Lavinia's Cards - Challenge and some Techniques

Hello Dear Blogger Friends:

Here I am sharing with you several cards made using Lavinia's Stamps...

The first set of cards are made following this month theme challenge "Spring Blooms"...

I used the masking technique on both...just in a different way for each card

On This one, I mask the bottom and top and I sponged different inks and stamped the sprigs on the aperture...

I added some "Wink of Stella" glitter on the wings of the fairy (see photo)

This second one has lots and lots of masking...each section is sponged individually and stamped using the same color of ink

detail of the different "spring blooms"
The sections were marked in black with a "black sharpie"

Note: Lavinia's challenge changed it's format...
Now it is being held at Lavinia's main Facebook page, it is no longer hosted at the challenge blog...
But the rules are the same and the prize too!

2 Cards with Lost Coast Designs

Hello My Friends:

I have two very different cards made with Lost Coast Designs Stamps...

using the same technique "MASKING"...

The first one was published at the Challenge/event blog: "Lost Coast Portal To Creativity" for this months challenge which the theme was circles...

I used the "mandalas" stamps for the circles placed in a white semi circle...and each time masked to stamp  the next one...

The "daisy flourish" was gold embossed on top  and colored/sponged around with some green ink to make  it pop and inside the flourish I colored with a green "Copic" marker....

I used the die cut "Thanks" from "Savvy Stamps" and  curved  it

The second card is a Halloween card posted at the Regular DT blog: "Lost Coasters Review" ...

The background was masked and sponged in various colors ...

 I stamped twice the crow , glued one on top of the other to give some dimension...added some silver  "Stickles" and a dot for his eye

I used the Crow,  from the "Mother Goose Birds" set which comes with 3 different birds
the flourish "Long Swirl" for the background and on the top added the book sign, which comes in a set/plate of 5 stamps called  "Altered Book Set"
 
added some chip board numbers "Tim Holtz/die" on the opposite corner on top and Voilà!
Note: the branch is a die cut from "Memory Box"

Thank you for your visit 

and comments - much appreciated..

Until Next Time...
