Hi everyone, today’s card is the result of a play with my newish gel press and some Lavinia floral stamps to make a delicate meadow scene - this is another one I made particularly for this month’s Country View Crafts FB challenge.
I brayered two colours of Elements ink onto my gel plate, spattered with water using my Tim Holtz spatter brush and took a print, then created a sun by blending more ink around a small circle mask. I then masked the outside of the circle print and stamped meadow flowers, field grass and fairy bell flowers in shades of green Versafine Clair, and birds flying across the sun in Pinecone VFC. I coloured the heads of the flowers with white Posca pen and added sparkle to the fairy bells, then added graduated dots of pink, yellow and glitter Posca pens around the base of the circle. I edged the finished piece with gold Posca pen and matted onto pink card stock and a 6” card blank, then stamped, edged and attached the sentiment.
Here’s an angled picture to show the sparkle.
Stamps: Lavinia Wild Summer Flower, Field Grass, Fairy Bells, Birds; AALL & Create #533 Bring On the Sentiments;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Confetti, Lime Punch); Versafine Clair (Shady Lane, Verdant, Pinecone); Sakura Stardust pen (yellow); Posca pens (white, pink, yellow, gold); Posca sparkle pens (pink, yellow);
Tools: Lavinia Roland gel press, acetate circle masks.

Hi Pauline
Many thanks for your lovely comment and good wishes on my blog.
Having fun catching up with people now (alongside all the change of addresses we now need to make)!
You have certainly been very busy during my absence and have posted some really beautiful creations.
Particularly love this one with your beautiful colour choices and stamping technique.
I was equally impressed with your snippet organisation post. I wish mine looked like that. I think my problem is I save pieces that really are too small and they take up far to much space. LOL!!!
Hope you have a good week.
Love Jules xx
Wow, Pauline, this is a stunning card! I love how you built up each element, your very clever masking and the colours you worked with are just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM.
This is just stunning. It's a beautiful composition with amazing colours.
A gorgeous colour combo and pretty stamping details too.

The pink version is just as pretty as the nightsky on your more recent card. Love how it turned out and the stamps are beautiful!
