Magical Glow: Lavinia Pixie Lanterns Card with Lindy’s Gang Magicals

 

Hello crafter! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I’m diving into dreamy color and magical details using Lavinia stamps and Lindy’s Gang Magicals. If you love shimmer, soft watercolor blends, and a little fairytale glow, this one is for you.

This mixed media card came together with layered pigment powders, delicate stamping, and just the right touch of gold embossing to make everything sparkle.

I started with Bristol Smooth paper, which is perfect for pigment powders and controlled water movement. Using Lindy's Gang Magicals in the Boho Dreams set, specifically Wanderlust Wisteria, I sprinkled the powder directly onto the paper and spritzed it with water to activate those rich, shimmery pigments.

The magic happens instantly. The powder bursts into layered purples and soft earthy undertones. I repeated the process a few times, building depth until I had a background that felt balanced but still organic.

Pro tip: Let each layer dry slightly before adding more if you want more defined color pockets.

 

Once the background was dry, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps Pixie Lanterns several times using Versafine Twilight ink for a crisp, deep impression.

To give the lanterns that magical sparkle, I added WOW! Embossing Powder in Gold Vintage Lace and heat embossed them. The gold against the purple tones creates that warm, glowing contrast that makes the whole card feel alive.

 

Next, I stamped Dana from Lavinia and added soft watercolor details.

• I painted in a subtle grassy hill beneath her.

• I deepened the color near the lanterns to create a glow effect.

• I used leftover watercolor on my palette to add shading around the lanterns.

• And of course, a few splatters for movement and texture.

Those finishing touches pull everything together and give the card that enchanted evening vibe. Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to shop the sale while your favorite supplies are still in stock.

Would you try this technique with a different Magical color? I’m already thinking about what shade to experiment with next.
