Lavinia Stamps Hummingbird Card

 

I was up early so headed to the craft room for a play, making this card.

I started by using the Lavinia Stamps arch stencil, which is part of their "Sticker Stencil 5" set, using two shades of Ranger Archival inks.  Chrome Yellow for the base then Orange Blossom through the Lavinia Stamps "Cryptic Stencil".

I masked the arch off then around the edge used "Orange Blossom" and "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Ambiance" stencil.  I shaded the edges of the card using "Twilight" Versafine Clair Ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the "Mystic Swirls" to oposite corners of the arch.  Within the arch, I stamped the Lavinia "Words of Spring" verse.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the small Lavinia Hummingbird.  I then stamped it again on a piece of white card, fussy cutting the second stamped image and sticking into position over the first stamped bird.

Finally, I added some spots of black Posca Pen and then added a touch of gold shimmer to the wings of the bird using "A wink of stella".

Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Thistles" wax resist tag

Today I have been playing with my Lavinia Stamps. 

I used a Brusho "Wax Stick" to create the wax resist grid in the background and then swooshing the tag through various colours of Distress Oxide inks left on my glass mat after assorted projects.

I stamped the Lavinia "Fairy Thistles" and "Single Fairy Thistles" in Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" ink and coloured them with assorted Posca Pens and Signo glitter pens.  I stamped the "Words of spring" verse in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink.

Day 20 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge, using Lavinia Stamps "Cherry Blossom" and "Words of Spring"

This is my make for Day 20 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge.

I've used "Antique Linen" and "Bundled Sage" Distress Oxide inks for the background colour.

I used Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink to stamp the verse which is a Lavinia Stamp called "Words of Spring".

I then stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Cherry Blossom" stamp in Versafine "Vintage Sepia" brown ink.

I coloured the blossom with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks called "Spun Sugar" and "Victorian Velvet".
