Lavinia Stamps "Tilly and Tango" Card

 

This was a quick monochrome card using Lavinia Stamps and a Funky Fossil stencil. Throughout all of this card, I have used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.

I used the Funky Fossil "In the Spotlight" stencil with Versafine Clair "Monarch" to create the background "spotlight" area'.  I then used the same ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Filigree" stencil over the top to get the over all pattern.

Using "Monarch" again, I stamped the Lavinia mouse pair called "Tilly and Tango".  I then stamped the Lavinia "Star Cluster" and finally the sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia "Heartfelt Verse" set of stamps.

I added a few dots of white gel pen to the stars and for the eye area, with a touch of pastel pencil to ground the mice.

Lavinia Stamps New Stamp Release Preview (January 2020) Aria, Luna Lights and Pink Orbs

Time to showcase another sample I have created using some of the new January 2020 stamp releases from Lavinia Stamps. 

I used a background created by using three shades of Dylusions Ink Sprays, which create lovely vibrant colours.

Once dry I started to stamp the images, first one was the "Pink Orbs" that the fairy sits on, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Glamorous" pink ink.

I then stamped "Aria" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I also stamped the word "Love" which is part of the "Live The Life" stamp set already in the Lavinia collection.

I returned to the Versafine Clair "Glamorous" pink ink stamping the "Luna Lights" suspended from the top left of the card.  While the ink was out, I also stamped a little heart, which is in the existing Lavinia collection and is called "Single Heart Mini".  I cut the heart out and adhered it into position in the hands of the fairy.

I used a selection of red, gold and black pens to colour in the "orbs".  I also used a Sakura Gelly Roll pen to add some subtle gold shimmer to areas of the card.

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.
