Lavinia Stamps "Pheasant" Birthday Card

Today I've made a birthday card, using Lavinia Stamps.  I usually struggle making male cards, but I'm pleasantly pleased how this card turned out.

I used a background I had in my stash, that I made some time ago, using the gel plate, Pan Pastels and the Lavinia "Pebbles" stencil.

I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair Inks using the following Lavinia Stamps:

• Pheasant
• Tree of courage
• Forest Spruce 
• Foliage Set
• Small Branch 
• Silhouette Grass

I used a Simon Says Stamp for the sentiments, part of their Tiny Words  - Birthday set.

Finally, I used Posca Pens and a white gel pen to add highlights and detail.

Lavinia Stamps "Basil" and the "Hobbit House"

Today, I have paired  a brand new Lavinia Stamp (Basil from the Basil and Bibi Set) with an older one called "Hobbit House". 

I used the following Lavinia Stamps for this card:

• Hobbit House
• Basil and Bibi
• Tree of Courage
• Tree of Hope
• Path
• Stones
• Silhouette Grass
• Orchard Grass
• Foliage Set

I have stamped in Versafine Clair inks, coloured the image with an assortment of products including:

Distress Oxide Inks

Derwent Inktense Pencils

3B Pencil

Posca Pen

Gell Pen

Gesso

Glitter Pen

Lavinia Stamps "Halloween 2021" Card

With the extra hour I gained this morning, I made this Halloween card. 

For the base, I used a brayer to apply four Lavinia Element inks (Lime Punch, Olive, Sahara and Russet Orange).

For all stamping, I have used Versafine Clair Inks with Lavinia Stamps.  These are the stamps I have used for this card:  Tree of Courage, Tree of Hope, Willow the Witch, Bats, Forest Spruce and one of the star pound stamps.

I have also used a black Posca Pen, a gold shimmer Gelly Roll pen and some colouring pencils.

Lavinia Stamps "Time To Reflect"

I've had another play with my Lavinia Stamps.  This one didn't turn out at all what I had in mind when I created the background.  

For the background, I have used four shades of Elements Inks:  Sundance, Sahara, Della Blue and Graphite.  I have also used "Dusty Concord" Distress Oxide Ink.  

All stamping was done using Versafine Clair inks:  Nocturne and Morning Mist.

I used the following Lavinia Stamps for this card: Tree of courage, Forest Hares, Woodland Hares, Silhouette grass and foliage.  The "Magic Surroundings" verse and finally the "Time to reflect" sentiment.

Lavinia Stamps "Bayleaf Cottage" Card

This morning I had a play with another recent release from Lavinia Stamps, which is the main feature of this card "Bayleaf Cottage". 

Along with "Bayleaf Cottage", I have also used the "Tree of Courage", Pipin and lots of other Lavinia Stamps, too many to name.

I have stamped in Versafine Clair Inks and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks, with highlights using a white gelly roll pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Let Your Spirit Take Flight"

It seems a long time since I have played with my Lavinia Stamps, so as it was raining this morning, I took the opportunity to have a crafting session.

I used a cicular gel plate background I had made some months ago as the base.  Using Versafine Clair "Verdant" green ink to stamp the foliage around the edge of the circle with the Lavinia Stamps "Twisted Vine" stamp set, with first and second generation stamping.

I used the "Tree Of Courage" stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" and then "Acorn".  I then stamped "Darcy" part of the "Rory & Darcy set" in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.  Next I stamped the owl, which is part of the Lavinia 'Brodwin & Maylin set" drawing a lead from the hand to the owl.

Finally, I added the "Let your spirit take flight" sentiment, stamped in "Shady Lane" Versafine Clair ink and added some flowers to the grass using Posca Pens.
