A Mother’s Love

I created this card using Lavinia Stamps, fairy glitter, and Lavinia Stamps inks.

I hope this finds you safe and warm! It’s been one of those winters here-the bad, a lot of snow and temps way below zero for extended times. The good, it’s only about eight weeks until spring. That sounds like a long time, but the warmth of spring will be here before we know it.

To begin the card, I positioned a Lavinia Acetate Hill Mask on the bottom of the Multifarious card and used a stencil brush to apply Lime Punch ink. I put the Mask over the inked area, then positioned a Circle Mask in the center of the card to protect that area, too. I stenciled Violet Chalk ink around the sides and top of the card; then used another of the Hill Masks and stenciled Sahara and Sundance inks within that mask circle to create the moon.

In the past, I’ve struggled when I’ve tried to use a stencil brush. This time, I got a better result because I added more ink to the brush as I blended and worked longer to blend the ink into the cardstock.

Next, I stamped the images with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. (The Fantasea and Liberty stamps are actually two boat-looking stamps, but I flipped them upside down to use the vine part of them.) To give the leaves some color, I used a paintbrush with Lime Punch ink.

I added sparkle to the flowers and the outside of the moon with a Quickie Glue Pen, followed by a sprinkling of Holographic Glitter.

To finish the card, I anchored the cardstock to a black cardstock base.
