I made a similar card to this one last year and really liked the outcome so have decided to use the same background again, I used a  large circle die cut mask for the moon, using chipped sapphire and faded jeans distress inks on the background and water. I Used spun sugar and old paper for the moon. Stamped the branches with acorn versafine Claire ink. The remaining images were stamped with black onyx versafine ink. For the Highlights I used a clear gel pen, on the water I used the clear gel pen and made small wiggly lines. Card was finished in one evening. 



For my next card I I used the following Lavinia stamps.

For my second sample I thought I would use my New spectrum noir inks that hubby brought me for my birthday. They are very nice colours was very happy with them. I used Honeypot, grasshopper, pink tulip, and plum jam for the background. For the snail I used acorn versafine Claire, (second generation) the leaves were stamped with plum jam and pink tulip spectrum noir ink. Words stamped with pink tulip (second generation). Remaining images are stamped with black onyx versafine. Highlighted with clear gel pen. 



Look forward to seeing all your fabulous creations. Good luck.
