Lavinia Stamps "Large Heart" Anniversary Card

I made this card for our Son and Daughter-in-law who celebrate their first anniversary. Sadly the silver sparkle doesn't show up on the photo.

I used the Lavinia Stamps circle mask from their "Sticker Stencils 5" set to create the circle, using Versafine Clair "Baby Pink" and "Lilac Bloom" to colour through the Lavinia Stamps "Dynamic"Stencil and to create a light layer of Lavinia "Paint Splatters" round teh edge of the "off the page" circle.

Within the circle, I used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to stamp the "Large Heart " by Lavinia and aslo the "Paint Splatters".  Before putting the ink away, I added a number 1, which is part of the Lavinia "Numbers" stamp set.  I used Versafine Clair " Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the lighly stamped verse, using the Lavinia "Sacred Spells" stamp.

Finally, I added touches of silver glitter pen to areas of the card and used a coloured pastel pencil to accentuate the circle.  The last touch was adding the word "Love" which is part of the Lavinia stamp set called ""Live the life".

Lavinia Stamps "Fip" and the raven

I've used the leaf from the Lavinia Stamps "Nature & Nurture" sticker stencil for the background of this card with assorted colours of Ranger Archival Inks.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Lavinia  "Fip" figure, the "Raven" and the "Paint Splatters".

I used a gold gel pen to outline some of the dots on the Lavinia Stamps "White Orbs" stencil, colouring some in gold and some in a rusty glittery orange colour.  I used a "Wink of Stella" on the wings of "Fip" and touches of white gel pen too.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Prue on a starry background

I'm still feeling poorly and couldn't get back to sleep, so decided to get up and craft, making this card in the style of card my good friend Eileen Godwin creates. 

I started with the stars from the Lavinia Stamps "Words 2" stencil, using four shades of Ranger Archival inks:  Sky Blue, Chrome Yellow, Tea Rose and Vivid Chartreuse through the stencil.

Then, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Prue" the witch.  I grounded her using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" and a hill mask.

Next, I stamped the "Magic Dwells" verse stamp in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I used the same ink to edge a moon mask round the top half of the witch.

I returned to Versafine clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the birds, which are both part of the new "Ravens" stamp set.  I also stamped the paint splatters behind/under the birds using the same ink.

Finally, I added touches of white gel pen to the witch and birds and some coloured dots of Posca Pen to replicate flowers.

Lavinia Stamps "Poppy Dwellings" Card

I've been feeling a bit meh today with headache, earache and a little snuffily so have stayed in and wallowed watching tv.  I did decide to wander up to my craft room and made this card though.

I used the aperture section of the Lavinia Stamps "Moon Mask" to create the central coloured circle, using the orange ink that was left on my blending brush from a previous project.

I then used the new Lavinia "Paint Splatters" stamp with "Tea Rose" Archival ink to extend the colour of the circle outwards.

Next I used Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink to stamp the Lavinia "Poppy Dwellings" stamps.  I finger stamped the tiny areas of text using the same ink with the Lavinia "Moon Signs" verse.

Finally, adding touches of gold gel pen and splatters of black Posca Pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Make 8

Yet another make, using one of the new "Coven of Curiosities" release by Lavinia Stamps.

I rummaged through my folder of prepared backgrounds and came across an orange. red and blue Brusho piece that I thought would lend itself to what I had in mind.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Book of Spells" and the sentiment that came with the book stamp.  I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Paint Splatters" stamp with Versafine Clair "Arctic" blue ink to uniform the blue Brusho area and to provide a more textured area.

Next, over the yelloe/red Brusho area, I used Versafine Clair "Summertime", orange ink to stamp the Lavinia "Magic Dwells" verse stamp.

Returning to Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the birds, which are part of the new Lavinia stamp set called "Ravens".  I also used a mini star stamp to add more stars around the ravens.

I edged the card with Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.  I used a gold coloured gel pen in the middle of the stars and on the book pages. I then used a white gel pen to add more detail to the birds.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release stamps

I was very fortunate to receive my set of the brand new Lavinia release called "Coven of Curiosities" stamps and stencil set, so couldn't wait to get playing with them making this card.

I have used one of the new Lavinia "Autumn Mist" collection stencils with two shades of Versafine Clair (Arctic and Warm Breeze) inks.  Adding extra depth using "Verdant" green ink. I used Versafine Clair ""Avocado" through the Lavinia "Flurry" stencil. fading out towards the edge.

Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the new Lavinia stamp called "Witch Hazel".

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Specter" the raven and two of the ravens from the "ravens" stamp set.

I used the new "Paint Splatter stamp" with Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink, stamped in first and second generation stamping. Using Versafine Clair "Arctic" light blue ink, I multi stamped the verse around the edge of the card.

I then stamped the sentiment, which is part of an old Lavinia stamp set called "Let your spirit take flight" samped in Versafine Clair  'Nocturne" black ink.

I inked the edges of the card, first with Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" and then the very outer edge with Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink

I added extra depth of colour to areas using Van Goch pastel pencils.  I added blue dots of Posca Pen to the branches and white gel pen to the birds and the paint drips.  Finally adding some black dots of Posca pen then added dots of "Prickly Pear" Liquid Pearls.
