Background of Words
First find an old dictionary or book you don’t mind tearing a page or two out of. Using a straight edge cut the page out of the book.
Using Lavinia Stamps Buds Stencil I stenciled the dictionary page with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.
I stamped Lavinia Stamps Harrieta’s House with Versa Fine Clair Nocturne. I stamp using a stamping platform The Misti. Using The Misti allows you to get a clear sharp image. I use an eraser to rub the door of The Misti applying even pressure.
I stamped Lavinia Stamps Fern Branch using Gina K Designs Chocolate Truffle Amalgam Ink around the sides.
Using a piece of torn card stock I grounded the house using different shades of green and a brown Tim Holtz Distress Oxide and a soft brush.
I stamped Lavinia Stamps Inspire Me using Versa Fine Clair Rain Forest.
Finally I stamped Lavinia Stamps Zen Tree only using the top part of the tree making it look like a bush instead of a tree. After I finished stamping I filled in colors with colored pencils.
