using a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words - Birthday".

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" I created the land Bron sits on, using  a pencil to ground below the bottom and her feet.

I used a pink Signo gel pen to colour the wings and hair.  I then used a Uni-bal Signo Silver glitter pen to add touches of sparkle around the fairies.

Lavinia Stamps "Dancing Till Dawn" Card

Today I've opted to make a card with white space.

I've used two shades of Ranger Archival Ink (Vivid Chartreuse and Sky Blue) through the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil fading the colour out towards the edges to create the background.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the Lavinia "Dancing Till Dawn" fairies. I created a landscape for them to stand on using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, using the same ink to stamp the "Heartfelt Verse" sentiment.

Lavinia Stamps "Seeing is believing" tag

I've had a few days off crafting recently as we have had family visiting.  Today I had a need to stamp, making this tag.

I used a background from my stash, which I'd created by mopping up surplus Distress Oxide inks from my craft mat.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the two Lavinia Stamps "Seeing is believing" fairy and the "Wild Poppies". I then used the Lavinia "Ambiance" stencil to add a subtle detail around the stamped area.

I used a mask to create the moon with archival inks around the edge and added a few touches of a white Van Goch Pastel Pencil to lighten one side.

I used a white gel pen to highlight areas and to add some white dots around the poppies. 

Lavinia Stamps "Eden" on an "Ambiance" stencilled background

I was stalking the Postman this morning, waiting for the delivery of my Lavinia Stamps order of the new stencils, released last Friday.  Fortunately, I didn't have too long to wait and made this card.

I used the Lavinia "Lime Punch" Elements ink through their new "Ambiance" stencil for the background.

I stamped the Lavinia "Eden" the fairy, Pipin and the "Heartfelt Verse" sentiment in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink to stamp the flowers using the "Foliage Set" and the "Mini Stars" around the fairy.  Finally, adding touches of colour using Posca and Gel pens.
