Lavinia Stamps "Wisp LAV1102" Christmas Card

A Lavinia Stamps play session using some of the recent new release stamps.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the new Lavinia "Tumblecard LAV1096" stamp. I then stamped the new Lavinia Stamps "Wisp LAV1102" stamped in Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" a beige coloured ink and the jacket in "Deep Sea Doodle" Element Inks.  I then stampd the Lavinia "Fir Tree LAV022" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" a mid green coloured ink.

I coloured the scene using a selection of Derwent Inktense Pencils, Van Goch Pastel Pencils, Posca Pens, a gold and white gel pen and a black fine liner pen.

Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" series - Day 12

Well, here is my Day 12 tag of Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" series.  I am already feeling bereft, knowing there won't be a tag to make tomorrow.  I have loved making every one of them.  If you would like to take a look at Karen's tutorial for this tag, click on this link.

Here's a photo of all my 2025 tags together.

For my Day 12 tag, I used four shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion to create the background colours.

I then used Versafine Clair "Lilac Bloom" to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Christmas Words" stamp.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Fantasia" purple ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Small Fairy Fir Tree" and "Fir Tree" in first and second generation stamping.  I used the same ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Christmas Greetings" sentiment at the bottom of the card.

Finally, I used a fan shaped paint brush with Dr. Ph. Martin's white bleed proof paint, to splatter across the surface to replicate snow falling.
