I have such a big stash of Lavinia stamps I decided to sit down and use some today!
First, I laid a large circle mask over the 5"x5" panel and used a blender brush to color inside it with Distress Dried Marigold. I removed that mask and laid down a smaller circle mask over the bottom edge of the big circle and used the same blender brush to color it again with Dried Marigold making it a little darker for contrast.
I stamped the Tree of Dreams off the bottom and side edges a bit. I stamped the Fairy Charm heart off a branch and the Orchard Grass around the bottom of the tree.
Then I laid the Swiss Dot Stencil over the panel and used a blender brush to add Dried Marigold.
To finish my card, I stamped the happy birthday.
I'm linking my card to:
Stamps: Tree of Dreams, Orchard Grass, Fairy Charms - Lavina, Sentiment Suite: Birthday - The Greetery
Paper: Mulitfarious Smooth - Lavinia
Ink: Obsidian - Altenew, Ranger Distress Dried Marigold
Accessories: Circle Masks - Lavinia, blending brush, Swiss Dot Stencil - Frantic Stamper, stamp positioner.
Beautiful Julia, I know what you mean about having a stash of Lavinia stamps but not pulling them out as much as I should :)
