You may recall, when I did the Brusho playtime a couple of weeks ago,this particular background made me say I had an idea for it. One of the WOYWWers birthday was coming up (LLJ), I already had the stamp, now I had the perfect background for it. I chose to use the background on the right.
The first stamp was from Lavinia stamps, a pair of boxing hares. Loved the stamp when I first saw it, and knew it would be perfect for a card for Jan, as we all know about her love for hares. As the background was done on a canvas sheet, the stamping isn't perfect, but that was easily corrected using Distress Ink Black Soot, and an Inkessentials nib. You could also use markers.
After the Hares, came a second Lavinia stamp,Moon Fairy, also touched up with Black Soot. The images were stamped In Versafine Onyx Black, by the way.
Next I added Cherry Blossom Branch, then some additional stamping along the bottom using Ivy Climber and Tiny Slender Mushrooms, all Lavinia stamps. A few grasses from an Inkylicious set, called Essential Grasses were also added.
I mounted the canvas panel onto some cardstock, and trimmed it down, to remove the rough edges. Then I went all round the sides with a silver Krylon pen.
At this point, I added some more of the Grasses stamping, this time in dark green, to help 'ground' the hares.
I mounted the panel onto a card base made from folding a sheet of A4 pearl white card, in half. The greeting was stamped in Versafine 'Deep Lagoon', and a couple of acrylic gem hearts added. Finishing touch was some 'Diamond' Stickles added to the stars, and as falling stardust from the fairys hand.
