Lavinia Stamps "Mae" and the crystal ball

Last night, I watched the super talented Eileen Godwin do a live tutorial.  I was up early this morning, so decided to have a go myself.  I didn't take any notes, so this is made by memory.  I've used a couple of different stamps to Eileen too.

I used a brayer to put Versafine Clair "Sand Dune" ink on to a gel plate. Then I used the Lavinia "Maple Leaf" stamp to stamp leaves around the edge, using two shades of Ranger Archival Inks.  The colours I used were "Cornflower Blue" and "Rose Madder". I then took a print from the gel plate.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the Lavinia fairy called "Mae" and also the "Small Lily Flourish".

I used "Rose Madder" Ranger Archival Ink with a Lavinia "Moon Mask" edging the moon with the pink colour.  I then used the same coloured ink through the Lavinia "Laurel" stencil".

Next I stamped the Lavinia "Luna Lights" that hang on the top right of the card, in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.  I used the same ink to edge the card too.

I used the Lavinia "Bubbles" stamp set, using the smallest bubble for the crystal ball, stamped in Versafine Clair "Arctic" and then given touches of 2B pencil and white gel pen.

I coloured the flowers using "Malibu" coloured Derwent Inktense pencil.  I used a gold pen to colour in the "Luna Lights" and a gold shimmer pen to outline some of the leaves.  I added "A Wink of Stella" to the wings of the fairy and then finally added some dots of white Ranger Enamel Accents round the moon.

Lavinia Stamps "Mae" monochrome tag

I'm back after a week away at the caravan, but was so ready to do a bit of stamping, so while the first load of washing was in the machine, I made a monochrome tag. 

I stamped the Lavinia Stamps fairy "Mae" and one of their "Bubbles" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I masked off the moon area then covered the tag with a light brushing of "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then used the same ink through the Lavinia "Replenish" stencil.

I used Van Goch pastel pencils, a white Signo Pen and black Enamel Accents to add extra details.

Lavinia Stamps "Mae" card

This morning I have had a chance to play with a couple of the recently released Lavinia Stamps, making this vintage looking card. 

I started with a white piece of card, covering it in "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then used "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide Ink around the edges to darken them.  Through the Lavinia Stamps "Posy" stencil, I used "Aged Mahogany" Distress Oxide ink.  Removed the stencil and added a touch of the same colour around the edges to darken them further.

Using Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red ink, I stamped "Mae", the "Small Lily Flowers" and the "Leaf Spray". Using Van Goch Pastel Pencils to colour the image and a white Signo pen to outline areas.

The sentiment is part of a Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words - Birthday" which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Chianti" ink,
