Dream

Hello lovelies.

I'm back with another card made using Lavinia Stamps products.

These are the products I used - 

Berry Stencil

Acetate Circle Mask

Pippin Stamps

Meadow Mushroom

Star Group Mini

Inspire Me

I'll list the other stuff I used as I explain how I made the card :)

So ...

.. this is what I did.

Firsty, I used the outside bit of the largest circle mask, placed in onto the card and using  a Vaessen Creative Blending Brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink I added the ink starting form the outside and working inwards and using less and less ink as I went.  

Once done, I swapped the outside bit of the mask for the inside bit (the complete circle) and covered up what I'd done. 

Once completed, I stamped the mushrooms, Pippin and the little stars within the circle I created at the beginning then added a bit of clear glitter around the stars

Then I placed the Berry stencil over the top and using Weathered Wood Distress Ink and a blending brush, I applied the ink through the stencil. I found that using something like a 

Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion made this easy. These are worth a look if you've never seen one - it's like an extra pair of hands and they really hold your work still.

Once completed, I stamped the mushrooms, Pippin and the little stars within the circle I created at the beginning. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne because it's nice and black. 

Then because I cannot help myself,  added a bit of clear glitter around the stars :)

I trimmed it down and mounted it onto black card then stuck it to my card base. Finally I stamped 'Dream' and stuck that down.

And my work was done!!

I made this for my friend for her birthday but she's had the card now so I'm safe to share lol.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs, Dawny xx

 

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
