Card making with Lavinia Stamps

Hi, Connie here with a couple of cards using stamps and stencils
by Lavinia Stamps.  Topflight has an amazing selection of these
wonderfully fun stamps.  All you need is an imagination!


Both of the cards were created in the same manner just with different stamps.
The cardstock used has a matt (slick) finish to it. It takes the Distress Oxide ink
differently than regular cardstock.  I really love the look~
Card #1 ~



The Distress Oxide is added to the cardstock with a foam applicator. I then added the stencil
and added more color, creating dark areas on the background. The Ivy is outlined with
a white gel pen. The pebble ground stencil is added next. The card front was put on a stamping
platform and the silhouette stag and butterflies were added. I used Versafine / Onyx
Black for my choice of ink.  The sentiment is stamped on a strip of white cardstock,
cut down and adhered across the bottom of the card. The card front is
speckled with white acrylic paint.

Card #2~


The second card is created just like the first card except the buzzing bee and 
the foliage are added.  The bee is painted in with yellow acrylic paint and
a glitter pen was used on the wings.  The foliage tips are dabbed with acrylic
 white paint. Both cards are speckled with white acrylic paint to complete
the enchanting look.
