Moving away from pumpkins today, I thought I would use of the quieter, less obvious stamp sets which is part of the new release from Lavinia Stamps, using the "Flower Pots" set.
I used two lengths of low tack tape to provide an area I could stencil through. I lay the Lavinia Stamps "Waffle Stencil" over the card and used "Violet" Archival Ink to create the patterned horizontal band across the card.
I stamped the new Lavinia "Flower Pots" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist". While the ink was out, I also stamped the "With Love" sentiment, which is part of the Lavinia "Heartfelt Verse" stamp set.
I stamped the lavender (also part of the flower pots set) in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" for the stems and "Monarch" purple for the flower heads. I then stamped the green foliage in the other post using Versafine Clair "Verdant" green ink.
I coloured the flower pots using "Burnt Orange" Derwent Inktense pencil, applied with a paint brush.
Finally, moving on to the grounding of the pots, I used a paint brush to paint "Lost Shadow" Distress Oxide Ink. I added a touch of 2B penil right below the pots for a little depth of shadow.
An elegant composition and card

DeleteThe Waffle stencil used for the strip across the card looks wonderful Sam, and the colour goes perfectly with the sweet and pretty lavender and foliage in pots. x
