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.

Lavinia stamps dragon 'ollar' & verse 'spiral of spells'
Sheena Feather stamps
Stencils - stars & circle spiral

Believe in Dragons


Good Morning everyone, i hope you're having a good week

Today im sharing my first outing with this Lavinia dragon stamp

8x8" cardbase.  I cut a piece of white card to fit my card front, i made a circle mask using my large circle dies from a piece of spare cardstock, using re-positional glue i attached it to my white card panel.   I then painted inside the circle with clean water and sprinkled on brushos in shades of green and gold & red pixie powders.  Let dry completely.
I mixed up some of the pixie powder with a little water to make a thick paint and stencilled it through a star stencil.
I then stamped some foliage with oxide ink, stamped the verse in grey archival ink in the middle.  I then took a sunrays stencil and oxide inks and inked it all the way around the circle, concentrating more ink on the outside edge and fading inwards. Once completely dry i removed my mask.  
I stamped the dragon 3 times with black archival inks, using my stamp platform i overstamped to get a nice solid black.  I stamped the believe and splashed on some inks to the background to finish.  Mounted onto black card and then my base card after rounding all the corners - to give a softer edge picking up on my circle. 


A close up, you can see that the mica in the pixie powders and the oxide inks adds a slight resist and comes through the dragons so for the middle dragon i stamped him again onto white cardstock and cut out the middle part, i gently curved and added with glue gel which adds some nice dimension. 

For my first outing of this stamp im pleased with it -  it has the feeling of a dragon eye to me.

Lavinia dragon & fairy verse stamps
Inkylicious 'believe' stamp
Foliage stamps - magazine freebie
Stencils - stars, sunburst
Brushos - lime, leaf green & yellow
Cosmic Shimmer pixie powders - scarlet mist, mango blaze
