Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

Saturday and time for another  

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

International Women’s Day

(Girly Creations but NO PINK!)

 

I've made an art journal page using Oddball Frida from Stamping Bella. I coloured her with my copic markers and cut her out. I created the background using Lindy's Magical powders. I then stamped the flower stamps from the Papermania stamp set (which is years old!) I coloured them with Ecoline pens and doodled with my white gel pen. I stamped the leaves and coloured them too. I added white paint splatters to finish off the background. I added Frida and then attached the sentiment.

Digital Guest Designer - Whimsy Stamps

 I'm delighted to have been asked by the lovely Wends to be a Digital GDT for Whimsy Stamps for the month of July.

 For my second project I've made a circle card using the Elania mermaid digi stamp.

 I cut my circle background out and using Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides spritzed with some water on my glass mat, I smooshed the colours on using scrunched up cellophane. Drying it between colours. I then blended the same colours through the bubble stencil using my blending brushes. Once that was done I added some extra colour to the outside of some of the bubbles using the Ecoline waterbrush markers and pulled the colour out with my waterbrush. I then stamped the plants and little circles from the Art By Marlene #47 set in Versafine Clair Monarch. I used my white gel pen and used the stencil to create white circles of varying sizes. I then used my white and violet Posca pens to add some paint splatters.

I coloured the beautiful Elania mermaid with my Copic markers adding highlights with my white gel pen. I mounted her on 3D foam pads and adhered her to the card. I printed out the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Best Fishes digital set and added it too. To finish off I added the Bubbles from Little Things from Lucy's Cards

Vera Lane Studio - Sherlock Holmes

 

Happy Saturday!

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

 

 I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan so I asked Janet if she would draw a Sherlock Holmes character and she didn't disappoint! (not that she ever does!)

I went with a small double journal spread.  I smooshed Squeezed Lemonade, Rustic Wilderness and Vintage Photo spritzed with water over both pages until I got the look I was happy with. I also scribbled the Deep Yellow Ecoline pen on my glass mat and added some water. I used this to add some darker yellow areas. 

I then stamped the #262 MESH stamp randomly over the pages using the same Oxide colours. Next I used the  #456 Snippet Alphabet and stamped 221B (Baker Street) in Versafine Clair Nocturne a couple of times including off the page. I also added some question marks (Whodunnit?)

I then used one of the stamps from #211 Count On You and stamped it a few times. I then cut out some shoeprints on my ScanNCut and used them as a stencil. I sponged through with Black Soot.

I finished the background with some white paint splatters.

I then coloured and cut out Sherlock, Toby and one of the sentiments,

I printed out the dictionary definitio of detective and adhered it on the right page. I then added Sherlock and Toby just above it.

I finished the pages by adding the sentiment to the left hand page and doodling around it with my black fineliner.

 

Elementary Dear Watson!
