Hi everyone, time seems to be flying by at the moment and I am trying to enjoy the beautiful weather we’re having here in the UK, but I have managed to have a little crafty playtime, and here’s the result.
I cut a piece of stamping card 6.5” x 4.5” and created a background with blended Elements inks. I stamped a variety of Lavinia flowers using Versafine Clair in Nocturne, interspersed with Summertime and Sand Dune to add dimension. I stamped the hovering fairies and coloured their wings with Sakura Stardust pen, then added white Posca and Stardust pen highlights to the whole scene. I added a little more depth by blending some Elements with torn paper to form wispy clouds, then I stamped, cut out and attached my sentiment before matting the finished piece onto a black border and card blank. This is another very sparkly card which unfortunately I just can’t capture on camera!
Stamps: Lavinia Wild Poppies, Garden Poppy, Dandelions, Fairy Foragers, Believe In Magic;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Lemon Drop, Sundance, Russet Orange, Paprika, Truffle, Graphite); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Summertime, Sand Dune); Posca pen (white); Sakura Stardust pens (orange, yellow, clear);
Tools: Lavinia acetate circle masks.

Love these hot orange/yellow colors with the silhouette stampings Pauline - I have so many Lavinia stamps that I file away and don't use - you have inspired me to get them out! Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational: Hot! Julia xx
Absolutely enchanting, Pauline! 🧚♀️✨ The warm blend of orange and yellow hues creates such a magical backdrop for the delicate silhouette stamping. The fairies truly come alive with the added sparkle from the Sakura Stardust and Posca accents—it's like stepping into a twilight dream. 🌅🧡
