Lavinia stamps are back on Hochanda today, with a great choice of stamps, and some fabulous demonstrations with the lovely Amanda. I hope you can watch the show, I will have to watch on catch up, as I’m on holiday and it will only be 4am in Memphis when the show is on air. I enjoyed making these samples to share with you.
My first two cards were made with distress oxide backgrounds. Using worn lipstick, peacock feathers, shaded lilac and seedless preserves.
On the first card I used versamark and gold sparkle embossing powder, I stamped and embossed the spiral of spells first then stamped the shrub and embossed one at a time.
For the second card, I also used a crackle effect stencil with seedless preserves, before stamping the branch on the background with versamark then embossing with pink and lilac melt dust that I found hidden away in the back of a cupboard. I then stamped the spiral of spells onto a circle background with versamark and silver embossing powder. Mat and layered onto burgundy and silver card, flicked some dark pink sparkle pen onto background, then placed imagine die cut next to circle

The next two sets of stamps on the show always remind me of Autumn. The Colours chosen were picked as they also remind me of Autumn. My next two cards were also made using distress oxides. Fossilised amber, peeled paint, spiced marmalade, fired brick and vintage photo. The autumn fall fairy was stamped with versafine Clair black ink. The ivy was stamped with =distress oxides.

For my final card I masked off a rectangular area of the card. I used iced spruce and dried marigold distress ink for the background. Then stamped tree in Acorn versafine Claire ink. Once dry I coloured the tree with a brown sparkle pen. Stamped Kayla and caterpillar with versafine Claire black ink. I then stamped the small leaves with different green coloured oxide inks. Flicked some brown sparkle pen to give some splats then highlighted edge in gold pen.
