I created this card using Lavinia Stamps and Lavinia Stamps Dinkles.
This has been such an amazing winter! There was a really challenging ice storm and a two-week time period of intense temperatures in the -20 to -40 range. In Minnesota, we’re used to way below zero temps, but they’re usually not for a solid two weeks at a time. Here’s the amazing part… last winter we received 22 inches of snow in December; this year, only two inches. Some temps have also been at record highs. Just an amazing and unusual winter in Minnesota.
To begin the card, I sprinkled Lavinia Dinkles over the surface of the cardstock paper. I spritzed the Dinkles with water and lifted and tilted the paper to move the inks around. After the paper had dried, I stamped the images with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I used a Lilac colored pencil on Starr’s hat, hair, and skirt, then added sparkle with a clear Gelly Roll pen. To create a focal point, I highlighted the lantern with a yellow Uni Posca Paint Marker. To finish the card, I attached the cardstock to a black cardstock base.
