Hi Lavinians 🧚‍♀️ Hope you enjoy today’s tutorial named “Make a wish” 💚

Any questions, do email in to cs@laviniastamps.com and we’ll be happy to help.

Picture 1

On white A5 Multifarious card stamp the beautiful Guinevere LAV445 in Versafine Morning Mist. The bottom layer of the rocks in the stamp are not in the picture.

Stamp the rocks from the Forest Moss Set LAV857 also in Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Look at the picture for placement.

Picture 2

Stamp the Tree of Wisdom LAV609 in Versafine Clair Pinecone. One tree is behind the rocks and the other tree is further away. Cover everything with Liquid Masking Fluid.

Picture 3

We want some more trees so we stamp the Tree Stem LAV643 in Versa fine Clair Pinecone, but on these trees we will do second generation stamping. A few more rocks will look good behind the tree in the background. Cover everything in Liquid Masking Fluid.

Picture 4

Let us start with some Bluebells LAV002 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Look at the picture for placement. Do both first and second generation stamping.

Picture 5

We want some trees in the far distance and the Forest Scene stamp LAV524 is perfect for this. Stamp in Versafine Clair Shady Lane and do second and third generation stamping. Stamp some smaller trees from the Tree Scene stamp LAV219 also in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. Stamp these small bushes in the front and in between the flowers and add some in the water next to the rocks Guinevere is sitting on. Use a grey Micron pen to draw some extra rocks like you see in the picture. Cover the rocks in Liquid Masking fluid.

For the background colour we will use Elements inks colour Midnight Blue, Blue Atoll, Violet Chalk, Graphite for the sky and some Olive to fill in in the trees and between the flowers. Spray some water on the sky and let the magic happen to the colour.

Picture 7

For the water we will use Elements ink Blue Atoll, Dark Denim and Violet Chalk. Look at the picture for placement of the colour. Spray some water on the water and let the magic happen here as well.

Make sure your card is 100% dry before removing the masking fluid. If you are not sure if it is completely dry, use a heat tool to ensure that it is dry before removing the masking.

Stamp the Silver Leaves Mini LAV891 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane for the foliage on the Trees of Wisdom. For the leaves on the Tree Stems we use Falling Ivy LAV352 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane. For all the foliage do both first and second generation stamping. Let us add some Bulrushes stamped in Versafine Clair Pinecone and some

Silhouette Foliage set LAV683 stamped in Versafine Clair Rain Forest. Add a few Orchard Grass LAV672 and some Flora Set LAV698 in Versafine Clair Shady Lane.

Now we colour our trees with some fabulous Mondeluz Watercolour pencils. I always use 4 different colours for the trees plus black if it needs to be darker. A dark brown, medium brown, reddish brown and an Ochre colour. Using several colours gives the object more life and depth.

Sweet Guinevere will look so magical in dark blue, and we will use a light blue to create highlights. Colour the rocks with a medium grey colour and then use a black pencil to colour on the lower part of all the rocks. Use a dark green pencil to colour very softly along the water line.

Picture 11

Stamp the Mini North Star LAV707 in Guinevere’s hand and a few more in the night sky. Add some Stars all in Versafine Clair Morning Mist.

Picture 12

Use a Gellyroll stardust pen to colour all the stars. To colour the flowers, we will use Posca pens. Light Pink on the Bluebells, Sky Blue on the Silhouette Foliage Set, Yellow on the Orchard Grass and some Violet on the Flora Set. Colour the Bulrushes with a brown pencil and do some highlights with a beige colour.

Picture 13

Now we use a White Uniball pen or a White Posca pen to create some highlights on everything.

Picture 14

We need a little bit of colour in the sky. We will use a Beige Soft Pastel Pencil and some Violet Pan Pastel add some orbs to create some mystery. Make different size circles with a violet Posca Pen, when it is dry make a dot in each Orb with a white Posca Pen. Use the Gellyroll Sparkle pen to make the Orbs spark a little bit. For the finishing touch add some Posca Pen splatters.
