Fairy Sunset

Hello there lovelies - how are you today? We're all good and looking forward to spending the day with my mum and dad. The girls have been helping to paint all of my dads garden gnomes and I think they will finish that off today! Then we'll have time to go to the Park I suspect!

Today I've got a card to share with you that I made with the challenges at Lavinia stamps and the Sunday Stamper in mind.

I had lots of fun making this one - I used some A6 clarity coated card and stamped the main Lavinia stamp in black archival. Then I cut a circular mask and positioned it over the image before inking up my brayer with the big and juicy foliage inkpad using the red end of the pad.. After doing this I brayered the card to get the lovely colours - then reinked with the brown end of the pad to create the brown. Then I used spiced marmalade DI to get the orangey colour to the sun. When dry I used the lavinia french script stamp with espresso ink and stamped randomly. Finally I added the lavinia foliage in black archival to complete the look.
