Lavinia Stamps "Small Mideela Dragon" Card

Another play session with Lavinia Stamps, this time mixing a new stencil from the "Autumn Mist" collection with old stamps and stencils.

I used "Tea Dye" and "Buttercup" Archival Ink through the Lavinia "Honeycomb" stencil in a masked off cirlce area.

I stamped the Lavinia "Dragon Verse" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and the "Small Mideela Dragon" stamp in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I then positioned one of the new "Autumn Mist" stencils on it's side and used "Vermillion" red Archival Ink through the stencil.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the Lavinia "Star Cluster" round the dragon and used one of the Lavinia Mini Star stamps to add stars on the bottom left hand corner.

Lavinia Stamps "Mideela" Birthday Card

Like many paper crafters, I strunggle to make cards suitable for males, when you add to that the pressure of creating for a close family member and the need to get the card in the post, my stress levels get high. This was the situation I was in this morning, resulting in this clean looking card using Lavinia Stamps.

I used the Lavinia "Circle mask" blending four colours of elements inks (Sundance, Russet Orange, Paprika and Graphite) to create the central coloured image

I stamped the small Lavinia dragon called "Mideela" and the sentiment from the "Welsh Words" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I added small dots of a gold shimmer gel pen to areas of the card too.
