BSS IDEA - Lavinia Stamps

Hi friends, and Happy Labor Day.  Hope you have had a wonderful

weekend so far.  Going to be a hot one today, enjoy whatever

you are doing.

Recently, Sharon got a new line of stamps in the store. Lavinia Stamps. They are

Fairies and animals and scene building stamps. You can build your

own background, or they also sell papers in different sizes with

beautiful background for you to stamp on.

I had a play over the weekend, two of the cards are background I

made using distress inks, and one is from the papers they sell

for you to stamp on.

I also used some of the beautiful Penny Black scene stamps that I

have, as well as Stampscapes stamps. For the moon, I cut a die cut 

circle and attached with removable tape and after completing the

background just removed the circle.

This was my first attempt at making a background.

I just used distress inks and the sponge applicator

to cover the piece of paper with color, leaving

some areas lighter.  When I was finished with

the scene elements, I went around the edge with

Navy blue dye ink and dotted the entire card

with a white gel pen.  I also used Crystal Stickles

on the wings of the Fairies and her wand.

This card is made with their papers, you just 

stamp right on the background.  Words are

also included in the collection and could

easily be used on the inside of your card also.

Another background I created for this card.

The large tree with birds stamp is one I have

had for awhile from Impression Obsession

called Birds on Trees.  Look through your

stamps for trees, grass, fences, and anything

else that you could use for these fun little

scenes.  Right now, Sharon has a large 

selection of the stamps in the store, it was hard

to choose which ones to buy!

That's me for tonight.

Thanks for stopping by

Have a wonderful Holiday

Until later........
