Dragons

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing a circle card with the Lavinia dragon stamp and an inked, stamped and stencilled background



Approx 8x8" in size.  I first made a circle mask using a large circle die and piece of card, i attached to a piece of white card painted the inside with clean water and sprinkled on brusho's & pixie powders, let them do their magic and dry completely.  Keeping the mask in place i stencilled some stars and spiral detail with oxide inks.  I stamped the lavinia verse with grey archival ink in the middle so it draws the eye into the middle.  I Stamped feathers with grey archival ink. I then removed my mask and using my stamp platform stamped the dragon 3 times with black ink and then die cut into a circle, as i then decided i wanted a bit of dimension the stamped the dragons again on white card and cut out the bulk of the body, curved gently and added over the top with glue gel. Mounted onto a black circle and then a white circle.

To make it stand up i die cut another of the biggest circles from white card, folded it in half and attached to the back.  I then added some stickles with a  purple tone onto the purple stars to add a little more sparkle.


Side on showing it stood up and you can see the dimension on my dragons better too 

A close up of the background, you can really see the vibrancy although not the shimmer from the pixie powders when the light hits them.  Now you might think red and purple is a weird combo and not one i would think of but its actually one of the brusho powders - violet i think or maybe just the purple one but it has both purple and red in that little magic pot. 

Items Used:
Lavinia stamps dragon 'ollar' & verse 'spiral of spells'
Sheena Feather stamps
Stencils - stars & circle spiral
Spellbinders grand circle dies
Brushos - orange, violet
Pixie powder - red
Oxide inks - wilted violet, fozzilised amber
Archival ink - jet black & watering can
Ranger stickles - twinkle
Black card payper box
white card - craftUk ltd

Thank you all for stopping by and all your amazing comments.  I hope you have a good week even though its all still all over the place, thank goodness for my crafting this year to keep me sane!  Stay safe. Hugs Emmaxx
