Christmas Card

I made this card using the LS Leaf Bouquet stamp - one of the new stamps. I coloured it using Gansai Tambi Gem Colour paints. I love these paints! One I had painted the image, and stamped the word (another new LS stamp) I dotted on some glue and sprinkled some Diamond glitter on. It looks stunning in real life! So sparkly! I am loving the new stamps from Lavinia Stamps (Winter Whispers). To see some more beautiful Lavinia Stamps cards, hop over to my friend Andrea's blog, she has some gorgeous cards she made. She won the entire new Winter Whispers range on Instagram!!  I was so happy for her!

Finally my new Lavinia Stamps have arrived!! It's taken a long time, because Royal Mail in the UK put the wrong tracking label on my parcel after picking it up from Lavinia Stamps. For a week or so I was unable to track the parcel and kept getting a weird message. I got in touch with LS, and after many phone calls back and forth to Royal Mail, they admitted to LS that they had put  the wrong tracking label on my parcel and it was going nowhere and was unable to be tracked. The lovely, and very efficient Annja from LS sorted it out for me and sent me a new parcel of stamps. They finally arrived late yesterday! Sorry for the long explanation! Any how, these are the first two cards I made late yesterday. The image on the card above is a bit of a challenge as the background is quite dark. The card below is quite sparkly, as I used a clear glitter pen on most of the image.

These are a few of the new LS stamps which were released at the end of October. I think there are 13 stamps which include some beautiful Christmas words. This is by far my most favourite range of stamps that LS have released! I made the backgrounds on these two cards using a gel press and different ink colours and a few drops of water.

Christmas Card

 A quick Christmas card made yesterday. The Berry Branch and small snowflakes are both from LS. The sentiment and large snowflake are both Suzanne Canon stamps. Her calligraphy is stunning! There's lots of sparkle on here, trust me! I brushed ink from 3 different coloured ink pads across the top of the card, then applied a wet brush over the top to blend the colours.

I have done a pictorial to show how I made this card, I hope you can follow it! I have used all Lavinia Stamps products. I started with a piece of white card. I have also used the LS Sticker Stencil 5, Arch.

Any questions, please ask! Thanks for dropping by on this gorjuss warm sunny day! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

This is a tall card, 7 1/2 by 3 inches. Even though it is not finished, I decided to post it anyway. I am waiting on some stamps to arrive that have Christmas words.  I used one of Lavinia Stamps Scene Scape's cards for the background, and stamped the sign, bird, holly and foliage on to that card. These Scene Scape's cards make awesome backgrounds, and make it quicker to make a card. There's lots of different designs and sizes too. I love them! I added some snow on the sign and Holly, using a white Signo gel pen.  Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

 

Snow Bunnies!

Here's a quick Christmas card I made. All Lavinia Stamps products. There's plenty of sparkle on it, but the flash on my camera cancels it out. Not much to say about this card, except it was quick and easy. I made the snowy hills using a torn piece of paper, a stencil brush and a grey ink pad.

New Cards!

I've been out of action for a couple of weeks and in that time Blogger has changed- frustrating:-( 

I've been in and out of hospital a couple of times, again, and they still don' really know what's going on. Anyhow, here are a couple of cards I made the other day. The one above is a big card, it measures 7x7 inches. All Lavinia stamps on both cards. There's a lot of elements in the top card and it took me several hours to complete. I made it the day after I came out of hospital as I wanted something to do that was both fun and relaxing. And it took my mind off my ongoing health issues. I am very happy how it turned out!

For this card above, I used a new sticker stencil from Lavinia to make the arch. I know the image is rather pale, something is going on with my laptop as it is changing the colours on everything I post. Uff da, I can't do anything about it at the moment.

Both cards have tons of sparkle on them, especially the first card.

Ok just a quick post today as I am still feeling tired and exhausted. 

Andrea B, I hope your Lavinia Stamps you won have arrived and you are having loads of fun with them! I'm still waiting on my order too arrive.
