Lavinia Stamps "Ashryn" the bear in snow.

 

Today, I received my order from Lavinia Stamps with their new "Meadowbrook Tales" stamp collection.  After adding the stamps to a spreadsheet and storing them in plastic wallets, they were ready to use.

For the background, I used one of the Lavinia scenescape cards.  Stamping the new bear "Ashryn" on to the card using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I then stamped it again on white card, coloured the bear with Derwent Inktense pencils, applied with a brush, then fussy cut the shape and glued into postion.  I added extra detail using a brown fine liner pen.

Down the right hand side of the card, I stamped the Lavinia "Snowfalls" verse using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  Then using Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink, I stamped the Lavinia "Everlight 2" stamp.

I coloured the globe using a Posca Pen and a silver glitter gel pen.  Then added snow to some of the branches by using a white gel pen.

I grounded the bear usiing Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and the torn edge of a piece of copy paper.  Then edged the card using Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.  finally adding some more white orbs to the sky using a white Posca pen and smudging with my finger tip.
