Dreaming {Lavinia World #25}

Hey everyone, it's time for a new Lavinia World Challenges!  The theme is always anything goes using a stamped image and the winner of each challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to do some shopping at Lavinia World.  Today's project uses the following Lavinia stamps from Lavinia World:

Stones (Small)

Mini Orbs

Bubbles

Christopher Caterpillar

Pipin Miniature

Inspire Me

I started my project by die cutting a piece of white cardstock with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die (Tags and More 3 - Leaves).  I wanted to use a resist technique for the Orbs and Bubbles, so I stamped them with VersaMark and heat set with Clear embossing powder.  Next, I began adding color to the background using Distress Oxides and my blending brushes.  The inks resisted the embossing powder, leaving the orbs and bubbles with a white outline.

Once I was happy with the background, I began stamping the rest of my scene using VersaFine Clair inks. Nocturne was used for the animals and Morning Mist for the stones. 

I added a bits of color and shading with colored pencils to the Orbs and Bubbles. A white gel pen was used to add highlights to Pipin and Christopher.  Glossy Accents was added to all of the orbs and bubbles for added dimension and a glossy appearance.

The Dream sentiment was stamped onto vellum using Monarch VersaFine Clair ink and then heat set with Clear embossing powder. Next, I tore around the edges of my sentiment using my fingers. 

The leaves from the die cut are negative pieces.  I die cut these twice and adhered two on top of each other.  Then I inserted them back into the die cut for dimension.  Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers give them added sparkle.

The next layer was also created using various Distress Oxides.  This time, I stayed with the pinks and purples.   I added a spritz of water to distress it slightly. The final layer before the card base was die cut using a Tonic Studios die from pink cardstock.  Various sizes and colors of gems were randomly added for the finishing touch.
