Another Secret Garden

I think the "Secret Garden" from Lavinia Stamps is my favourite stamp of the moment. Anything could be behind that gate! It's full of dreams and possibilities.

For this card I left out the fairy and used part of "Tree Trunk Trio" from Stampscapes on the left hand side. The trunks didn't reach the top of the picture, so I extended them with a black fine tip drawing pen. The leaves and other foliage stamps, and the toadstools are all Lavinia's. I used watercolour pencils to shade in the gateway and the background. It's probably a bit hard to see them in the photo (though they show up better if you click on it to see the big picture), but there's a Stampscapes deer and fir trees behind the gate.

And who knows what else you might find if you could enter therein......

  3. Oh this is gorgeous Lynne. I bought my first Lavinia stamps from the stand at Harrogate a couple of weeks ago. I set my heart on them after seeing your lovely cards using them in previous posts.

    Only problem now is, we have visitors for a few more weeks yet so I'm getting no crafting time, Boo Hoo!

    Still, you're giving me inspiration for when I can get my goodies out.
