Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Make 12

Yesterday, I tidied my desk and put all the new release stamps away in their trays, but then I found myself pulling them out again to make this card.

For the base, I used a gel plate background I had in my stash. I used of the new Lavinia Stamps "Autumn Mist" stencils with two shades of Versafine Clair Inks:  Lilac Bloom and Monarch shades of ink. I then used the "Lilac Bloom" ink to stamp the Lavinia "Paint Splatters" around the stencilled area

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the "Witch Hazel" branches, the "Bats", the "Broomstick", the "Hallowmere signpost" and the "Poppy Dwelling" and "Poppy Lodges" stamps.

I painted the "Poppy Lodges" and "Poppy Dwellings" in "Dusty Concorde" Distress Oxide Ink.  I used the Versafine Clair "Monarch" ink to stamp the "Magic Dwells" verse in second generation stamping around the card.  Inking the edges of the card with "Villainous Potion" Distress Oxide Ink.  Finally, I added touches of a gold coloured glitter pen and a white gel pen to areas of the card.

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
