Magnus on a Winter’s Night by Rosemary Rogers
Hello everyone.
This is my second step by step tutorial for Lavinia stamps. I thought I would do another one to welcome 2021.
The team at Lavinia have put together lots of videos and step by step tutorials for you to enjoy.
I’m using Magnus as my main stamp for this card. He is gorgeous.

The Steps in creating Magnus on a winter’s night
(click on the first image to view as a slideshow)
-
- Using a 17 cm square piece of multifarious card, gently blend blueprint sketch, faded jeans and chipped sapphire distress ink into the card leaving centre of the card quite light with colour.
-
- Mask off bottom of card with low tack masking tape. (You can do this before inking, I’m going to be using acrylic paint as snow effect so masked of after inking.)
-
- Using Blue Belle, Rainforest and Monarch versaFine Clair ink. Ink up fir tree stamps using alternating colours stamp across card varying heights a little bit.
-
- Blend Dusty Concorde distress ink at top of card. Dry ink with a heat gun or let dry naturally, before next step.
-
- Once ink is dry, stamp red pine trees with versamark ink and gold embossing powder. I stamped one large red pine tree and two small trees in the foreground.
-
- I sprinkled a little gold embossing powder at top of card to give a bit of shimmer, then Highlighted all the trees with Gold pen.
-
- Stamp Brodwin with Onyx black ink in top left-hand corner of card.
-
- Then with a fan brush, add a little more water to the acrylic paint gently tap brush to get a sprinkling of white paint to give a snow effect, do this on the card and the acetate. Highlight Magnus with a white pen.
-
- Make a 1cm fold at each end of the acetate. Place double sided tape on the back of the card, stick down one side, then stick down other side to the card, this will leave a bow effect in the acetate. Then mount card onto black and white layers before finally mounting onto 8” card.
Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful 2021. Take care, stay safe.
