Misty Meadow

Hi everyone, I had a gel plate print left over from a previous crafty playtime and it reminded me of a misty, rainy sky, so I decided to make a simple scenic card for this month’s Lavinia Creative Challenge. Unfortunately I seem to have missed the challenge as this afternoon the entry box wasn’t there on the website - grr! 

I don’t normally make sympathy cards to have in reserve in my stash, but the background on this card just spoke to me that way! Please excuse the poor photograph - it is SO dark here today!

I cut a square of white stamping card, brayered Shaded Likac and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks onto my smaller square gel press, spattered with water then took a print. I masked the white edges of the card, created a misty sun with a circle mask and blended DOX, then stamped a variety of meadow flowers in various shades of Versafine Clair. I edged the sun with clear Sakura Stardust pen, and added sparkle and white Posca highlights to the flowers. I added stamped birds and a sentiment, then matted onto a border and 6” card blank.

Stamps: Lavinia Wild Poppies, Dandelions, Fairy Dandelions, Buttercups, Birds, Heartfelt Verses;

Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Shaded Lilac, Stormy Sky, Hickory Smoke); Versafine Clair  (Monarch, Lilac Bloom, Very Peri, Morning Mist, Medieval Blue, Nocturne); Sakura Stardust pen (clear); Posca pen (white).
