Hi everyone, here I am again with another card using one of my new Lavinia stamps, from my visit to the Dreamatorium on Saturday. Initially I wasn’t going to purchase the ‘Berry Branch’ stamp, but then I saw that amongst Jo Rice’s gorgeous demo samples she had made a couple of Christmas cards with it, so I was inspired by that. Here’s my card, using the new stamp with some older Christmas stamps.
I cut a 6.25” x 4.25” piece of stamping card, and stamped the street lamp. I masked the lamp then created my snowy landscape with Mini Hill masks and blended Elements ink, and blended more ink using a circle mask to create the twilight sky. I stamped the branch several times using Pinecone VFC then stamped berries here and there, and also added Annie and Edward looking up at the lantern. I coloured the berries and lantern with Inktense pencils, and the branches with Zig pen, then added some Wink of Stella to the lamplight for sparkle. I stamped the sentiment then added white Posca snow to the branches, lamp and sentiment, and highlights,, to the berries and figures with Posca and Stabilo pencil. I added some spatter Posca snow and when dry, matted the finished piece onto a red border and 7” x 5” card blank.
Stamps: Lavinia Berry Branch, Street Light, Annie and Edward, Christmas Greetings;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Della Blue, Dark Denim); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Pinecone); Inktense pencils; Kuretake Zig Clean Color Watercolor pens; Sakura Stardust pen (clear); Wink of Stella; Posca pen (white); Stabilo pencil (white).
