Lavinia Stamps "Believe" Card

Do you believe?

For this clean and simple card I have used two stencils by Lavinia Stamps "Waffle" and "Words 1" with Archival Inks. I used "Shadow Grey" and "Carnation Red" colours.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" to stamp the Lavinia "Star Cluster", stamping the fairy, which is part of the "Fairy Foragers" stamp set in Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" black ink. I added some sparkle to the wings and the stars using a Gelly Roll pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Mushrooms" with Pipin and a fairy

For this card, I've used the Lavina Stamp "Circle Mask" with blue and green inks that were on my blending brushes from a previous project to give a hint of colour to the background.

Around the edges of the circle, I have used "Morning Mist" Versafine Clair ink through the Lavinia "Dynamic" stencil.

I've used four Lavinia Stamps, all stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. The stamps I have used are Mushrooms (LAV 044), Fairy Wishes Large (LAV292), Fairy Foragers (LAV498) and Mini Pipin (LAV581).

To finish, I have added touches of highlights using a white gel pen. I've used a yellow Posca Pen for the lights in the windows and candle light and "A Wink of Stella" for a subtle shimmer to the fairy wings.

Lavinia Stamps Moon Pods on a Coral Stencil Background

I started this card yesterday morning, but the day ran away with me.  I was up stupidly early again as my mind wouldn't settle, so decided to finish this card off as it's another busy day ahead.

The other day, I made some backgrounds using Lavinia Stamps stencils.  I've used the new "Coral" stencil with a spritz of Dylusion Ink Spray (Vibrant  Turquoise, Crushed Grape and London Blue) through it, which gives a lovely light multi-coloured background.  The Lavinia stencils are generous in size and this is actually the other half of the one I used with "Luna" earlier in the week.

I used the Lavinia Stamps "Moon Pods" stamped in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink, opting to have them dangling (I usually have them growing upwards, but thought they work well either way.  I coloured the "Moon Pods" with Cosmic Shimmer water colours topping the dots with "Glossy Accents".

Using the same ink, I stamped the Lavinia "Hanging Lanterns".  Again just for a change I had them growing up rather than down.  I coloured them with a gel pen, adding highlights to both the Hanging Lanterns and the Mood Pods using a silver glitter Signo Pen.

I stamped the little fairy, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Foragers" set in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.    Finally, I inked the edges of the card using Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" ink.
