52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
It's the first of the month, so there is a new challenge prompt. You have a chance of winning £40 of vouchers to spend on Lavinia goodies if you enter the random draw. The June 2019 challenge theme is: "A Sprinkle Of Fairy Dust". You can find the full details of the challenge here.
For this challenge Design Team sample, I decided to make a tag. I started with a base of Distress Oxide inks, initially brayered on to the tag and then spritzed and splattered with water droplets to get a more uneven appearance.
I started stamping the "Skeleton Tree" in the background in Versafine "Stormy Gray" shade of ink. I then stamped the "Glow Flowers" in Versafine Clair "Monarch" shade of ink. I then stamped the "Meadow Grass" in Versafine Clair "Fantasia" ink. In Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink I stamped the "Wild Flower", "Small Pixie" and Rory from the "Rory and Darcy" twin pack. I then stamped "Mini Stars" in Memento "London Fog" shade of ink.
I added dots of Liquid Pearls in the shade of "Mermaid" to the "Glow Flowers". I used a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen (in soft gold shimmer shade) to colour in the "Wild Flowers". I udes a silver glitter Signo Pen to add sparkle to the star fairy dust and also to to the tops of the "Glow Flowers.
Yesterday, Hubby and I went to visit family, so I didn't have an opportunity to play with the new stamps. Before I went to bed, I pulled out a background I had prepared a couple of weeks ago and an assortment of stamps. I knew I was too tired to start, but at least come the morning I knew what I would be playing with.
Roll on two hours later and I was wide awake. I couldn't stop thinking about the stamps and the background, so I gave up, got up and made the card.
I received several comments about the background of the previous card I made, so before I did too much stamping, I remembered to take a photo of an almost bare background. To create this background, I used Distress Oxides in the following shades: Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron. I then stamped the Lavinia script stamp called "Sacred Spells" in Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink.
I started by stamping the "Star Burst" in both full ink and shadow style. I then stamped the "Star Blossom".
Next, I moved to "Rory & Darcy" . I used the small pair not the individual larger ones and the "Spotty Toadstools". I then created the ground scape that the toadstools and the couple stand on using a Distress Ink in the shade of "Stormy Sky: the "Slender Mini Mushrooms" at the base of the card.
I masked of a circle for the moon and used Memento Luxe "Wedding Dress" ink to lighten the area. I then darkened the edge by using a Versafine Ink. I stamped the sentiment "Believe In Magic". I added a canopy of leaves to the top of the card using "Mini Leaf 1"
Finally, I got busy with Signo Pens in white and coloured glitter, I also used Sakura Jelly Roll Pens. I used "White Opal" liquid pearls for the dots on the toadstool.
