Lavinia Stamps Valentine ATC

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!! 
It’s time for a new Lavinia World Challenge featuring Lavinia stamps.
          We are a bi-weekly Challenge Blog and the theme will be Anything Goes using stamps
(either rubber or clear, but no digi stamps). 
                               Details are found under the "rules" tab on the Challenge Blog.

NEWS FLASH...
Beginning with Lavinia Challenge #14, 
our NEW Anything Lavinia Facebook group (click here) 
is also a place where you may post your cards/projects 
to enter our Lavinia World Challenges. 
Your projects are anything goes if added to the Challenge Blog,  
however your card/project must include anything Lavinia (stamps, papers)
if added to the Anything Lavinia Facebook group. 


For my project, I used
The stamps were all stamped with VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist

Really fun ATC (Artist Trading Card) project.  What i did:
Using Digital paper, i resized it to ATC size 2.5" x 3.5".
Digital Paper allows you to change the scale and 
to crop what part of the paper you want to use.
I printed and cut out the paper, then i stamped Harietta with VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist
using my Misti platform.  Immediately, i used clear embossing powder so that i could
stamp and ink on top of Harietta.  (you can wipe off the ink from the embossed image)
I ripped a strip of paper and used that for inking the background (cloud/mountain look).
Using Tim Holtz Oxide Candied Apple ink, as water color,
 i painted in the "heart shape" Chinese lantern.
Next i stamped the Background Sentiment.
Using Tim Holtz Oxide ink (Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire), i distressed the edges.
I added a black backing to frame out the ATC.
To make the "Love" swing arm, i cut out a Love die from Papertrey Ink and used the negative cut out.
I added vellum to the back of the cut out.

To put it all together, i pulled out a heart brad and hole punched the top left corner so that the Love would swing upwards slightly above the ATC.

Mini album - Altered Book

Working on a big project - Next blog posts will be the pages.
I picked up a hardback book at a charity shop.
I was looking for a book where the binding was attached to the cover.
Once i got it home, i cut out the pages, ending up with just the cover.
Based on the book cover i proceeded to make a new cover.
Once the cover was covered in a black background i worked on 
decorating some We Are 3 Digital Paper - Tones of Gray.
The first thing i did was ink the edges using Catherine pooler ink called, Aquatini.
Then i used a Studio Light Mask /Stencil and some Nuvo Glacier Paste - Sea Sprite.
This was the base for my cover. 

Now for the fun part..
Once the base for the cover was done, i decided to use a Prima Resin Frame 
and paint it in Black Gesso.  Then i highlighted it with some of the Glacier Paste - Sea Sprite. (beautiful shimmer)
To pick up the color more i used Art Alchemy Wax - Opal Magic Turquoise. 
To highlight the frame in gold i used - Art Alchemy - Firebird (gold)
I used two pieces of wood (house, door, windows and a tree) from Studio Light - Plywood Kit
I painted those pieces with black gesso and high lighted the house and tree with the same waxes and Glacier paint. I left the window and door black.
I added a brad to the door for a handle and a brad to the circle window on top.
I needed a bit of corrugated cardboard behind the house to make it level with the frame.
Next i used some flowers from 7 Kids and painted them with black gesso and waxed them with the gold wax. I did the same for the "Dream" wood cut out.  I did break the letters between the "e" and "a" so i could curve around the frame. 
I used a Mitform Star and painted it with black gesso and used the Turquoise wax to highlight it.
I pulled out a Tim Holtz metal sentiment, brad and arrow.  I had some flower stamens in my stash and placed those around the flowers and house. 
Everything was glued down with Aleene's Tacky glue.
 
 
 Here is the finished cover
