Lavinia Stamps October 2019 New Release - Zanor

Lavinia Stamps have created some wonderful new stamps that will be available to purchase on their web site from 4th October.  The pegasus, in this card is one of the new release stamps and is called "Zanor".

I started this card using a background of Dylusion Spray Inks in three shades:  Pure Sunshine, Squeezed Orange and a very light spray of Melted Chocolate.

I started by stamping the female figure, Zemira and then Zanor the pegasus, both in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" shade of black ink.  I then masked of a round shape for the moon and covered the area with a very light coating of Distress Oxide Ink in a shade of "Milled Lavender" just to lighten the area.  I went around the edge of the moon with another shade of Distress Oxide Ink called "Black Soot".  I used the same ink to create the base that Zemira stands on.

I used the Lavinia Stamps "Spring Trees", "Skeleton Trees" and the "Skeleton Trees Scene" to create the tree lined background, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink.

Using the "Black Soot" Distress Oxide Ink, I created the landscape to tie it all in together using a torn edge of a piece of paper.

I stamped the "Ducks" and the "Meadow Grass" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Finally, I used an assortment of colours of Sakura Gelli Roll Pen to add some floral detail to the landscape.  I used a gold Sakura pen to add highlights across the card and a white Signo Pen to add highlights to the hair, mane and tail areas.

Lavinia Stamps New Release October 2019 - Zanor

This is my third make using the fabulous new stamps Lavinia Stamps (release date 4th October) Zanor the pegasus and Meadow Mushrooms.

I used a gelli plate background that I'd prepared a couple of months back, it was a blend of two Colorbox inks (which resulted in a soft blue and green, ideal for a landscape) brayered onto the gelli plate then had wet Brusho sprinkled on top, the print impression was then taken.

I started this card a little differently from the way I normally work.  I created the landscape first, using the torn edge of a piece of paper and "Black Soot" Distress Oxide Ink.

I then stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Tree Root", I had to extend the length of the tree trunk by masking areas,repositioning and stamping the image again.  I used Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink to stamp the image and painted it using Distress Oxide Inks in the shades of Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso.

Using Versafine Clair "Acorn" shade of brown ink, I stamped the new "Zanor" the pegasus, the "Tree Branch", the little fairy at the base of the tree from the "Fairy Foragers" set, the brand new "Meadow Mushrooms" and the "Mini Slender Mushrooms".  Using the same ink, I stamped the sentiment "Let your spirit take flight".

Finally, I added some small flowers to the foreground and some high light areas to the card using a white Signo pen.

Lavinia Stamps New Release October 2019 - Zanor Pegasus

This is my second make using the brand new October 2019 Lavinia Stamps release.  In this card I have used "Zanor" the pegasus and "Meadow Mushrooms" (both sizes).

This is quite a small card, the actual image is only a little over 3" x 4".  All stamping on this card has been made using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I used an off cut of a gelli plate print of soft blues and pink colours.  Created using Colorbox Ink brayered onto the gelli plate with wet Brusho sprinkled on the top (sorry I don't recall what shades I used as this is part of an old print).

I stamped "Zanor" the pegasus first, then created the landscaped background.  I coloured the lower section with Distress Oxide ink "Worn Lipstick" and "Picked Raspberry". Using the torn edge of a piece of copy paper and Distress Oxide Ink in the "Weathered Wood" Shade, I created the hill scape.

I masked off a circle shape around the head of "Zanor" and added a pink edge using Distress Oxide Ink "Worn Lipstick" to create the impression of a sky.

I then returned to stamping, the new "Meadow Mushrooms" and the "Mini Slender Mushrooms".  I stamped two words "Take Flight" from the Lavinia Stamps sentiment called "Let Your Spirit Take Flight".

Finally, I added some grass tufts below the mushrooms using a black fine line pen and white highlights to areas of the card using a Signo Pen.
