Orbs on Water by Holly Bloomfield
Hello everyone
Here is a new tutorial for Lavinia Stamps enthusiasts.
This time I’m using the Orbs Stencil with Brusho inks on Multifarious Card for the background and the stamps I am using are Trinity Fairy, Orbs and the beautiful Tree of Wisdom.
The Products used…

The Steps in creating the card
(click on the first image to view as a slideshow)
- I used brusho ink and painted it all over the card, leaving light in places
- Next I added some ultramarine brusho ink and covered the bottom to represent water and around the edge leaving the green as a background. Adding the orbs to the water.
- Then I stamped the tree on either side, then added Trinity Fairy standing upon one of the orbs. Using a thin layer of glue to her wings I added the fairy-tales glitter
- Next I used a round brush and removed some of the background to resemble distant trees. Removed some of the sky to add the moon. With the fan brush I added some leaves to the trees, then added some ripples of white on the water.
- Using ultramarine and white acrylic build up the leaves on the trees using the fan brush or a round brush. Add more white to the moon using white acrylic or pastel. Add some bushes to the edge of the river bank. Add some orbs using a dot of acrylic on your finger. Keep building your scene using posca pens and white gel pens, as shown in the main image.
- You can add darker shade to the water and lighter shade, using pastels or pens or just inks.
I hope you enjoy this little scene and try the tutorial.
Keep well.
