Thank you for such a wonderful video Jo. Its such a pleasure to watch you create your beautiful scenes. I couldn't choose which version I like better because they're both stunning ❤️
Loved watching your video Jo. So many wonderful ideas that add something special to your already beautiful artworks. I've had some Inktense pencils sitting in the drawer for ages but have been too chicken to try them. After watching you bring your little butterflies to life, I think I'm ready to give them a go too. Can't wait to watch your other videos 😍
I could not see how this stencil would work. Thought it would just overwhelm. You have completely changed my mind and it is now on my wish list once our lockdown lifts. I love the old “book plate” look of this card it makes me crazy happy. A stained tool tells me that the tool “works” well. It shows the crafter/artist has used it often and therefore was worth having near to hand. I see stains as a mark of a good quality tool. A stain does not interfere with function. Not the same as mistreated or dirty (which does interfere with function). My few items are precious, so they are stained, but not dirty. Far too loved and hard earned to be carelessly treated. Great tutorial and great way to have backgrounds on hand. Thank you again.
Thank you for this Jo. Just gorgeous. It reminds me of an old church stained glass window for some reason, don’t know why. And I do love those flowers. The example you made in the tutorial is my fave maybe because I love green. I am a bit put off by all the steps with the word stamp and stencil on the gel press then a moon mask but the end result does make up for it; not a mass production card eh? I do think of all the teachers online you have the prettiest hands. So graceful. Love and hugs from Florida where it’s always sunny.
Thank you so much Jo, you are without a doubt one of the most loveliest crafters I’ve ever been fortunate to watch. Your worth your weight in gold. I really really love ❤️ this card front, and I really really enjoyed watching you create this. I really believe that the one you created today, is the best, although I wouldn’t be unhappy to have either one. I really really love ❤️ that your so down to earth too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Your cards are ALWAYS so lovely!!! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos & thank you for making us always feel like you’re talking to us as friends!!! Stay well & blessings!!!
I'm so glad I ran across this card Jo. I was wondering about using versafine clair on the gel plate and now I know. Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial ❤
Beaut!! Jo, when I first had seen this, i didnt think it was something I'd want to replicate. Today, its such a different story. (Of course, now I have more tools and supplies to make it happen!)😮
Stunning, stunning creation Jo. I love your stencilled background and your butterflies. Your butterflies pop with their yellow colour and shadowing. I prefer the one you have just demoed as the red wild flowers stand out more plus you've included the green (that's my preference), but they are both beautiful. Wow, must give this a go! Thank you so much for sharing Jo as I just love watching your videos and the different techniques you share with us. xxx ❤️❤️❤️ Oh, and I wish I had your hands and nails! :-)
I have stamped for about 35 years or so, never bothered me if they were stained or any other thing I use. Just shows they are well loved. I think your nails are very nice just the way they are. Very nice card.
Lovely, lovely card! Great techniques which I’m going to try. It almost look like an old book plate card or something vintage. I just love it. And your nails look fabulous!
Wow! Stunning, vintage look. The second card is more vibrant but they are equally beautiful. Yes I do do a running commentary while I craft and I do talk back to you too lol. Love and hugs to you too. x
Love them both Jo but I think I prefer the one you’ve just made. Brighter for your Spring . The other is subdued colours ,still great. We’re heading into Autumn so golds, rusts, greens, oranges, all the colours of autumn, in Melbourne AUS. Thank you Jo. I do chat to you too take care. Stay well.
Absolutely beautiful, I'm learning so much from your videos and I'm so grateful to you for sharing your wonderful talent. Hope your throat is well and not causing you any distress? Hugs from Ireland xx
Absolutely gorgeous. Never would have thought those colors would go together, but they are beautiful. Loved the background and the insert paper too! Thanks Jo!!!
Such a beautiful card Jo, love the colours you have used. Thanks for sharing your tips & tricks, they really do help. Take care and stay safe, big hugs ♥️
Love to you Jo. A stunner again as usual. You describing the upcoming Spring makes me envious. I live in the Arizona desert in the US. Not much to get excited about for spring flowers and such. I do plant local things but it’s just not like what you have in England. Love and Hugs!! Stay Safe!
Thank you for this and all your tutorials. I learn so much from watching them and there is the added bonus of your lovely, soothing voice.You seem so kind and caring, I'll bet your circle of friends simply adore you. xoxo
Love this card today!! So much brighter than your original which is wonderful as well. TYFS. Going to have to get the gel plate out now and give this a go. Stay safe. 😃
Really lovely. Wouldn’t of thought to use versafine ink on my geli press. Love the insert idea as well. Thank you jo. I must admit I do chat back to you 2 😆. x
Another beautiful design Jo, I'm still quite new to crafting and have been trying to get more confidence using the brayer and gel press. This is wonderful inspiration, thank you, I so look forward to your tutorials.
You probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Rory Keanu thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Jo beautiful background, I’m going to try . I stamp on the side as well . Your nails look beautiful. I find I use my water color pencils as well with certain stamps. The finished card is gorgeous . Thanks so much for sharing.
Very nice tutorial! Iam new to using the Lavinia stamps and I am so happy to find you. It’s actually very therapeutic to watch you and listen to your voice. Thanks and God bless you.
I've been watching you a while now and I haven't made any comments. You're so proper and polite, it's adorable. I just love this technique so I had to tell you that too! 👍☺️
First I got to say I just love your accent! There was a zoo show that I watched that was somewhere in England I forget now. But I don't think it was in London. Anyway one of the keepers had your same accent but I can't recall where she was from. Anyways these are both so beautiful but I think I'm also partial to the one on the left. They both have depth but I think the one on the left has more and I think some of it's coming from some of the wider spaces on the stencil being more filled in with the red. Especially on the right side a little bit around that butterfly on the right. I need to get my gel plate out and play with it. I know you don't know me so I hope you won't think I'm interfering but I'm concerned when you said that the nail polish remover has begun hurting your lungs from the fumes. If this is something new if you haven't already I would definitely urge you to maybe see a doctor about it. It may be absolutely nothing, but if it's a new development it might be a good idea to have it checked out, especially with the bit of hoarseness you appear to have. I've only seen a few of your videos so far but I love your videos and the art that you make!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment , it is lovely to chat with you (virtually ) I am so pleased that you are watching my little videos. Thanks also for your concern about my chest, my gp thinks it is long Covid, and I don’t mind you mentioning it at all, I am originally from the Lake District but now live in Cheshire..xx😀
I haven’t got a gel plate, can anything else be used In it’s place. Your nails are lovely, and clean which is most important, don’t worry about no nail polish xxxxx
Jacqui lovely to hear from you, you can use inks brushed through the stencil, but the gel press will give the print type of effect. As far as I know only the gel press gives this type of effect...xx
Just love this card Jo. Actually I love them all. 👏👏👏
I love this card, especially the background. Just got some Versafine Clair inks so I might have a go and try this. 😇💖🙏🙌
Thank you for such a wonderful video Jo. Its such a pleasure to watch you create your beautiful scenes. I couldn't choose which version I like better because they're both stunning ❤️
Thanks so much for watching xx🧡
Beautiful card, love butterflies , all cards need a butterfly, Thanks a bunch, x Elizabeth Quinn
Loved watching your video Jo. So many wonderful ideas that add something special to your already beautiful artworks.

Can't wait to watch your other videos 😍
Kelli, thanks so much for watching , and I really hope you get your pencils out and have a play. I absolutely love using mine xx❤️
Wow, Beautiful stencil painting. Well done. Keep in touch.

Ha..I just noticed there are black splatter marks on the beige wall behind my desk. Ooops!
Where do you get the words that you use on your art?
Hi Denise, thanks so much for watching and the sentiments on this design are from Lavinia Stamps xx
Hi Jo. What other ink can we use. Thanks a lot
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Awesome! What is the brand name of your pastel pencils? Thank you so much. 💕
