More Bunny Fun

Hello everyone!  I'm back to share another card.  I used the same little hare as the previous card.  I entered this card in the Lavinia World Challenge Blog, as well as the bunny under the mushroom.

This background was also made with Distress Oxide Ink.  Sadly, I couldn't tell you which ones.  I made a whole of backgrounds one day to experiment and this was one of them.  The card is a slimline which fits nicely in a standard #10 envelope.  I imagine the sentiment on the inside will be a "Thanks for everything you do" type of sentiment.  For now, it remains blank.   I used the same hare and mushroom stamps, but added Tree Branch, mini Fairy Lantern, Luna Buds, and the leaves from the Fairy Door stamp set.  His friends are from the Dancing Fairies Stamp set.  The hills were created with Versafine Claire Ink in Twilight. 

The card below is a mini card measuring 2.5" x 3.5."   I had a little strip left from my bunny in the rain card.  I really liked that background, so I didn't want to waste it. Making tiny cards is one of my favorite things to do.  I never throw away good background scraps!

As for the bunny card I had previously posted and entered in the Lavinia World Challenge Blog challenge, I won! 

They have a new challenge every two weeks.  Definitely go back and check them out.  They have so many beautiful creations to inspire you. 

That's it for me tonight.  Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time, stay safe and stay creative!

Mini Gorjuss Girls

Hello everyone!  Quick post to share some cards I made with my mini collectable Gorjuss girls stamps from Santoro. For some reason, I just love these little things.  I had collected several of these stamps, but never used them. I have been jumping in and out of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge with Kathy over at the Daily Marker.   The challenge is such a great idea to keep you coloring.  Even if it's just a little each day. 

 

I kept these cards very simple.  I wanted the focal point to be my Gorjuss girl.  The one above I colored with Copics on Xpressit paper then cut her out to put her on the card.  This is a side fold A2 card.  

The one below, I colored with Prismacolor pencils directly onto the Neenah Desert Sand paper then mounted her on a plain A2 horizontal, top-fold white card base. 

The one below is colored with Copics on Hamilco #110 cardstock.   I'm on the fence about this paper.  I really like, but it's very fibrous when you cut it.  So, you have rough edges.   I'll have to try a different cutter.  The color is a cool bright white and it takes inks well.  I used my new Raindrop stencil from Newton's Nook Designs with Sky ink from CTMH to make it rain.  I used a brush and the same ink to make her a huge puddle to stand in. I haven't decided exactly what the sentiment will be for this one. 

That's it for me tonight.  I'm off to color some and try to make Day #25 on the coloring challenge.  I'm going to enter one of these in the challenge over at Lavinia World.  Thanks for stopping by.   Stay safe and stay creative!

Storms Never Last

Hello everyone!  I thought I would pop in to share a card I made with more Lavinia Stamps. I'm sorry, I'm obsessed!   This one is made with one of the Whimsical Hares and the Meadow Mushroom.

I stamped the silhouettes in Versafine Claire Nocturne.  I used my Inktense watercolor pencils to add color to the underside of the mushrooms.  I sat down one evening and made a whole bunch of backgrounds from all different types of papers and inks, just to experiment.  Sadly, I didn't write down what I used, or the colors, or anything, so I will have no way to recreate any of them or tell you what I used.  Sigh.  But, the other side to that is every time I make a background it's a surprise! Lol.

For the inside, I typed my sentiment and then decorated with the same wildflowers and a butterfly from Lavina stamps set called, Butterflies.

That's all for now. I just got a new shipment from Lavinia World Store and I have some creating to do.  I'm going to enter this one in the Lavinia World Challenge Blog, too.  You can find them, here. Thanks for stopping by!

New Found Love

Hello everyone!  I'm back to share a few more of the cards I had made with my Lavinia Stamps.  Most of these were posted originally on Instagram.  Feel free to follow me there @Stacy_Scraps.  Instagram is something else new to me.  I'm still learning!

This is Freya and her little mushrooms stamped in Versafine Claire Nocturne.    This background was just Distress Inks Fossilized Amber, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry, and Versafine Claire in Rain Forest.  The random wildflowers are from a set I ordered from Amazon from Kwan.  They have been invaluable fillers.  You will see them repeatedly. .

 

This is Freya and Fairy Thistles, with random wildflowers. 

These are Fairy Thistles and the small set of three Dancing Fairies, along with random wildflowers.  This background I used a brayer and a gel press with Distress Oxide inks and then splattered with Distress Inks.  Something else new I have been playing with, a gel press.  Definitely a learning curve on that one.

That's it for now.  I'll try to post more regularly.  Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time, stay safe and stay creative!

For the Love of Fairies!

Hello everyone!  It's been a while since I posted.  The card classes are over and I now have a stockpile of wonderful greeting cards to send to friends and family.  Love those classes.  While in class I started following some folks on Instagram which exposed me to Lavinia Stamps.  How have I survived without these?  This is a new style for me, but I have so enjoyed it.

I found a store in the US that has a huge selection of these stamps, Lavinia World .  They also have a blog with challenges and a very active Facebook group.  There is all kinds of inspiration to be had on these pages.

I recently entered a card in their Facebook challenge and received an honorable mention.  This is the card...

I stamped these images in Versafine Clair Nocturne on a background I created using distress oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet.  I used SSS White Pigment Ink to stencil on the moon.  I added, which you cannot see from this photos, sparkles with my Gellyroll stardust pen by Sakura.  Love these pens!

I have made several cards with my new stamps and my experimental backgrounds.  I never throw any of them away.  You just never know what you can turn them into!

If you get a chance, go check out Lavinia World, their blog, and facebook page.  You will not be disappointed.  

I'll be back with more later.  Until then,  stay safe, and stay creative!
