I made this card using one of the stamps from the new clear stamp set called "Joy", which I have stamped in Versafine Clair Ink (Twilight) over the Funky Fossil "Christmas Star" stencil shaded using a blending tool and a Distress Oxide Ink in the shade of "Scattered Straw".

Lavinia Stamps New Release - October 2019 - Monochrome Meadow Mushroom Scene

There has been much excitement for the past few days as I received some fabulous brand new stamps from Lavinia Stamps to play with.  Within a few minutes to receiving them, I started to make this card.  The detail on these mushrooms is amazing and they stamp beautifully too.

For all the stamping on this card, I have used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I started this card by stamping both sizes of the Meadow Mushroom.  I then stamped the mouse which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Woodland Mice" set.  I then stamped the fairy, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Foragers" set. I then stamped the butterfly, which is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Butterflies" set.

Finally, using the edge of a torn sheet of copy paper, I created the hill side that the image sits on using a "Black Soot" Distress Oxide ink.

Lavinia Stamps August 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks (Bat Colony)

On the 22nd August Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV, some of the stamps available on the show will be brand new releases.  All ten new release designs will be available to purchase from the Lavinia Stamps web site on that day too.

For this card, all stamping was in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, with the exception of the background Skeleton Trees which were stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" shade of ink.

I have used a background of Brusho paints in shades of greens and blues.  I stamped the "Willow the Witch' and the cauldron, the the "Colony of Bats".

I then stamped the "Skeleton Trees" in the background using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink.

I created the background landscape by using a torn sheet of card and Distress Oxide Ink.

I added the "Mini Slender Mushrooms" and the leaves on the top right using the "Mini Leaf 5".

I added highlighted areas using a white Posca Pen and a gold shimmer Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

New Lavinia Stamps March 2019 Releases #lavinia stamps

As you may have already gathered, I am very fortunate to be on the Lavinia Stamps Design Team.  Tracey Dutton, who founded Lavinia Stamps also designs them too.  She has excelled with these stamps which will be released this week.

I can't wait to play with them.  These are some of the samples made by Tracey to promote the new loveliness.
