Hello crafters,
Today we have a new theme for our Allsorts challenge, "Shades of Blue", chosen by Liz. You can also enter with the Anything Goes option. up to 5 times! My inspiration make is this tag all in blue bar the matt:
I did all my stamping first, using different colours of Versafine ink.
Stamps are all Lavinia:
Oak Leaf Flourish (LAV760)
Fantasea (LAV721)
Bulrushes (LAV003)
Forest Moss (LAV857)
I then created the background, also with Versafine Clair inks using a smoothie. The moon (a simple circle) and the boat were masked to preserve the lightness.
I added a few strokes of pastel pencils to anchor the bulrushes and represents ripples in the water.
The base and the black mat were die-cut with the #27 Tag It Yourself die set by AALL & Create

ReplyDeleteYour Shades of Blue tag is a stunning creation. The combination of Lavinia stamps and Versafine Clair inks brings out such depth and vibrancy in the scene. I especially love how you’ve captured the serene moonlit setting, and the addition of pastel pencil strokes adds a perfect finishing touch.
