Vera Lane Studio - Neapolitan Birthday Girl

Happy Saturday!

 

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a 6x6 journal page, featuring Birthday Girl who is available in the Etsy shop.

I've gone with a Neapolitan Birthday Girl as I wanted the page the colour of Neapolitan Ice Cream. Is it a flavour that's available all over the world? I really don't know! I just remember it coming in a long cardboard carton when I was wee and my mum sliced it into portions.

I used Paperartsy Fresco Paints in Toffee and Sherbet in opposite corners on my gelli plate and brayered them out.I also added little patches of Dina Wakley Magenta paint. I then applied the AALL and Create #79 Sputnik stencil to it and pressed it down into the layer of paint. I then removed it and allowed it to dry. I then applied a thin layer of the Vanilla to pull the print.

I stamped the grid from the AALL And Create #404 Visual Elements stamp set with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide over the background. I then stamped one of the circle stamps from the same set in Picked Raspberry and Ground Espresso. I finished by stamping the #434 Newsprint Numbers in Picked Raspberry. Some white paint splats to finish.

I then coloured the images with my copics in matching colours adding white highlights with my gel pen, and cut them out. I added some washi tape and then adhered my images to the page. I doodled in the balloon strings with my black fineliner and added some glossy accents to make them shiny. Finally I added the Celebrate sentiment.

Now I'm craving some Neapolitan ice cream!

Vera Lane Studio - Not Driving Home For Christmas

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring 3 sets which are available in the Vera Lane Studio Etsy shop.

I wanted to make a bright Christmas coloured project and inject a bit of humour. Goodness knows we need some after the year we've had. I decided to use the Chris Rea song Driving Home For Christmas or as in the case may be, Not Driving Home For Christmas depending on local travelling and visiting restrictions.

I've used the car from the Wheels set, the girl from New Day and the tree from Merry.

I know it's not the typical American red truck but I love this little red car so added the tree on top. The girl from New Day looks like she's shaking her finger and saying "no" so I thought she would be perfect.

 

I brayered red, white and green acrylic paint onto my gelli plate and pressed down onto it with some bubble wrap to add some texture. I then used Vanilla acrylic paint to lift the print. I then stamped AALL And Create #399 Framework Elements in Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide and #352 Circled Numbers in Festive Berries. Next I stamped #434 Newsprint Numbers in Versafine Clair Nocturne black.  I then used the top of two pen lids and stamped circles in Snowflake white.

Next I adhered my images and added some doodling below them with my black fineliner. I added the word Journey from the AALL And Create washi tape in the top left corner and then printed out my sentiment, underlining the word NOT in red. I finished by adding this to my project.

I loved making this tongue in cheek scene and hope it brought a smile to your face.

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.

T4T Designs - Purrfect Love

Thursday and time for another Time For Tea DT post.

I'm using two of the cute cats from the Mew Are Pawsome clear stamp set that's available in the Etsy shop. It's also available to buy with the matching dies too.

 

I coloured the kitties with my copic markers and cut them out. I added some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide to my Gelli plate and brayered it over all the surface. I then pressed one side of the embossing folder into the Gelli plate and then lifted it off. Next I pressed my white cardstock down onto it and pressed firmly all over. When I lifted it it left this fab background. While that dried I printed the XO border on my PC and matted it onto some red cardstock. I printed the Purrfect sentiment from the stamp set onto some vellum and adhered it on top of the XO border. Once the background was dry I matted it onto some white and red cardstock and adhered my border in place. I then stuck the kitties in place mounted on 3D foam pads. I cut out the Love word arrow and stuck it in place. Finally some die cut hearts to finish it off.

 

Purrfect for that someone special!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Saturday and another new challenge at

Sweet Stampin'

 

This week the theme from Team Abi is

CAS

 

CAS is really not my style but I had coloured this fab Little Monster digi by Goebie Designs for the 30 Day Colouring Challenge on Instagram, so decided to use him on a card. I recently bought a Gelli plate having no idea what to do with it but watched some videos on Youtube and decided to give it a go. I used 3 Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron to match the colours I'd coloured him with. I brayered them on the gelli plate and pressed the stencil onto it. I removed the stencil and pressed my white card onto it. It was fairly basic but I was happy with my first attempt. I used my TH stamping tool and stamped the quote onto it. I layered the  panel onto my card blank,added the monster on some foam pads and added some Nuvo drops.
