Lavinia Stamps "Marcie" witch Halloween Tag

 

I've had an early morning play session using my Lavinia Stamps today, making this tag.

In my stash I found a tag with a background I had made a while back, using the Lavinia Stamps "Dynamic" stencil with ink on it to loosely print the stencil pattern on to the white tag.  So I decided to use this for the base of the tag.

There was quite a bit of bright white area, so I decided to use Distress Oxide Inks to colour the areas.  The shades of ink I used are: Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover and Prize Ribbon.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Marcie" the Lavina witch, I then used Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink to stamp the Lavinia "Witching Hour Verse" around the witch. Next I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the "Dill" bushes and to create the landscape.  I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink again to stamp the "Vine Branches on the top right hand side of the tag.  

Finally, using some touches of white gel pen and yellow and mauve coloured Posca Pens.

Lavinia Stamps "Pumpkin Lodge" Halloween Card

 

've been playing with my Lavinia Stamps again this afternoon, making this card featuring the wonderful Lavinia "Pumpkin Lodge".

I created the background using several different shades of Distress Oxide Inks, building up the colour by using the hot air gun to fully dry the surface before the next colour was applied.  The shades of ink I used are: Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn.

I stamped the Lavinia "Pumpkin Lodge" and the "Organic Root" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I then stamped the pumpkin again on to a piece of white card.  Colouring the pumpkin by painting it with Distress Oxide Inks, fussy cutting the shape and sticking over the pumpkin on the green background. I coloured the "Organic Root" image by using a brown fine liner pen and a metallic gold pen.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia text called "Forbidden Secrets" around the edge of the card.  I then used "Prize Ribbom" Distress Oxide Ink to sedge the card up to the root area.

Next I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the Lavinia "Vine Branch around the top of the card.

I then used Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" black ink to stamp the cat which is part of the Lavinia "Hocus Pocus" stamp set.  I used the same ink to stamp the "Dill" foliage around the base of the card.

Lavinia Stamps "Once upon a time..." tag

Another make using Lavinia Stamps and the new Versafine Clair ink colours.

For this tag, I started by applying the new "Avocado" Versafine Clair ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Berry" stencil.

I then stamped the "Leaf Spray" in two shades of Versafine Clair, using both "Avocado" and "Verdant" in first and second generation stamping.  Using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane' I stamped the "Vine Branch". Then used Versafine Clair "Rain Forest" to stampe the "Small Branch".

I stamped the robin from the "Bird Set" in Versafine Clair "Portobello" and used the same ink to add areas of text using the Lavina "Psychic Signs" stamp set.  I stamped the two hares in Versafine Clair "Pinecone", these were "Lupin" and the "Whisical Hares" stamp set.

I added shading using pastel pencils and colour using Posca and gel pens.  Finally adding a Lavina "Word Sticker" saying "Once upon a time...".
