Feather leaf stencil

The Steps in creating the card
(click on the first image to view as a slideshow)

: I had a piece of multifarious card measuring 24 x 15 cm, I cut the card to a 15cm square, and decided to use the smaller piece as a gift tag. Prepare Ripe permission, worn lipstick and squeezed lemonade oxide inks and water.

: Press all 3 colours onto mat then spray with water, spray a little water onto card then press card into the ink, lift the card dry with heat tool.

: Repeat process until happy with background.

: Place feather leaf Stencil onto card, then using white acrylic paint and small sponge, gently tap paint onto card and tag, do this in a couple of random areas, allow to dry.

: Using a stamping platform, rub card with powder then stamp larger Lilium flower using versamark, then heat emboss with gold embossing powder, repeat either side of large flower with the smaller flowers. Stamp a single Lilium flower on the tag.

: Using an acrylic block and versamark ink stamp Magic surrounds us words stamp, then rub gold mica powder over image with a soft brush. Leaves a faint shiny effect on the card. Repeat on tag.

: Highlight white acrylic paint pattern with gold pen on card and tag

: To finish card, blend ripe permission around edge of card before matt and layering. Matt and layer the square topper onto black and white card, then frame or mount onto 8 inch greeting card. Cut out desired tag shape then mount onto a larger black tag shape. Punch hole in centre and thread ribbon or string through.

I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations with the new stamps.

Take care, stay safe.

Magnus on a Winter’s Night by Rosemary Rogers

Chris Birchall January 5, 2021

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 Products I used…

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.
