Dragon Castle

 


Hi everyone, I decided to have a play with some of my Lavinia stamps that have been collected over the years! I've not used this castle, tree or dragon before and there are so many more
 that I need to actually use!

I used some torn paper to stencil the hills and a moon mask layered stencil.
The sky is a mix of stormy cloud, chipped sapphire and dusty concord distress inks and the ground is pumicestone and forest moss.

The trees are part of a much larger stamp but I just wanted the tops to show to create some depth. I used some gel pens to add colour to the windows.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

A great use of your Lavinia stamps. It's nice to get to ink up some new stamps especially if they have been in your stash unused for a while. Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM

At first glance almost mistook your birthday card as a Halloween card. Therefore, needless to say this birthdays card is spooktacular!
