I know it's going back awhile but that is a lovely card... love your colours and the Oxide inks are perfect for this project... thank you for showing us how... :)
Really beautiful. Ive beem crafting for years but just got some lavinia stamps and have discovered the wonderful world of inks. Thank you for sharing. I love this. Just subscribed 👍
Hi, I felt in love with this card and I already try out this on my own (but with different inks and stamps, because I do not have same as you) and it came out nice (but your is much nicer :-) ). Thank you for sharing your Ideas. Have a nice day.
Absolutely stunning! So beautiful and you made it look so easy to do. I love how you kept taking it a step higher than higher than higher yet! And your finished piece was fierce, not too little and not too much. I am not an artist, not even close, but I’m definitely going to try this when my fairies, greenery, small animals and so forth arrive in the post. Super excited! I wish there was more when it came to dragons and wizards, but I will take what I can get from Lativa, and who knows, maybe one day you and others will be creating masterpieces with my stamps and dies. Too funny. It’s funny because I’ve probably have only stamped around twenty pieces if that, and I’m already making myself queen or some such thing. Anyways, I would just like to send you a very warm thank you for sharing your techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this gorgeous card. I know the recipient no matter who they may be, will be ever so lucky. Be well and stay smiling 🎈
Hi from Winnipeg Sandi! Beautiful card and really helpful tutorial. I just discovered Lavinia stamps and have five. I made my first card with them today, but need to play more. I can see that I need/want more of these stamps! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
I love this! I picked up a lot of tips. I especially like the white dots.. more control than a splatter which I haven’t perfected. Thanks for sharing !
Absolutely beautiful!! The colors look great together...thanks fir sharing colors used so we may try that color combo. I have alot of lavinia stamps on list for xmas so i may focus on oxide backgrounds! This video was very good for us beginners. Thx so much!!!
Gorgeous card. I haven't purchased any Lavinia because I wasn't sure I'd use them... I make many cards for church. I think I'll get the one you've used though, as they'll coordinate with some other sets I have, and I do have some friends who would like the fairies.
thank you Tania, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the card. there are a few fairies in the selection, I'm working on getting them too, LOL...and I agree, I have some friends who just love fairies and these cards are winging their way to them.
Hi Sandi, Love your card and your video which explains everything you did. I am working with Lavinia stamps and enjoy doing the backgrounds. Thanks for all your tips.
Sandy, what a sweet care, love, love, love it. Can't wait to make one although I am using other products than what you used. Thanks for sharing your amazing creative talent. Blessings from Canada!
Oh Sandy this is so up my alley as I am in love with Lavinia stamps. Your card is beyond beautiful and I definitely plan on casing/reproducing it for my collection. Thanks so much for sharing, you are very talented :)
Hi Sandi, I agree with the previous persons (Karen). I have just brought a couple of these stamps and I love them,I all so loved the one`s you did with the alcohol back grounds, keep up the good work. Hells from down under
This is so pretty and you were so patient. You mentioned that fingerprints get on the background. How do you prevent that from happening when you give the card or put the card together - I missed it, if you explained.
thank you Jane. You can blend like me, this ink makes it very easy. I find if you don't push hard and let the foam do the work, I get better results, but it does take a little practice
May I ask is there a way to use a gold frame but not the whole piece of gold - guess I’m bit frugal, but seems such a waste of the gold? Loved your creations, thank you.
Yes, I cut lots of my images out of the inside of the frame before adhering it together, you can also use two rectangle dies, and just cut a frame and keep the entire inside
So very pretty, Sandi. I must check out these stamps. How does Neenah compare to SU Whisper White? (I have the latter but always wondered about Neenah.) I have had the blob problem before as well!
Thank you, so glad you liked it. the Neenah cardstock seems to hold the ink a bit better than S.U. Whisper White, I have both, so have been doing some experimenting. Yep, squeeze that pen just a little too hard and glitter everywhere, haha
Just saw this post and your card is awesome! I love the oxide inks and have used on cardstock for bible journaling. Recently wanted to expand to larger journals but oxides do not go on nearly as nice, but very blotchy. Do you only use them on cardstock material? I ask because you blend them so beautifully! Thx!
thank you Karen, I have used them on many surfaces. If you get a blotchy surface, just keep blending. I tap my sponge on scrap paper after I ink it and before I touch it to my art piece, to try and eliminate that "fresh ink blotch".
Bonjour et félicitations pour votre carte. Elle est magnifique et cela parait si simple quand vous le faites. Faut-il un papier particulier pour le mélange des encres oxyde. Merci pour votre réponse et continuez à faire des merveilles. A bientôt Cordialement Marie-Annick
Hi Sandi, greetings from Edmonton. I was just wondering if the issue with fingerprints in the ink continues after heat setting. Will the card recipient not be able to touch the card without smearing the ink?
I had to save your beautiful card!! I love these stamps! You might already know by now but her first name is pronounced la vin e a.....this is tracy duttons first name....i think..i happened to find a store in the usa in kentucky that carries her line....but arent you in canada?!

thank you Wendy
I love this! I picked up a lot of tips. I especially like the white dots.. more control than a splatter which I haven’t perfected. Thanks for sharing !
Thank you Susie, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and yes, a white gel pen is great for "controlled splatter" haha
Amazing video....especially for those of us who are challenged when creating a scene.! Thank you..

This is so pretty and you were so patient. You mentioned that fingerprints get on the background. How do you prevent that from happening when you give the card or put the card together - I missed it, if you explained.
Hi Lynda, once the ink is dry it's not an issue, I usually heat dry mine with my heat tool
Beautiful! I really like the lightness of your card. You’re a very good, clear instructor.
aw, thank you Di, and thank you so much for watching
This card is stunning! 😍😍 thank you for sharing.
aw, thank you Betty, I appreciate that very much
Lovely card, Sandi! Wish I could blend ink as well as you do!
thank you Jane. You can blend like me, this ink makes it very easy. I find if you don't push hard and let the foam do the work, I get better results, but it does take a little practice
May I ask is there a way to use a gold frame but not the whole piece of gold - guess I’m bit frugal, but seems such a waste of the gold? Loved your creations, thank you.

Saaaaawwwweeeeeet! Love this card!

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. xo
Hi Donna, thank you and thanks for watching
Does heat setting the distress oxide stop if from smudging later when finished? Lovely card
it has for me Dianne
Beautiful! I will try this, this weekend!
So very pretty, Sandi. I must check out these stamps. How does Neenah compare to SU Whisper White? (I have the latter but always wondered about Neenah.) I have had the blob problem before as well!
Thank you, so glad you liked it. the Neenah cardstock seems to hold the ink a bit better than S.U. Whisper White, I have both, so have been doing some experimenting. Yep, squeeze that pen just a little too hard and glitter everywhere, haha
P.S. Thanks for the free PDF!
You are so very welcome, have fun creating the card
Lovely

Hi Sandi, greetings from Edmonton. I was just wondering if the issue with fingerprints in the ink continues after heat setting. Will the card recipient not be able to touch the card without smearing the ink?
Hi Liz, no once you heat set it, it's fine
love it
aw, thank you Jessica
New subbie here...love the Oxides and appreciate this tutorial! Your card is so pretty. ~Jeanne
thanks so much Jeanne, and thanks for subbing.
Gorgeous, Sandi. Can we use Memento ink over a Distress Oxide background?
thank you Sue, yes you can use Memento, as long as your Distress Oxide ink is super dry. Heat set it really well first.
@@SandiMacIver Thanks, Sandi! Which ink do YOU normally use to stamp images over a DO background?
@@stampinsueduffy Hi Sue, it depends on what else I'm going to use with it. anything that is going to get wet, I use VersaFine Onyx black,
I need to know more about stamping
I had to save your beautiful card!! I love these stamps! You might already know by now but her first name is pronounced la vin e a.....this is tracy duttons first name....i think..i happened to find a store in the usa in kentucky that carries her line....but arent you in canada?! I really enjoy watching your tutorials! Stay safe!!
