Vera Lane Studio - Create

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a postcard featuring the new release this week called  Create which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

 I started by stamping the Splodge stamp from AALL & Create randomly over my postcard using Distress Oxides In Squeezed Lemonade, Festive Berries and Lucky Clover. I used the Alphabet Splatters stamp next and picked out and inked up the words Draw, Create, and Paint and stamped them onto the background in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

I then printed out my images and coloured  them with my copic markers adding highlights with my white gel pen. I then cropped the image down until it was just his shirt and printed it again. I then used the Splodge stamp and stamped the shirt with the same three oxide colours. . I then fussy cut it out and paper pieced it onto the main image.

 

 

 I then added some of the #5 Artsy washi tape using the words MAKE and ART from it. I adhered my image above the ART piece. I then adhered the three tubes of paint next to him. I doodled around the sentiment with my black fineliner and added it. Finally I doodled around the edge of the postcard with the fineliner.

I just love his funky paint splattered shirt!

Vera Lane Studio - Marine Mammals

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an 8 inch double journal spread featuring the soft release this week called Marine Mammals which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

I decided to make the pages look like an aquarium.

I started by adding some Paperartsy Ice Blue acrylic paint to the pages using a baby wipe. I then added the Sky to the bottom half of the page and blended until I got the look I wanted. I then used the AALL & Create #87 Totally Dotty stencil and dabbed some Tumbled Glass distress oxide though it until I got the background bubble look I wanted. Next I used two different sized pen lids and dipped them in Snowflake white paint and stamped them randomly over the pages to look like more bubbles. I added some white gel pen highlights to them and not forgetting some white paint splats.

 I then cut 4 strips of the Stamperia wood effect paper to size and blended some Vintage Photo distress oxide over them to age them a bit. I then glued them in place with gel medium. After that I added a thick layer of gel medium along the bottom of the aquarium and added some decorative sand.

Next I moved onto the printing and colouring of the images I wanted to use. I used the whale and narwhal from the Marine Mammals set, seaweed from the Mermen and Under The Sea sets, purple fish from Sakana, other fish and seashell from Ocean's 11. I coloured them with my copic markers and cut them out. Next I adhered them to my pages using gel medium. I printed out the sentiment from the Marine Mammals set and also decided to give the aquarium a name so went for OddysSea. Some black fineliner around the sentiments and a pearl to the large seashell and it was finished. 

I was really pleased with how it turned out!

Vera Lane Studio - Jardin

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a 5½ inch double journal spread featuring Jardin which is available from the Etsy shop. I also used an older set called Circles And Stems.

 I started by  using the Cracked Wall 1 stencil and some light modelling paste on the left hand page. Once it was dry I went over it with some Antique Linen distress oxide with some spritzed water added. Next I went over the raised bricks lightly with some Vintage Photo DO.

I blended some Tumbled Glass DO over the top 2 thirds of the pages.I then cut a cloud stencil out of some acetate and inked over it with Salty Ocean DO, moving it down the page to where the ink stopped. Next I blended some Lucky Clover DO on the bottom third of the pages and stamped using one of the stamps from the Visual Ingredients stamp set to look like grass.

 I coloured the girl, seedlings,seed packets and gloves from the Jardin set with my copic markers and cut them out. I used a piece of green garden net and attached it to the wall and adhered the new seedlings at the bottom. I then added the girl to the right of it.

 I also printed out some of the circles and stems a few times, coloured them with my copics and decoupaged them to give some dimension.

I added the stems to make them look like trees. I adhered them on the right hand page and added the gloves and seed packets at the bottom.

To finish off I printed the sentiment, doodled around it with my black fineliner and added it to the pages.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 Saturday and time for another  

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

Something Not Usually Used For Crafting

 

I decided to use a 6" white circle cakeboard. I covered it with white card and trimmed it down. I then ran a black fineliner around the edge doodling a border.

Next I stamped the elephant in the bubble from the Tracey Hey Bubblicious set and coloured him with my copic markers and cut it out.

I adhered it to my circle in the bottom left corner. I then stamped one of the sentiments in the top right corner and finished it off with some bubble gems.

 

A really quick and easy card.

Vera Lane Studio - La Belle Vie

 

Happy Easter Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring La Belle Vie which is available from the Etsy shop.

 I've made a little plaque from lollipop sticks for my project today. I glued 7 together at the back using 2 smaller lollipop sticks, and gave it a light wash of white acrylic paint.

I took my Twisted Citron distress oxide spray and gave it a few bursts over the plaque. I then used AALL & Create #103 Pebble Pile stencil and sponged lightly through it with Rustic Wilderness distress oxide. I then stamped #471 Scripted Ovals and the numbers from #338 Background Noise randomly in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Then added some Violet and White paint splatters using my Posca pens.

Next I cut a strip of white corrugated card and coloured it with some green copics to represent grass and adhered it across the plaque near the bottom.

 I printed out the girl and multiples of her flowers and coloured them with my copics and cut them out. I added some white highlights with my gel pen.

I had some white mini fencing so cut it down and glued some of the flowers to the front of it. I then adhered it just above the grass on the right side. I then adhered the girl to the middle and the other flowers to the left. To finish off I doodled around the sentiment with my black fineliner and adhered it to the plaque.

Now just to display it in The Crafty Cabin!

Crafts Galore Encore April Challenge

As it's the first of the month, today I'm sharing my DT card for Crafts Galore Encore.   

For April it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Babycakes DND  and the prize is 2 digi stamps.

 I decided to go with a slimline card this month. I added some Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides to my glass mat and spritzed with water. I then smooshed my card panel in it until I got the desired effect. I then used a diamond stencil and applied Paperartsy Snowflake white paint to it. Using it as a stamp I pressed down over the inked area.

I then stamped one of the stamps from the AALL & Create set #453 Heart grunge in Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch randomly over the panel.Next I stamped using #304 Heartfelt using the Monarch ink.

 I moved on to stamping the large heart in the Heart Grunge set onto purple tartan paper and cut it out. I then adhered it to the card.

I printed out the gnome and paper pieced his hat and hearts with the purple tartan paper. I then coloured him with copics, adding shading to the paper pieced parts. I then added some highlights with my white gel pen.

I splattered some white paint over the panel using a white paint pen and adhered the gnome to it. I finished by stamping the LOVE sentiment from the Heart Grunge set and added it to the card.
