Vera Lane Studio - Toucan Do

Happy Saturday!

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

I've gone with a slimline card this week. I cut out a panel of card 3.5" x 8.5" and brayered on some Dina Wakley acrylic paint in Lemon and Ruby. I added some stamping using the numbers from the AALL & Create #338 Background Noise stamp set, using Versafine Clair Nocturne. I then added some splatters using red and white Posca Pens.

 Next I cut out the Slimline Cloud die in white card and adhered it to my background panel.

I then coloured the images with my copic markers and cut them out. I added the girl at the bottom and the toucans standing on the clouds. I finished it by adding the sentiment to the clouds.

I really love how this turned out.

Vera Lane Studio - Bug Me

Happy Saturday!

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

 

I decided the Bug Me set was perfect for using my little shaker jar dies from Lawn Fawn. I cut the bases from mixed media card. Three of them I used with Distress Oxides and the Grasshopper was coloured using Copics.

 The jar fronts were cut from white card apart from the Bee jar. I coloured them with copics and added white highlights to them all. I cut the jar lids and added some twine around them all. I then finished them with some little embellishments.

I added sequins and crushed crystals to three of them. The crushed crystals are supposed to represent ice in the jar. I then added the fronts on 3D foam pads

I coloured all the bugs with my Copics and adhered them to the acetate on the front of the jars.

I love this cute little shaker set of bugs!

Vera Lane Studio - Elodie

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring an older release called Elodie which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

I made a postcard this week. I scored my card lengthways every ½ inch. Once I had done that I ran the Grey watercolour brush marker down the score lines and softened it with my waterbrush. I also scribbled some of the grey onto my glass mat and spritzed with water. I used this to wash over the panels in between. I then stamped one of the text stamps from the AALL & Create #338 Background Noise stamp set on each side using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Next I added some paint splatters in green and blue using my Posca pens. To finish off the background I doodled some scallops with my black fineliner on the patterned paper and cut them out. I then adhered them to the top and bottom of the postcard and doodled all around the edge.

 

 

I coloured the image with my Copic markers and paper pieced her dress in the same patterned paper as the scallops.I added some highlights using my white gel pen. I then adhered her to the postcard. I finished it with the sentiment which I doodled round with my black fineliner. This must be one of my favourite colour combos!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

 Saturday and time for another  

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

Masculine 

To make the background I spritzed water on some Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch. I smooshed my card in each colour individually making sure it was dry between each colour. I did this until I was happy with the look. I then stamped the music section from the main stamp (AALL & Create Vocalist) in Versafine Clair Nocturne black. I also used part of the Splodge stamp and stamped it in black. I then used the Reverse Stars stamp and stamped it in Blueprint Sketch randomly over the background.

Next I took the main panel and did the same only this time I didn't use the music section but used the Scripted Stars instead. I also inked around the edge with Blueprint Sketch to make it stand out more. I then stamped the whole Vocalist stamp in the middle using Versafine Clair Nocturne. I took my blue watercolour brush marker and coloured the guitar and cassette tape pulling the colour out. To finish the panel I splattered some Molotow white acrylic paint over it.

I cut out the Whimsy Happy die in black card and cut the Birthday on my ScanNCut. I adhered them in place. To finish off I added the sentiment and name using a mini alphabet.

Crafts Galore Encore June Challenge

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

For June it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Fred She Said and the prize is a $10 gift voucher.

I decided to make a tag this month as my DT project. I used the Creative Expressions Sam Poole Tattered Tags and cut out the tag in kraft card and Nitwit Collections patterned paper. I added a strip of hessian near the bottom of the tag and adhered a button to it. I then printed and coloured this sweet image called Nolan And The Bullfrog with my copic markers. I added some highlights with my white gel pen. I then fussy cut out the image and adhered him on the hessian.

Next I cut out the Whimsy stamps Awesome sentiment in green card and added it to the left side of the tag. I cut some lengths of ribbon and twine and added them to the hole at the top of the tag. To finish off I added a frog brad.
