Lavinia Summer Hummingbird

Hello crafty friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and I’m thrilled to share my latest summery card project with you all. As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, there’s no better time to dive into our Lavinia supplies and let the magic of summer inspire our creations.

 

For this card, I started with a vibrant background that captures the essence of a warm summer day. Using Lavinia Elements inks in Blue Lagoon and Merlot, I spread the colors on my gel press with a brayer, blending them together to create a rich, textured canvas. The blend of these hues reminds me of a summer sky at dusk, just as the sun dips below the horizon, leaving a trail of deep blues and purples.

Once I lifted the print, I knew I had the perfect base for a whimsical scene. I stamped the delicate Lavinia Hummingbird and the elegant Divine 1 flower using Versafine Clair in Medieval Blue. The intricate details of these stamps really pop against the textured background, creating a harmonious balance between the bold colors and the intricate designs.

To add a touch of elegance and shimmer, I highlighted the hummingbird with subtle strokes of gold. I also decided to frame the scene with a hand-drawn border using a Spectrum Noir pen. To finish off, I spritzed the card lightly to lift some ink, creating soft areas of light and shadow. For a final touch of summer magic, I sprayed the card with Lavinia Golden Temple Mystical Mist. This adds a delicate shimmer that catches the light, making the whole piece glow with a mystical aura.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope this card brings a bit of summer warmth to your day and inspires you to create something magical this weekend. Until next time, happy crafting!
