Elegance, Dreams and Fairy Wishes

]Hello lovelies and hope you are OK.

Here's a card I made using some Lavinia Stamps goodies and some Distress Inks ...

... and this is it.

So for this one, I used the Elegance stencil to make a background with Weathered Wood DI - very lightly applied - then I second generation stamped the Magic Surrounds Us words randomly before finally going around the edge of the card  with Tumbled Glass DI. 

Then I stamped the branch, fairy charms and fairy Rue over the stencilling. A stamping platform such as  the Vaessen Creative Stamp Easy really helps line everything up perfectly.

Usually I would mount this straight onto a white card blank but I went off piste here and lightly stencilled the card base with the Weathered Wood DI as well.

Once it was all in place, I added the sentiment. 

I added a bit of fairy dust (clear glitter to you and me lol)  to Rue's wings and also along the charms and I really like how this gave it a very subtle twinkle.

So there you have it. 

A quite simple card which didn't take very long but looks like you spend ages on it.

I'll list what I used here and it's all linked to where you can buy it from which I hope will help  -

Fairy Charms 

Tree Branch 

Magic Surrounds Us

Every Dream

Elegance Stencil 

Vaessen Creative Stamp Easy

Take care and stay safe and well,

Art From The Heart

Hello lovelies.

I'm sharing a card today which I made from an on line workshop I did with the super talented and very very lovely Eileen Godwin.

It was a while ago I have to say but one of the cards we did inspired me to use some other products from Lavinia Stamps. 

And ...

... this is what I made. 

Apologies for the photos here by the way - not the standard I'd have liked but the light isn't great here at the mo!!

Anyway, you'll get the gist I hope.

So I stencilled the background using a Clarity Stencil - Abstract Squares -  and I used Distress Inks with it before doing a bit of stamping.

 All the stamps I used are from Lavinia Stamps and they are - 

 Pippin, Tree Branch and  Fairy Charms.

The words (also Lavinia) are Magic Surrounds Us and Art From The Heart.

All were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

I have to confess that I made a mess of the second generation stamping of the words on the right - you probably noticed lol.  But I won't not share it because of that.

After I stamped Pippin, I grounded him using some Distress Inks.

Once it was finished, I mounted the panel onto a white card base - I like how it looks.

So that's my make for today - as always, I hope you like it.

See you soon and until then, take care and stay safe.

Hugs, Dawny xx
