Iridescent


Hi everyone … wow, it’s November already - where is the year going to??  Christmas is now looming pretty fast and the Chrimbo cardmaking rush is definitely on! As luck would have it, Tracy Evans has launched a Christmas challenge on the Tracy Evans FB group with a wonderful prize of £50 to spend in her shop … a fantastic incentive (as if one were needed) to play with her Christmas stamps. 

Based on my previous posts you may be asking the question how many different ways can Tracy’s bauble stamps and stencils be coloured?? I can’t really answer that, but I can say that I haven’t done experimenting just yet!  I know it’s usual to create using as many different products as possible, but I hope I’m showing here it’s possible to achieve a number of different looks with the same stamps. So here’s one I made a couple of days ago but hadn’t published yet due to Hallowe’en.


This time I stamped my baubles with Distress Oxide ink which I spritzed to create a more marbled effect - I chose the colours to suggest an iridescent effect. I cut a 5” square of stamping card and stamped the baubles using three colours of Distress Oxide ink dabbed onto the stamp and then spritzed with water. I then coloured round one side of each bauble with more Distress Oxide, gradually building up the colour and then dragging out with a water brush. I filled some of the white space by dabbing more spritzed DOX with a piece of acetate, then added more depth to each bauble by adding shadow with a grey Inktense pencil.  

I stamped several mistletoe branches in two tone green VFC then added some background wording stamping in 2nd generation Bali Blue, and heat embossed the word “Joy” onto the largest bauble in white. I stamped the sentiment onto separate card and cut out, then placed to help me identify where to stamp the birds. I then added bauble strings and highlights using Sakura Stardust pen, white Posca highlights and spatters, then matted the finished panel onto aqua glitter card and my card blank. To finish I attached the sentiment and added a teeny coordinating heart gem.

Stamps: Tracy Evans Boutique Designs TE18 Decorations, TE19 Mistletoe, TE22 Christmas Wishes, TE23 Winter Delights, TE30 Garden Elements;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Grass Green, Green Oasis, Bali Blue); Sakura Stardust pen (turquoise); Inktense pencil (Neutral Grey); Posca pen (white).

The Witching Hour


Hi everyone, I’m very late to the Lavinia Hallowe’en party as I think I have said previously that I don’t really “do” Hallowe’en, but I decided somewhat belatedly to buy a small selection of the 2024 Hallowe’en stamps so that I could decorate the October page of my Lavinia 2025 calendar. I’ve not had a Lavinia calendar before and I have to confess that it has sat in the cupboard since about July, so I recently woke up to the fact that I need to get a wriggle on to complete it before the end of 2024! My new Lavinia stamps and ink pads arrived on Tuesday so I set straight to work, mixing my new items with existing ones to create the October page. My concept was to incorporate both Hallowe’en and autumnal elements - here’s the result.

.

I wasn’t brave enough to create straight onto the calendar page, so I measured up and cut a piece of stamping card 19.5 x 14.5cm. I started by creating a background with blended Elements inks, working outwards from light to dark. I then created some landscaping using hill masks and blended Elements, then started stamping. I started with Hattie the witch in the middle of the page, then added the castle, trees and cauldron all in Nocturne VFC. I stamped the moon using Morning Mist, then added the owl, bats, mini mushrooms and cat in Nocturne, and the magical mist and wording using lilac VFC. I coloured the castle windows, mist and Hattie’s dress with Sakura stardust pens, added white Posca accents and highlighted the scene with a clear Stardust pen to suggest moonlight. I then stamped a few autumnal leaves in various  shades of Elements inks, added some shadows with grey Inktense pencil, and blended darker Elements ink around the edges of the panel. 


This panel is very sparkly … here’s an angled picture.


Stamps: Lavinia Hattie, Willow the Witch (cauldron), Magical Mist, Far World Castle, Seasonal Tree, Skeleton Tree Scene, Brodwin & Maylin, Bats, Moon, Small Lanterns, Mini Jinx, Slender Mushrooms Mini, Leaf 1 Mini, Mini Maple, Witching Hour;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Sundance, Sahara, Russet Orange, Violet Chalk, Merlot, Mulberry, Graphite); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist, Lilac Bloom); Sakura Stardust (clear, yellow, orange, purple); Posca pen (white);
Tools: Lavinia Hill Masks, Mini Hill Masks, White Orbs stencil.

I must admit I had been putting off decorating my calendar as I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but having completed my first page which was a real labour of love I’m now feeling fired with enthusiasm to continue! So hopefully in amongst the Christmas rush there will be 11 more of these coming along over the next few weeks - watch this space! 

Take care, and thanks for visiting.

Pastel Christmas


Hi everyone, I’m here with another Christmas card - this time a simple card in soft pastel shades featuring Lavinia Christmas trees.


I stamped a row of 3 fir trees in 3 pastel shades of Versafine Clair, then 2 more 2nd generation trees in between to suggest depth. I grounded the trees with a grey Zig pen, added some background stamping in the corners then stamped a silver star on the central tree. I highlighted the trees liberally with Sakura Stardust pen and the ground with Stickles. I stamped my Christmas word onto a separate card snippet in two tone, and added the masked word “Merry” from a different set, cut out and attached. Finally I added some white Posca snowflakes and matted onto a border of ombré glitter card and my card blank.

Here’s an angled picture to show the sparkle.


Stamps: Lavinia Fir Tree 1, North Star Mini, Winter Magic, Seasonal Words, Christmas Greetings; 
Media: Versafine Clair (Hawthorn Rose, Very Peri, Lilac Bloom, Arctic, Baby Pink, Medieval Blue); Stickles (Stardust); Sakura Stardust pen (clear); Pisca pen (white).

I was strangely a teeny bit dissatisfied with this card … with hindsight I wished I had left off the background wording and the balance of the sentiment isn’t quite right … but these things tend to evolve naturally so sometimes it just works out better than others! 

Take care and thanks for visiting.

Christmas wishes, sent with love


Hi everyone, today’s card is another one using my bauble stencil, but this time I have coloured it rather than creating a little scene inside it. I took the opportunity to use my cute little bird with the wording “calm” and “peace” which I thought would work really well  for Christmas, especially with the addition of other positive Christmassy words.


I cut a 5” square of stamping card, and created the main bauble by blending Distress Oxides through the stencil and spritzing with water while the stencil was still in place. When dry I stamped the foliage using 2 shades of green VFC, and the 2 teeny baubles also using VFC. I added shading around the baubles with my new grey Inktense pencil (I don’t think I’ve really got the hang of it yet but will persevere!) and shading to the small baubles using Zig pens and white pastel pencil. I then added some sparkle to the paler areas of all 3 baubles with my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, stamped the bird in the bauble, and added some white Posca highlights and some 2nd generation background words. I matted the panel onto a black border and the card blank, drew my bauble strings and added some spatters, then stamped, cut out and attached the 2 main sentiment panels.

Stamps: Tracy Evans Boutique Designs TE22 Christmas Wishes, TE18 Decorations, TE4 New Beginnings; AALL & Create #806 Fallen Leaves, #831 Sent With Love;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist, Grass Green, Green Oasis, Monarch, Charming Pink); Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; Spectrum Noir sparkle pen (clear); Posca pen (white); pastel pencil (white); Inktense pencil (Neutral Grey);

Bewitched


Hi everyone, this month’s Lavinia Creative Challenge is “Bewitched” … clearly in homage to Hallowe’en. I don’t really do Hallowe’en as I have no young children to send cards or treat boxes to, so I’ve never invested heavily in Hallowe’en supplies. I have actually extremely belatedly ordered a couple of this year’s Lavinia Hallowe’en stamps, primarily so that I can decorate the October page of my calendar, but they’re not here yet so I had to get my thinking cap on in order to sneak a last minute project in before the challenge closes! The upside is that there are also lots of other Hallowe’en/spooky themed challenges around right now to enter!

I decided to go for Mooch the cat being bewitched by the moon, and the scale of the scene I had in mind best fitted the dimensions of a tag - something else I don’t create very often! So I also had opportunity to bring into play a grungy tag die set that I bought a while ago when there was a promotional offer, but I hadn’t used yet.  Here’s the result.


I cut my tag from white stamping card, and the tag border from black linen card stock. I blended Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide on the bottom 1/3 of the tag, and Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion on the top part with a circle moon mask in place. I then  created the landscape with Black Soot DOX and my Mini Hill Masks, and stamped Mooch near the bottom. I added some softly blended Spiced Marmalade DOX inside the moon circle then stamped the moon over it using 2nd generation Morning Mist VFC. I stamped the castle at the edge of the tag, added some branches, mushrooms and a flight of bats. I coloured the castle windows with watered down Posca sparkle pen, and highlighted the scene with orange Sakura Stardust pen and white Posca. I blended Black Soot DOX all around the edges to add depth, and finally added some orbs using sparkle pens coloured through my White Orbs stencil and dotted with Posca pen. When dry I matted onto the tag border, punched a hole and edged with a teeny die from the same set, and added black glitter twine.

Here’s an angled pic to show the shimmery orbs.


Stamps: Lavinia Mooch, Far World Castle, Moon, Bats, Tree Branch, Slender Mushrooms Mini;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Spiced Marmalade, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Black Soot); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist); Sakura Stardust pens (Orange, purple, clear); Posca sparkle pen (orange); Posca pen (white);
Tools: AALL & Create die #30 Taggletastic; Lavinia White Orbs stencil; Lavinia Mini Hill Masks and Circle masks.

Vintage Christmas


Hi everyone, today I would like to share a card that is my first attempt with a new-to-me technique - stamping a silhouette stamp with Distress Oxide ink and then dragging out the colour with water, and then creating the background by watercolouring (carefully!) around the stamped images with more DOX. This was inspired by one of Tracy Evans’ snippet videos - she used different stamps and colours, but it prompted me to try something very similar with the Christmas baubles.  It’s quite a different approach to my recent card here where I stamped the baubles with VFC and coloured with Zig pens and pastel pencil. 


I cut a 6” x 4” piece of stamping card, then stamped the baubles by dabbing Scorched Timber DOX around the edges. I then drew the colour towards the centre of each bauble and added more watered down DOX with a water brush until I was reasonably happy with the shading. 

I created the background by painting around the baubles using watered down DOX and dragging out the colour, gradually adding more nearest to the baubles. I spattered with water and allowed to dry naturally, then added random background script stamping using Vintage Photo DOX. I then brought into play my new set of  Tracy’s stamps for AALL & Create which I bought last week in the A&C sale - I have wanted those ferny branches for a while! I stamped these at both top and bottom of the panel using Scorched Timber and Vintage Photo DOX, then added some blended DOX around the edges. 

I added some Wink of Stella to highlight the baubles, white Posca accents and spatters, then stamped, cut out and attached the sentiment which as also lightly brushed with blended DOX and topped with white Posca to represent snow. Finally I hand drew the bauble strings with a dark brown fine liner pen, and matted the finished panel onto dark brown and kraft card stock then a 7” x 5” card blank.

Here’s an angled picture to show the shimmer on the baubles.


Stamps: Tracy Evans Boutique Designs TE18 Decorations, TE22 Christmas Wishes, TE11 Background Elements; AALL & Create #806 Fallen Leaves (branches);

I’m really delighted with how this one turned out as I love the soft vintage look of the Distress Oxides, and the time spent watercolouring was really therapeutic! It’s actually my favourite of the cards I have made with these bauble stamps  so far. My enthusiasm for colouring these baubles in various ways means my Christmas card pile is now starting to look a bit more healthy, though there is still some way to go!

Take care and thanks for visiting.

Patterned Papers


Hi everyone, this week’s challenge at Allsorts is to use patterned paper … something I rarely do nowadays although I have enough to stock a craft store! Given this prompt I decided to look some out and have a little play with it, and the result was a simple (but hopefully effective) card with shadow stamping.


I tore two pieces of patterned paper and attached down the left side of a kraft card blank, then shadow stamped a group of fir trees using first Portobello Versafine Clair, then Brilliance pigment ink in Moonlight White. I grounded the trees with brown Zig pen and white Posca pen, then stamped the sentiment in Portobello and added white Posca “snow” accents. I then died some white Posca snowflakes and that was it - job done!

Bauble mania!


Hi everyone, today’s card is another one from the same craft session as my previous card, which explains why it is in a similar colour scheme. Right now I’m on a bit of a roll, experimenting with various ways of stamping and colouring my silhouette bauble stamps and stencil by Tracy Evans - this one is stamping with Versafine Clair onto a smooshed Distress Oxide background, then shading the baubles with Zig pens, pastel pencil and sparkle pen. 


I cut a square of white stamping card and created the background by dabbing on two colours of Distress Oxide ink using acetate. I then stamped the baubles using Bali Blue and Avocado VFC, added shading with Zig pens, then highlighted with white pastel pencil and Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I stamped falling holly branches using a mix of Avocado and Shady Lane VFC, then  added berry branches in 1st and 2nd generation Bali Blue. I added some grey background stamping, then stamped the greeting onto separate card, cut out and attached with 2 stamped birds sitting on top. I added grey Zig pen shadows to both the baubles and the sentiment … I have decided I definitely need a grey Inktense pencil like Tracy uses in her technique videos, and have ordered one today to add to my meagre Inktense collection! Finally I stamped a teeny red heart above the birds, added some white Posca highlights then matted the finished panel onto coordinating card stock and a card blank.

Here’s an angled picture to show the shading and highlighting a bit better.

🖤Happy Christmas🖤


I everyone, I’m back in the Christmas groove again, and would like to share another Christmas bauble scene I made. I love the challenge of creating a little fantasy scene in such a small space! For this one I reversed the method I used on my previous bauble card, using the stencil mask (inner) to create the bauble shape rather than the actual stencil (outer). Here it is.


I blended three colours of Distress Oxide ink around the bauble stencil mask to define the bauble shape, then spattered with water to add some texture. I then placed the stencil over the bauble shape and used Mini Hill Masks to create landscaping with more DOX and stamped the trees using a variety of shades of green Versafine Clair. I added second generation stamped background wording, and two small stamped baubles which I shaded with my Zig pens, white pastel pencil and Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I added some stamped holly branches using 2 shades of VFC to add interest, then stamped and shaded a little robin. I hand drew the bauble strings and added highlights with white Posca pen and Sakura Stardust pen before adding some white Posca snow spatters. When dry I added my stamped and cut out sentiment and matted the finished piece onto dark turquoise card stock and a card blank.

With hindsight I’m not completely happy with the brighter shade of green I chose to stamp one of the larger trees and think I should have used Avocado instead, but hey it’s done now, and overall I’m quite pleased with it.

Here’s an angled pic to show the sparkle.
