Hey everyone, it's time for a new
Lavinia World Challenges #28. This is definitely a Magical place! The theme is anything goes using any stamped image (no digis please). The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to
Lavinia World.
Today's project is fairly simple to create using stencils, inks, and stamps. I was going for a monochromatic look using browns and purples. Although it doesn't look like it in the photo, the
Fairy Chain was stamped with Pine Cone VersaFine Clair ink and heat set with Clear embossing powder. No matter how many photos I took, it looked like I used black ink. Oh well....at least in person you can tell it's a dark chocolate color.😀
For this project, I used the following Lavinia stamps found at
Lavinia World:
For today's project, I wanted to use a stencil for the background. After checking out the various stencils I have in my stash, I decided on a Momenta one. This one already has a tacky backing, so no need to spray it with Pixie Spray or tape it down.
After taping down my white cardstock and adding the stencil, I blended three different shades of Distress Ink on top (Old Paper, Antique Linen, Tea Dye). I used the lightest shade for my first pass, then removed the stencil and turned it a different way. Then came the second layer of ink. Finally, I turned the stencil one more time and added my darkest color. By doing this, you get a whole new pattern and makes the stencils you already own more versatile.
As I mentioned above, the
Fairy Chain was stamped with Pine Cone and the
Quirky Mushrooms were stamped with Chianti. I added white highlights to the mushroom caps.
I cut apart my
Believe in Magic sentiment so I could space the words differently than what the original stamp has. I can always lay them back together on an acrylic block if I want to use the original design.
Taking a scrap of white cardstock, I added some shading with the Distress Inks and then stamped the words on top using VersaFine Clair (Chianti) ink. I then added Clear embossing powder to this and heat set it. The final step was to fussy cut out the words.
After adhering the sentiment to my focal point, I added 1/4" high pop dots to the back for lots of added dimension. This was then adhered to a sturdy piece of cardstock used for my base.
