Happy Easter

Good Morning everyone.  

Today im sharing some very inky stamped scene cards using Lavinia stamps.  My scene continues onto the back of these cards, so you can flip the scene on your mantlepiece😀

These are small but mighty! Approx 5.5x3.5" . Using my old sue wilson die set, i cut the largest die from white card adding the lacy insert piece, i then folded this in half as my cardbase.  I cut the largest plain one from gold pearl paper and this became my insert.

Raiding my ready inked backgrounds i dug out some suitable ones - this one was oxide ink background, i then die cut them with the smallest die to match my cardbase.  I then got stencilling with oxide inks and stamping my little scenes, this time with the fabulous hares - love these guys, also the fab dandelion stamp which is stamped in green archival ink. I doodled in some ground for them to stand on and added shadow with grey alcohol markers. Stamped greeting.

I then folded this panel in half and cut down the middle, i then stuck on my card base front and back.  Cutting it in half just meant it was less bulky in the middle and my card folded nicely.  A few light touches of glitter glue to finish. 

And the back of this card.

And this shows both front and back

version 2 is using fab hedgehog stamps from Lavinia - i do love spring when 'my' hedgehogs wake up, i have 2 coming to eat each night at the moment.  The detail in these lavinia stamps is amazing really.

This was a brusho background and i added more subtle stenciling, on this one i also stamped another lavinia foliage stamp in the background in soft grey.  

and the back of the card

again showing front and back

and this shows the card stood up, usually i cut inserts smaller than the card base but in this case i wanted the gold pearl to show through the lacy cut outs on the card front.
