Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" - Make 7

I am continuing my play with the new Lavinia Stamps release called "Coven of Curiosities" making this card.

I found a Gel Plate background in my folder, so decided to use it for the base of this card as I felt the colours worked well.

I used three colours of Versafine Clair inks:  Nocturne, Morning Mist and Twilight for the assorted stamping.  The Lavinia stamps I used are:  Cloche, Penelope, Bats, Mini Rune and Oak Tree.

I used Van Goch Pastel Pencils for shading areas, a black fine liner pen, a white gel pen and a 2B pencil too.

Lavinia Stamps Collage

I've had an afternoon tidying my craft room. It wasn't especially messy, just a few things were getting on my nerves and needed to be changed.  However, I got distracted making this collage.

When I visited the Lavinia Stamps Shop, aka "The Dreamatorium|, my purchased were packed in beautiful tissue paper with Lavinia designs on it - obviously too good to throw away, so I carefully folded it, knowing it would "come in handy for something".  I'm sure many of you do the exact same thing.

Anyway, I decided to cut out three of the images and make a collage, using off cuts of Lavinia Stamps patterned papers.

I stamped the leaves and the stars in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and "Rain Forest" a deep green ink.  Finally adding touches of a white gel pen to the leaves and a silver glitter pen to the stars.

Lavinia Stamps "The Coven of Curiosities" - Make 6

How can I be on my sixth make with the new Lavinia  Stamps release called "Coven of Curiosities"!  I have to say, I am really loving this collection!

I put some "Greensleeves" and "Olive" Elements Inks on my glass mat, gave it a spritz of water then placed the Lavinia Stamp "Ivy" stencil over the top.  I used a kitchen towel to mop up and press the stencil down on to the ink, then placed the stencil (wet side down) on to a plain tag.  This transferred the now coloured ivy pattern on to the tag.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Esme" the witch, a bird from the new "Ravens' stamp set, and text from "Spirit Signs" stamp set.  I used Versafine Clair "Pinecone" to stamp the "Tree of Wisdom" stamp.

I edged the tag with "Lime Punch: and then "Pine" Elements inks, colouring the tree trunk with Distress Oxide Inks.  Using touches of yellow Posca pen for flowers and a white gel pen for details to the witch.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of the Curiosities" - Make 5

Here's a tag I made using "Anwen" and the "Witch Hazel" branches which are part of the new Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release from Lavinia Stamps.

Using a white tag, I appliked "Pebble Beach" Ranger Archival Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil, fading out the colour towards the top and sides.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped one of the new witch stamps from Lavinia Stamps, this one is called "Anwen".  I also stamped the new "Witch Hazel" branches too.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to create the landscape using a hill mask,  I used one of the Lavinia Moon Masks with the "Pebble Beach" Archival ink I used through the stencil.

I decided more detail was needed, so using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I added the Lavinia "Bats" to the sky, the cat called "Mini Rune" and extra branches to the trees using the Lavininia "Hazel" branch.

I added a touch of colour tothe lantern using a Pastel Pencil.  I added shadows using a 2B pencil and touches of white gel pen to the witches outfit.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" New Release - Make 4

My fourth make with the new release goodies from Lavinia Stamps is a mix of older and new products.

I used a piece of patterned paper for the base of this card, using one of the new "Autumn Mist" stencils and the new "Paint Splatter" stamp with Versaine Clair Inks.

I used Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" black ink to stamp "Mini Pipin", the flowers from the "Foliage Set" and one of the birds from the new "Ravens" stamp set.

I used pastel pencils to accentuate some of the colours and white Pan Pastel through the Lavinia "White Orbs" stencil.  Finally adding touches of white gel pen, black fine liner and black Posca Pen.

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release - make 3

 

When I first saw the cute little witches in the Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" new release, which is available to purchase from today, I had in my mind how I would like to create a card. This is what I had in mind an ink pad card.

My ink pad of choice for this card was the "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Ink pad.  I inked the edge of the lid and then put it down on the card.  I then painted the inner area of the square with the same ink, drying with a heat gun.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Hallowmere" sign post and "Penelope" the little witch.

I used one of the Lavinia "Hill Masks" with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to create the landscape.  While the ink was out, I added the moon/spotlight circle behind the witch uisng a mask.  

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I added some stamped foliage using the "Mini Leaf 2" stamp around the base of the signpost. I then used the same ink to stamp the "Mini Leaf Creeper" on the top right hand corner.

I added touches of black fine liner pen for shadows, a white gel pen for detail on the the dress and leaves and Posca Pens for the flowers in the foreground.  Finally stamping the "Magic Dwells" verse below the image, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink,

Lavinia Stamps "Coven of Curiosities" card 2

I'm feeling inspired by the new collection called 'Coven of Curiosities" by Lavinia Stamps so made another card.

I used one of the older Lavina Stamps stencils called "Posy" with a "Violet" Archival Ink applied very lightly as I didn't want the pattern to dominate the card.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped "Prue" the witch and one of the "Witch Hazel" branches for a tree.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink with the Lavinia "Moon Mask" and "Hill Mask".  where I had created the land, I added some touches of green pastel pencil to give a hint of colour.

I used a white gel pen to add detail to the witch and a black fine liner pencil to add shadows and tree roots and dots of Posca Pen for flowers.
