The Dusk Garden #laviniastamps


I had a late night play session and created this piece.  The lovely background colours are a mix of several shades of Distress Oxides:  Festive Berries, Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany, Ripe Persimon, Fosilized Amber and Abandoned Coral.

I have used Lavinia Stamps throughout this card.  I started by stamping "Wild Vines" in Versafine "Stormy Grey" ink along the bottom of the card.  

Using Versafine "Black Onyx" ink for the rest of the card I stamped the "Nigela Damascena" thistles and the "Fairy Buds" (the tall flowers) then more "Wild Vines" and finally the sentiment/verse called "Embrace Your Dreams".

Finally I added touches of gold using a Signo Pen and touches of gold sparkle using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen and inked the edges in black ink.
