Here is my second Lavinia stamp card. Again, I used a scrap of watercolor test paper from my stash (refer to my previous post). I found just the right yellow gold scrap (with metallic highlights) to die cut (Spellbinders) a moon. I glued the orb onto the mulsticolored watercolor paper before placing it into my Misti stamp alligner. Using permanent black ink, I stamped the log and leaves to get a clear impression. I took off these stamps and then positioned the fairies. After inking the fairy images, I stamped them repeatedly to get dark images. The inked fairy image on the edge of the moon had a faint line because the moon was slightly higher than the background paper. Careful coloring in with a permanent black marker solved the problem. On this card I flicked on gold Liquitex ink with a stiff brush. The little specks of gold added the magic touch....fairy dust! As with the previous card, I am enthralled with the finished look of the Lavinia stamped images. I can't wait to purchase more Lavinia stamps...perhaps mushrooms or mermaids. Crafty ideas keep blooming in my head...so many beautiful images!
