Lavinia Cards

A few CAS cards to share today.

I started by using masking tape to create a panel on the card blank.  I lightly blended ink over the panel with blue Distress ink, then blended more of the ink over a Lavinia 'Pebble' stencil.  I stamped a Lavinia 'Lilly' stamp using Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'.  I put some of the blue ink on an acrylic block, spritzed with a little water and painted the flowers.  That's when I had a little mishap and I realised that I had accidentally smudged some black on the white card blank. So, I cut off the stencilled panel and attached it to a new card blank.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set.  Lavinia Stamps are some of my favourite stamps, so I'll be sharing my cards over in the We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


My second card, using Lavinia 'Three Woodland Mice' stamps and a stamp from the 'Mushroom Lantern Set'.  I  used a  Lavinia 'Feather Leaf ' stencil for the background.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


For this card I made a mask by die cutting a circle in a scrap of card.  I inked through the circle aperture with Distress Ink.  Keeping the mask in place, I inked again through a Lavinia 'White Orbs' stencil.  The stamped images are Lavinia 'Mushroom Lantern Set' and the sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Positive Thoughts' set.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:


I made two more cards with a similar design.

  4. A beautiful selection of Lavinia cards, couldn't choose between them, all lovely. Those pesky smudges to seem to come out of nowhere don't they but well done for rescuing the panel to use.

  17. You have been extremely busy with your Lavinia stamps and stencils Liz and love all the beautiful colours using some of their wonderful silhouette stamps which work brilliantly on each of the cards. I particularly love the first floral in that gorgeous blue, but the sweet mice come a close second. x
