Lavinia Stamps "Winter Whispers release" Christmas Joy Tree Card

This is my tenth make using the new Lavinia Stamps "Winter Whispers" release of stamps.  I can't believe I've made so many since Friday tea time!

I started off with a 6x6" white piece of card and masked off the edges. I lay the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf Stencil" over the top and applied "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink through the stencil using a blending brush.  I deliberately made the central area lighter as I didn't want the pattern to detract from the lovely design of the tree. I then removed the masking.

Using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink, I stamped the new "Christmas Joy" tree and one of sentiments from the "Christmas Greetings" stamp set.

I used a pastel pencil to ground the tree.  I then used a selection of colours of gel pens to colour the baubles on the tree.

I'm still playing with the new release from Lavinia Stamps, making this quick card.

For the background, I used Vibrant Fuchsia, blending it from the right hand side across to the left.  I then lay the Lavinia Stamps "Waffle" stencil over the top and applied the same ink through the stencil.

Using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink, I stamped the new "Christmas Joy" tree and the "Seasons Greetings" which is part of the new Lavinia Stamps "Christmas Greetings" stamp set.

I coloured the tree using a selection of gel pens.  I then added a light dusting of white acrylic paint splatters before mounting the card on to a piece of green paper and then on to a white card blank.
