Magical Druids Inn {Lavinia World #43}

 

🎊 Happy New Year!! 🎊

Today is the beginning of a new Lavinia World Challenges #43. The winner will receive a $15 gift code to Lavinia World so you can get yourself a little something that might not have been included in your stocking this year.

For today's magical card, I used the following Lavinia stamps:

Druids Inn
Mystical Swirl
Fairy Hive Set
Chinese Lantern
Versafine Clair: Twilight, Chianti, Nocturne, Green Oasis, Verdant

I started out by creating my background using watercolor powders (Tonic Studios Shimmer Powder and Cosmic Shimmers Vintage Gold) on watercolor paper.  I kept playing around with it, adding multiple layers of color. I made sure to heat dry the paper between each layer as I didn't want a muddy mess. Once I was satisfied, I let it air dry overnight.

Then I began to create my scene, starting with the Druids Inn stamp.  Once I decided that would be the focal point, I kept looking at my stamps to decide what would go best with it. I stamped each stamp in a different color using the Versafine Clair ink pads and a stamp positioner. I let this air dry for a few hours and then came back and added even more color with markers.

I die cut my sentiment from a Pink & Main die set called Magical.  I thought it was appropriate since I love how the gold shimmer color looks like magic dust swirling all around the tree and the entrance to the inn.

My guess is that the fairies are getting ready to celebrate the new year by spreading around lots and lots of fairy dust.  😀
