Now to my project! Here's a Halloween card created for this week's Topflight Stamps "Anything Goes" Challenge with products by Lavinia Stamps.
Place a panel of Mixed Media paper onto a magnetic craft mat. Place low-tack tape horizontally along the bottom edge of the panel. Place the smallest acetate circle mask from the Acetate Circles Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps on the upper right as shown. Secure it with a magnet.
Brush Dark Denim Elements Premium Dye Ink by Lavinia Stamps over the Circles Mask and the tape around the outer edges of the panel. Brush Della Blue Elements Premium Dye Ink over inked sides, blending as you go. Brush Violet Chalk Elements Premium Dye Ink over top to add some purple tones to the panel.
Remove the tape and the Acetate Circles Mask. Cover the top portion of the image panel with a piece of acetate. Brush Pine Elements Premium Dye Ink over the acetate onto the bottom part of the image panel. Remove the acetate covering the top of the image panel.
When using clear stamps, I often use the acetate stamp index to work out placement. Using a stamping platform helps immeasurbly. That's what I did with this card. I knew that I wanted to use the Zemira Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamp with the Whimsy Hats Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps.
Place the image panel onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the acetate stamp index from the Zemira Clear Polymer Stamp over the image panel. Position the acetate stamp index from the witch hat from the Whimsy Hats Clear Polymer Stamp Set so that it's sitting on Zemira's head. Place the witch hat stamp onto the witch hat index sheet. Remove both index sheets.
Ink the witch hat stamp with Twilight VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Ink the hat again with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp.
Stamp the witch hat from the Whimsy Hats Clear Polymer Stamp Set onto the top part of a Post-It Note (with the sticky part on the back. Fussy-cut the bottom of the witch hat and position the acetate index from the Zemira Clear Polymer Stamp so that her head is on the Post-It Note and the her dress is on the "grassy" area. Place the Zemira Clear Polymer Stamp onto the acetate index sheet. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.
Position the flying owl from the Brodwin and Maylin Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps so that it's slightly above Zemira's hand. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.
Position the left facing cat from the Hocus and Pocus Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps so that he's standing on the "grass". Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. Heat set the image panel.
Position the Sacred Spells Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps at the upper right. Ink the stamp with Violet Chalk Elements Premium Dye Ink and stamp. Clean and dry the stamp. Reposition the Sacred Spells Clear Polymer Stamp so that it's along the right hand edge, ink the stamp with Violet Chalk Elements Premium Dye Ink and stamp. Clean and dry the stamp. Reposition the Sacred Spells Clear Polymer Stamp so that it's along the left edge above the "grassy" area. ink the stamp with Violet Chalk Elements Premium Dye Ink. Heat set the panel again to prevent smearing.
Brush the "moon" with yellow, then white Pearlescent chalk. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to ink the Raventhorn Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps and stamp it along the outside edges of the panel, rotating the stamp as you go. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the Mini Silver Leaves Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps in open areas. Trim the image panel and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat set the image panel.
Ground the images with Merlot Elements Premium Dye Ink, which also adds a nice shadowed look.
Use watercolor pens to color Zemira's hair and the details on her dress.
Adhere the image panel onto violet cardstock cut 1/8" larger than the image panel. Adhere the matted image panel onto blue cardstock cut to 4.75" x 6.75". Adhere the double-matted image panel onto a black 5" x 7" card.
