Hi Lavinians 🧚‍♀️ Hope you enjoy today’s tutorial named “The Underwater World”

Let’s get stuck in! 💙

Start with a Multifarious card 19 cm x 21 cm. For the background we will use Elements. Start by blending Sundance in the centre and work outwards towards the edges with Mermaid, Blue Atoll and Blue Lagoon.

2. Use a spray bottle or a brush to splash water on the background.

3. Wait a little while until the water has lifted the colour and put on a paper towel. Let the paper air dry or use the heat tool. It’s important that the paper is dry when we start stamping.

4. Stamp Druids Pass in the centre of the card in Versafine Clair, Morning Mist.

5. Now stamp the large Dragons Thorn in Versafine Clair, Purple Delight along the sides and at the bridge. Stamp Botanical Blossoms Bud in the centre at the bottom with the same colour.

6. Stamp Far World Castle with Versafine Clair, Morning Mist in first and second generation. Use a piece of paper to mask the bridge.

7. To make a stone path use the stencil, Pebble, Versafine Clair Morning Mist and a blending brush.

8. Stamp the Mermaid Guinevere and Small Pixy Houses in Versafine Clair, Nocturne.

9. Sweet Dana will sit in Guinevere’s hand. Stamp her in
Versafine Clair Nocturne but wipe the colour off the lantern before stamping.
Now it looks like Dana is pulling Guinevere by the hair.

10. Stamp Glow Flowers and Lunar Buds in Versafine Clair, Glamorous wherever you see fit.

11. Now it’s time to add some colour. I have used Mondeluz watercolour
pencils and Posca pencils in red, orange, yellow and white.

12. Paint bubbles over some of the spots from the water splash. Use white, yellow and different blue and green shades of watercolour pencils and white Posca for the shine. I have a picture tutorial where I show how I make my bubbles. Search for “Bubbles” on Lavinia For You FB page and you will find it.
