Good Morning all
A bit of fun with lavinia stamps today, ive stamped onto white pearl cardstock as im still trying to make a dent in the pile...it has a nice shimmer when the light catches it which is ideal for a snowy scene.
Card size approx 5x7" I first made my base card using crealies arch dies and also cut a panel smaller again to stamp my scene onto. I first stencilled on some dots for snow with Lilac & violet oxide inks. I stamped the trees with library green archival ink, the tree branches with sepia & potting soil archival and the creatures with nocturn versaclair - this dried a little bit patchy but i decided it gave the appearance of feathers and fur so went with it!
I stamped 3 little lanterns hanging on the branches and added colour to them with yellow wink of stella pen so it sparkles in the light, using a brush i then added touches of the yellow to the scene to look like the light from the lamps were catching them. I also added glossy accents to the lamps to give a glass like effect.
Using pencils and distress inks i added some shadows and shading to give the image a little bit of depth, adding some of the purples used for my stencils snow. I edged the topper panel with distress inks also
I stamped the verse onto more white pearl cardstock, cut it up and added, touches stickles glitter glue to finish
Version 2 is using one of the owl stamps

I was inspired by the photo to use trees for my wood and picked up on the green ivy for colour

Truly beautiful cards. They have a deep sense of serenity and timelessness to them - not unlike the actual season of winter itself. I sincerely adore + am inspired by these creations, dear Emma.
