We’re hoppin’ with a little Lavinia Magic

Fall is here and  we couldn’t resist using Lavinia for our September Card Hop.  With the harvest moon is about to rise and the leaves will start to dance, there is magic in the air and who says magic better then Lavinia.

Lavinia Magic Card

 

For the hop we are sharing a throwback  from Deb.

 

Lavinia stamps, seasonal tree, moon, layering moon, fall

 

If you haven’t seen this Tim Holtz Moon Mask set yet, you really have to check it out! You get 3 masks and 3 stencils, in 3 different sizes.  I chose the middle size moon. First, place the mask onto your white cardstock, and then blend Fossilized Amber around the edges. Leaving the mask in place, next blend Dusty Concord, then Chipped Sapphire, and finally Black Soot distress oxide inks. Now, remove the mask, and blend Spiced Marmalade distress ink to fill in the moon. Next place the moon stencil, and use the Black Soot distress oxide to stencil in the craters of the moon.

After completing the moon, remove the stencil, and then stamp the Lavinia Stamps Seasonal Tree in Nocturne ink.  Then blend a bit more Black Soot around the bottom, so that the tree doesn’t look like it’s floating. I didn’t have a suitable spooky sentiment, so I didn’t add one. But if you do, to the left of the tree at the bottom is the perfect spot!

Now, layer your image panel onto a piece of dark yellow cardstock with foam tape, and then glue it onto an orange card base. If you want to see more Lavinia cards from Deb click here:  Lavinia from Deb

Tuesday with Tara {take 444} Type Talk

I was browsing the SNS online store the other day and noticed a stamp set that I’ve been a fan of for years still in stock, so I thought it was a great time to share some cards with it!
My cards feature the fabulous Type Talk stamp set by Concord & 9th.  For my first card, I’ve used the floral image that is part of the set, colored loosely with watercolor pencils in the neutral shades of brown and teal.  The typewriter was stamped onto some paper which I inked up with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Spray– the mix of colors in this single spray was the inspiration for the entire card.
As you can see, the card itself is pretty simple.  I fussy cut the two stamped elements and adhered them to a stitched edge die cut panel.  I embossed my sentiment in ivory and added some stamped dots in a row above and below it.  The fun details that finished it off were some white Nuvo Crystal Drops on my typewriter keys and a bit of thin twine.  As you can see there is a touch of glitter on the flowers as well.
Here’s a more masculine version of the card (very similar, but a smaller scale than this one I shared previously).  The typewriter was stamped on the same piece of inked cardstock as my other card.
I also used a fun interactive element that I featured on a previous card (you can see my tutorial here).  You can see it here, as well as a closer look at the typewrite keys.  I love how the Nuvo drops picked up some of the color from the paper, making the keys more ivory than a stark white.

Wishing you creative days ahead…  I’ve been struggling to find creative time lately, in this busy season of life so I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from my Tuesday with Tara & Facebook Live posts for Scrap ‘N Stamp.  I still plan to make time for our monthly Inspiration Hop projects while I focus on catching my breath a bit :).  Please follow me on Instagram where I’ll be sure to share any updates and projects in the mean time!  
 
Inky hugs,
Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 442} “Aall” the thanks!

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s card is a little something different for me, I’ve made it with my colorful take on “La Dolce Vita” by Aall & Create!

I stamped & colored the images on white card stock, using Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons for some fun colors that would match the background I’d made previously (similar to the one I used on this card, except I added some Sparkle Texture Paste stenciled, this one is by Altenew, over it)

I cut my main image & a solid, pearly layer slightly larger from Hero Arts Pointed Arches Nesting Dies.  Since it was straight at the bottom, I stamped some grass along the bottom edge.  They are a fun change from the typical rectangles or circles I tend to default to using!  I trimmed the birds loosely and added them with 3D foam squares, then finished the card using one of the sentiments I demonstrated the enamel technique with on my Facebook Live last week- love how shiny it is!  Finally, I added a scattering of the spring floral mix-ups.  They are super pretty and match so well with this card, I couldn’t resist!

Hope this bit of whimsy makes you smile!

Inky hugs,

Tara
