Fairy Toadstool

Good morning everyone, 

Another sunny morning here. 

I hope the sun warms your heart and makes you smile. 

Today I have a sample to share with you that I have created for the Lavinia shows that are coming up 

this Friday, on the Craft Store ( the old Hochanda ) 

As Mandy and myself are unable to do the shows Leonie has stepped in. 

I must admit that I love the new Fairy Toadstool stamp, I can see that I will be using this a lot. 

Also the new Orchard grass which is a smaller version of the Field grass, and you know how much I use that stamp. 

I started by using a stencil on my gel press. 

I added more ink 

Look at the fabulous print 

And this was my cleaning the stencil print. 

I will definitely be using this one too. 

I then added some stamping using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. 

I stamped my focal point. 

Then added more stamping to build up my scene. 

I blended more ink around the edges and added some water flicks. 

I just love this type of frame 

Next I added colour, this really brings the toadstool to life. 

I use a Clean Colour pen to add some shade and chalk pastel pencils for the highlights. 

And Posca pens to add more detail. 

Finally some matting and layering 

I can see these two new stamps literally flying off the shelves. 

I hope you have a lovely day , 

Whatever you are doing.

Take care 

Much love and hugs
