Aerial and Mooch {Lavinia World #17}

I have two posts today.  Please scroll down to view my happy news 😊!

Hey everyone.  It's the first Thursday of the new year (and a new decade), so that means it's time for a new Lavinia World Challenges #17.

The theme is always Anything Goes using a stamped image (no digis please).  Of course, if you use a Lavinia stamp, you get bonus points 😂. You can enter our challenge either through our Challenge Blog, or through our Anything Lavinia Facebook Group.  We'd love to have you join us in both places!  The winner of the challenge wins a $15 gift code to go shopping at Lavinia World.

For my project I created this large scene using the following stamps:

Whimsical Whisps (small)

Tree Root

Mooch

Quirky Mushrooms

Aerial (large)

Group of Hearts-Miniature

I started out by using a stamp positioning tool and laying the clear stamps onto white cardstock.  Next I stamped each image using either VersaFine Claire or a combination of VersFine Claire and Distress Markers in order to achieve multiple colors.  (It's hard to tell in the photo, but Aerial actually has greens, blues, reds, brown, and yellows all stamped at one time.) Next I cleaned off the stamp, leaving it where it was, and then stamped with VersaMark.  Then each stamp was heat set with clear embossing powder.

I laid out the clear stamps where I wanted them and then used a combination of Distress Markers and VersaFine Clair inks to get multiple colors on the various images.  I also heat set the stamped images with clear embossing powder.

Once the scene was completed, I created the background with Distress Oxides (Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire, Gathered Twigs, Ground Expresso).  Since each image was heat embossed with Clear embossing powder, none of the background ink interfered with the image.

Sparkle was added along the edges using double sided adhesive tape and glitter.  The glitter decided to stick to a lot of the heat embossed areas too (and wouldn't brush off), so my scene had even more fairy dust than originally anticipated 😂.

To finish off the project, I added a "frame" created with an old Spellbinders border die (Grand 12" Big Scalloped Border) and I cut it to fit.
