Vera Lane Studio - Parrot Love

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring Parrot Love which is available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop.

I used my Gelli plate to make my background. It was inspired by a Tracy Evans Facebook Live I watched to create the 4 quarters.

I added red acrylic paint to one quarter of the gelli plate and brayered it. I then put the stencil on top and patted down with scrap paper to remove excess paint. I did the same with each quarter alternating between the red and the Paperartsy Fresco Double Denim blue paint. I then lifted the print using Paperartsy Fresco Honeydew.

I random stamped the AALL and Create #262 Mesh stamp using Candied Apple Distress Oxide, and then #304 Heartfelt using Versafine Clair Paradise. I then splattered some Molotow white acrylic paint over it all and finished off by dabbing some Paperartsy Fresco Snowflake white paint around the edges.

Next I coloured my images with my copic markers adding some white highlights with my gel pen. I added some AALL and Create plain washi tape under where I wanted the branches to go and stamped with the #304 heartfelt stamp again. I adhered the branches and drew a line between them for one of the parrots to perch on. I then added the other parrots. I used another piece of plain washi tape I'd stamped on and added the girl and her parrot to this.

I finished off by adding the sentiment from the stamp set.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 Saturday and time for another 

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 Spots Or Stripes

I've made another slimline card using another elf!

 

This elf digi I bought way back in 2012 when Birdie Brown had a digi stamp shop on Etsy. I coloured him with my Copic markers.

I made my slimline card blank using green card and added a panel of red and white stripey paper. I cut a panel of white card and adhered my elf to it.

I then doodled around the edge with my black fineliner.

Next I cut the sentiment die in green card and added it.

To finish off I added some pearls.

I love this image so much.

Vera Lane Studio - A Very Vera Lane Holiday

I'm sharing my second Vera Lane Studio DT project today featuring  A Very Vera Lane Holiday bundle which is available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop. It's fantastic value for money as there are 12 digis in the set including lots of holiday sentiments.

 I started with a circle of kraft card which is perfect gingerbread cookie colour. I stamped the circles from Janet's AALL And Create #338 Background Noise stamp set in Vintage Photo Distress Oxide all over the circle. I then used one of the circles in Janet's AALL And Create #96 Dandelion Field stencil and coloured through it with Festive Berries and Twisted Citron Distress Crayons randomly over the base. I then ran around the circle with my white gel pen a few times to give a thicker (icing) line. To finish off the base I added some white paint splatters using my Molotow white acrylic paint pen.

I then coloured the gingerbread man and woman from the set with my copic markers. I also coloured one of the hats from the Boutique Hats collection set and added it to the gingerbread man. 

I printed out one of the sentiments from the set twice. One with a green background and one with a red background and cut them out.

To finish off I added a bow made of baker's twine.

Vera Lane Studio - Just Jump

 Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring Just Jump which is available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop.

There are two versions of the girl in the set. One with a plain suit and one with plaid. Being Scottish I had to use the plaid version and make it tartan. I coloured her with copic markers and made her suit green and purple. I then added some white stripes using my white gel pen to give it a more tartan look. I also gave her red curly hair. Another Scottish stereotype...lol.

I cut out the tag using my MFT tag dies. I spritzed some Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides on my glass mat and smooshed the top half of the tag in it. I then did the same with Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover and Rustic Wilderness on the bottom half of the tag this time.

 I then stamped the circles from AALL And Create #338 Background Noise in Rustic Wilderness at the bottom and Blueprint Sketch at the top. I also stamped the AALL And Create #434 Newsprint Numbers in the same colours top and bottom. I then used one of the scripts from Background Noise and stamped it in Versafine Clair Nocturne around the edges. I stamped the clouds from the AALL And Create #257 Lil'Magic stamp set and added to the sky.

To finish off I added the sentiment from the set.

Vera Lane Studio - Winter To Spring

 Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring Winter to Spring which is available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop. 

There are  7 digis in the set and I decided to use the Winter set for my card. I coloured the girl and the trees using my Copic markers and cut them out. I also printed out the sentiment, cut it out and inked it.

For my background I spritzed some Frayed Burlap and Speckled Egg Distress Oxides on my glass mat and smooshed my card in it. Once it was dry I added some Glitter Snow Paste using a spatula to create the snow at the bottom. I then used  Janet's AALL and Create Stencil #96 Dandelion Field and spread the paste carefully through some of the circles to create the snow over the rest of the card. It picked up some of the Frayed Burlap colour from below but I like the aged look it gave.

I then stamped the Merry Christmas from Janet's AALL And Create #413 Merry And Bright stamp set over the background in Frayed Burlap and also #383 Scripted Hexagons by Bipasha BK. I added the sentiment to finish it off.

Use Your Favourite Stamp

 

I don't have one single favourite stamp. I've got too many favourites. So I decided to go with my favourite of the moment which is this adorable little elf  called Buttons Elf from Sweet November Stamps. Isn't he just so sweet with his little teddy bear?

I coloured him with my copic markers and cut him out along with the candy canes. I used the Whimsy slimline scenic window die and cut it out in white card. I stuck it to my base card which I'd matted with a candy cane stripe paper.

I then added Buttons and the candy canes in their respective windows. I stamped the Elf & Safety sentiment and added it it to the top window.

I finished off with some flat back pearls.

Definitely a favourite!

Vera Lane Studio - Merry

I'm so excited to be sharing my first official post as a member of the Vera Lane Studio DT. 

I've made this postcard using the cute set called Merry which is available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop. 

I splattered some Paperartsy Fresco Snowflake white paint on my gelli plate and then applied a coat of Ice Blue. I then stamped on it using AALL and Create Background Noise #338 by Janet. I then lifted the print using more Snowflake.

 Once it was dry I printed the sheet music lightly in one corner. (It's Frosty The Snowman!)

Next I stamped the background with AALL and Create sets #339 Framework Elements, #304 Heartfelt and #352 Circled Numbers all by Tracy Evans.

I coloured the images with my Copic Markers and adhered them to the postcard, adding some AALL and Create Plain Washi tape below them.

To finish off I added some clear Wink Of Stella to the images to add some sparkle.
