Lavinia Stamps Willow Card

 

I used a cream coloured card for the base of this card, stamping the Lavinia Stamps "Willow" stamp in two shades of green Versafine Clair inks.  I used "Avocado" and "Shady Lane" in first and second generation stamping.

I then used the Lavinia Stamps "Leaf Creeper" stamp with Versafine Clair "Lilac Bloom" ink.

I went around the edge of the card using "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide Ink and then stamped the sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Avocado" green ink.

Lavinia Stamps "Bria Rose" on a "Leaf Mask" background

This morning, I have been playing with one of the older Lavinia Stamps, called "Briar Rose" which I have paired with the "Leaf Mask/Stencil". 

I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Saltwater Taffy and Iced Spruce) through the Lavinia Stamps "Leaf Mask/Stencil".

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the fairy, called "Briar Rose", I then grounded her using the same ink with a stencil brush.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" in both first and second generation stamping, I stamped the "Willow" and the "Foliage".

Finally adding touches of a white gel pen and silver glitter pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Bogart the Frog" Card

This is an "I can't sleep make" from the early hours, playing with another recently released stamp by Lavinia Stamps, called "Bogart" who is a cute little frog surfacing on the water.

For the background colour, I started out using the Lavinia Elements Inks in Sahara, Lime Punch, Pine and Mermaid, applied with their stencil brushes.  I then splattered water droplets from a fan paint brush to get the mottled look.

I then stamped "Bogart the frog" using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

For the foliage in the foreground, I used three shades of Versafine Clair:  Green Oasis with the "Willow" stamp, Medieval Blue with the "Meadow Grass" stamp and Nocturne with the "Fern Heads" stamps.

I added extra colour to the background and to Bogart, using my Derwent Inktense pencils.  I also used Posca Pens and Gel Roll pens for extra colour too.
