Lavinia Stamps Challenge 1 - Anything goes



Hi Happy New Year to everyone.
This is my entry for the first Lavinia Stamps challenge for 2015.
I started with a piece of smooth white stamping card on which I  played with some yellow and red Brusho ink powders and spritzed them to create the background.  When this was dry I drew around the outline of a film strip stencil and coloured the outside edge with a black promarker.
So I could stamp the Sycamore fairy inside the film strip I masked off all the outside edges then stamped the fairy and seed as if I had caught them on film falling through the air. I added Glamour dust to the fairy wings.
To make the card I used an A4 piece of white Centura Pearl card scored in half, planning to attach the film strip on an angle.  Before attaching the strip I used the miniature leaves to add an autumn feel background stamping them randomly using Big and Juicy Mountain Meadow and Adirondack Lettuce.
I attached the film strip using sticky pads to give it some relief and then used a micron pen to write "I believe in fairies along the side."

Hope you like my card and thank you for looking.

    This is just lovely! I really like the idea of the film-strip - it gives a real sense of movement. Thanks for sharing - hope you don't mind if I take inspiration from this and have a go myself!

    This is lovely. Your words along the side of the film strip finish this piece perfectly. Great work.
