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

Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 11am and 3pm.  This is a sample I have made for the show.

To create the background I sprinkled Brusho Gamboge and Emerald Green onto card spritzed with water.  Once dry, I stamped the "Indra" butterfly,  part of the "Let Your Spirit Take Flight" sentiment and the tag edges in Versafine Clair "Fantasia" shade of ink.  

I coloured the butterfly with various products, including Signo Glitter Pens, Liquid Pearls and Distress Ink Pens.  Finally, I added some sequins to give a sparkle/shimmer.

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Sample for Hochanda TV on 23rd April 2019 (Set 1 - 3)

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

For this sample, I started by painting a rough landscape line , colouring the area below the line, in a very pale colour of green.  I blotted the area dry and popped a circle mask on the card to be used as a sun.  I taped a stencil into position over the card and the prepared landscape, using a low tack tape.  I marked each outer corner with a pencil, so I knew where to reposition it later.

Using Distress Inks and a sponge finger dabber.  I first used "Tumbled Glass" for sky and "Old Paper" for the land.  I then lifted and rotated the stencil and repositioned with tape.  Next I used "Broken China" on the sky and Twisted Citron" for the land area. After lifting the stencil away, I then lifted the mask I had made for the sun and coloured the circle using the "Scattered Straw" Distress Ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps fairy called "Josie".  Using the Distress Ink called "Peeled Paint", I created a landscape for the fairy to stand on.  

I used three Lavinia "Pound Stamps" to add some extra detail.  The "Mini Leaf 1", the "Mini Snail" and the "Mini Slender Mushrooms" also stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne".  Finally, I added touches of white to the mushrooms and snail using a Signo Pen and a hint of gold shimmer using a Sakura Jelly Roll Pen.

Week 17 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 17 is:  "Write It" - what I mean by this prompt is that you use your own writing on the tag somewhere.

For my tag, I started with a base of Distress Oxide Sprays in the following colours:  Fired Brick, Fosilized Amber and Faded Jeans.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink, I stamped the  light bulbs and moths from the Visible Image stamp set called "Glimmer of Light" I used a white and a silver glitter Signo pen to add highlights to them.

I wrote the sentiments and used sticky letters for the word "Light".

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Sample for Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 (Set 3 - 2)

Lavinia Stamps will be featured on Hochanda TV on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 at 11am and 3pm.  This is a sample I made for the show.

I started off with two cream coloured tags.  I decided I would cover one with the flower head from the Lavinia Stamp "Fairy Buds" stamp, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.

I then turned my attention to the second tag.  I positioned "Harrieta's House" stamp with enough space for the "Path" and stamped both in Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink.  I masked both these and stamped the "Fairy Buds" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.

I removed the masks and coloured the house in different shades of Signo Glitter Pen.  I then filled the background with Distress Inks in shades of green and blue.  Then stamped the "Mini Leaves", again in Versafine "Shady Lane".

I then prepared the background page by using Distress Inks in "Vintage Photo", Crushed Olive and "Peeled Paint".  Once the tags were glued into position, I stamped the sentiment called "Once Upon A Dream".

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

For this sample, I stamped the "Indra" butterfly in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink".  I then masked the background off and coloured circles, using three shades of Distress Inks:  Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Faded Jeans.

For the script in some of the circles, I used the Lavinia Stamp called "Sacred Spells".  In other circles, I have used the following pound stamps:  "Christopher the Caterpillar", "Mini Toadstool", "Mini Slender Mushrooms"and "Mini Single Flower".  I then stamped the sentiment called "Let Your Sprit Take Flight" . All of these were stamped in Versafine Clair "Fantasia".

I then returned to the butterfly and started to colour it in two shades of Promarker pens:  Magenta and Amethyst.  I used a Signo Pen to create the silver glitter look and a Sakura pen for some of the purple areas.  I also used Liquid Pearls in a shade of "Blackberry" for the raised dots.

Lavinia Stamps Design Team Samples for Hochanda TV on 23rd April 2019 (set 4 - 2)

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

I started by using a Brusho background I had prepared a few days ago.  The colours used for this background are Gamboge and Emerald Green.  The area where the sun is now didn't have any Brusho colour, so to fill the gap, I masked a large circle area and filled it with two shades of Distress Ink.  I then added some Memento Luxe "Wedding Dress) ink to dull down the coral red shade around the sun.

I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Fairy Chain", the "Dandelions" and the sentiment called "Believe In Magic" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne".  Finally, I added touches of subtle gold shimmer using a Sakura Jelly Roll Pen.
