Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 (Set 1 - 4)

Lavinia Stamps will appear on Hochand TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 11am and 3pm.  This is a Design Team sample I have made for the show.

This is a very different type of sample to the ones I have previously created as this is a canvas measuring 10"x12".

The papers I have used are all recycled with the exception of the tag that I have stamped on.  I have tea stained the majority of the papers for various lengths of time which has created different tones of the same colour.

To start with, I rescued some of that brown packing paper that comes in the Amazon boxes.  I scrunched the paper up tight and then flattened it a little and ran an ink pad over the surface. I then ironed the paper so that it was flat enough to stamp on. (I used an old tea towel either side of the paper).

Once flat, I stamped the script which is a Lavinia Stamp called "Sacred Spells".  I scrunched up the paper again, flattened slightly it and dragged a Versafine ink called "Vintage Sepio" across the rippled surface. I then put PVA glue onto the canvas and the sides and adhered the paper to the canvas and left to dry.  

Now the paper is dry I dragged a Colorbox Cats Eye ink pad across the textured surface to add some colour to the background.

I used the largest tea stained paper first stamping the  "Single Skeleton Tree" in a Versafine "Vintage Sepia" ink.  I dragged a pink/red ink pad down the piece from top to bottom to create a streaked look.  Using the same colour I inked the edges of the paper doilies/coaster.

On an old page torn from a spiral bound pad and tea stained, I stamped the words using the Lavinia "Zen Angelic Words" stamp.

To make the tag, I used a background of Distress Oxide Inks.  I masked off the moon and created a darker rim and coated the inner area with a Memento Luxe "Wedding Dress" ink.  I stamped "Josie" the fairy in a Versafine Clair "Chianti" shade of ink.  I then used Distress Inks in shades of brown to create the ground-scape she stands on.

Finally, I assembled and glued all the different elements.  Using some metallic sequins, metal leaves and the flowers sprayed with Distress Oxide Spray to create the finished canvas

Week 12 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 12 is "Kraft".

For some reason my kraft cardstock was in hiding, so I used a piece of brown paper to cover a tag instead.  For a previous project I had tea stained some book pages, so I decided to tear one up and apply over the kraft base.  

Using a small script stamp from a Stampin' Up set called "By The Tide" I stamped the writing in various positions using Versafine "Vintage Sepia" Ink.  From the same set, there was a stamp with some coral, so I stamped that in Versafine Clair "Chianti" ink.

I stamped the Woodware "Teasels - JGS329" on to the tag, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" shade of ink.  I then inked the edges of the tag in a red and a black ink.  Finally, I added a little bit of co-ordinating trim, some metallic sequins and a tea-stained piece of string to hang the tag.
