52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
My friend is celebrating her birthday this week, as she is also a paper crafter, I thought it only right that her card be made of Lavinia Stamp products.
I used Distress Oxide Inks to create the land and skyscape using: Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Salty Ocean for the sky. I used Antique Linen, Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint for the ground area.
I started by stamping the "Trees" to separate the sky from the land, stamping in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" shade of ink.
I then stamped the fir trees, using "Small Fairy Fir Tree" and "Small Fairy Fir Tree 2", stamped in two inks (Distress Oxide "Peeled Paint" and Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink).
I then stamped the "Dancing Till Dawn" figures, the "Fern Heads" and the Papertrey Ink sentiment from thier "Stylish Sentiments" set using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
I added little daisies to the grass by dotting white and orange shades of Posca Pen. I added a silver shimmer to various areas of the card by using a Signo Pen.
Our little Grand Son Jacob, is celebrating his 3rd Birthday. Jakie is our little star. He was born with Downs Syndrome and had a very difficult first year, mostly spent in hospital. He is a little behind other children of the same age but he is the most loving little fella you could wish to meet.
In making this card I wanted to make him laugh, so I positioned the farm animal on top of each other. The animal stamps are part of a set by Stampers Anonymous and is called "On The Farm CMS303". I stamped the animals in different shades of Versafine ink and coloured with Promarkers.
Using a wash of Distress Oxide paints, I created the background colour. When dry, I stamped the line of trees using a Lavinia Stamp called "Trees" stamped in Versafine "Smokey Grey" ink.
The grass tufts and orange flowers are stamps from a Papertrey Ink stamp set called "Love Lives Here", stamped in Versafine Clair ink.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment at the top of the card. The "3rd" was part of a free set of stamps from a magazine. The "Happy Birthday" stamps I have had for years and don't recall who made them.
I used Distress Oxides for the background of this ATC. I've used Lavinia Stamps for the script background, the trees and the small dragon. The "Sky's The Limit" sentiment is from a Penny Black set called "Nature's Wishes"
