Well I didn't tidy my desk away and after dinner, decided to use the Sweet Polly "Blissful" stencil again, this time heat embossing using Wow! Jealous Guy embossing powder.
I used the same embossing powder for the Waffle Flower "Happy Birthday" stamp from thier "Essential Sentiments" stamp set.
As the Sweet Poppy "Blissful" stencil was still out on my desk from the earlier project, I decided to use it again, this time making a CAS card - a total contrast from the previous one!
I used two shades of Archival Ink: "Prickly Pear" for the lighter shade and "Leaf Green" for the darker. I then used the remaining ink on the blending brush to give background colour on the leaf corner.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink for the "thinking of you" sentiment, which is part of the Waffle Flower "Essential Sentiments" stamp set.
Finally, I used "White Opal" Liquid Pearls to add extra detail to the foliage.
Up early this morning as I couldn't sleep, so had a play with Sweet Poppy Stencils making this card.
I found a gel plate background in my stash that I had made months ago, using Pan Pastels. I thought it had quite a rustic look to it, so I paired it with the Sweet Poppy Stencil called "Blissful" using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze' Ink to give it a more folk art look.
Around the edge of the card, I used another Sweet Poppy Stencil called "Grid Plate" with the same ink.
I added splatters of white and black Posca Pens and then highlighted areas using a gold gel pen.
I've had a few days away in the caravan, so while the third load of washing is in the machine, doing its thing, I thought I would have a play with my Lavinia Stamps.
I found a small off cut of a Brusho background from a previous project. I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Gaggle of Geese" and the "Just for you" sentiment (part of the Heartfelt Verse stamp set) in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
I used "Warm Breeze" Versafine Clair ink around a moon mask and also around the edge of the inner area. Using a black pastel pencil, I created a reflection of the bank the geese stand on.
For the border, I used "Spiced Marmalade" Distress Oxide Inks through the Lavinia Stamps "Abstract" stencil/mask, then added splatters of the same ink.
Today, in total contrast to the black and white card I made yesterday, I have used a background from my stash with a whole rainbow of colours courtesy of Brushos.
I used the Lavinia Stamps "Tree of dreams" stamp as the main focal point, stamped in Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" black ink. While the ink was out, I stamped the sentiment "Once upon a dream" in the same ink.
I added a landscape and then foliage using "Purple Delight" and "Monarch" Versafine Clair Inks. I used the following Lavinia Stamps fro the foliage area:
I decided to create a monochrome scene using Versafine Clair "Noturne" black ink and "Morning Mist" grey ink. I also used pencils and a white gel pen.
I used the following Lavinia Stamps to create this scene:
