Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Saturday and time for another  

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

Doodling

 

I've made a 6x6 journal page using Present Patient Peaceful from Vera Lane Studio. I've coloured her with my copic markers.

I used the White Lotus stencil to emboss my card lightly. I then used Lindy's Magicals to add colour to the background. I put the stencil back in place and used Distress Oxide to add some deeper shades to the centre of the flowers. I also used the Starburst stencil to add some light sun rays. I added some background stamping using the Background Voices stamp set. 

I used my white Posca pen to add some white paint splashes. I grounded the image on some washi tape and added doodles to her dress and around the page. Also on the sun rays.

Vera Lane Studio - Useful Quotes

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring this week's soft release called Useful Quotes which is available from the Etsy shop. I've paired it with an older set called Pleiades.

I've made a slimline card this week. I blended distress oxides in Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot in order starting from the centre and working outwards. I then stamped the #468 Scripted Stars in Chipped Sapphire and then when it was dry I overstamped it with my Versamark ink pad and clear embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder. I used my Tim Holtz stamping platforn to get it perfectly lined up. I spritzed some water over the background and dried it off. Then I flicked some watered down Paperartsy Snowflake white paint over the background with my fan paint brush. Using my white gel pen I added some white sparkles.

 

Once the background was finished I printed out the sentiment quote and image and coloured her with my Copic markers, adding some white dots to her dress. I then fussy cut her out along with the stars. To finish off I added a piece of washi tape and adhered her to the background along with the quote.

Crafts Galore Encore - September Challenge

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

For August it's another anything goes challenge.

 The sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps and the prize is 2 digi stamps from their store.

I've made a slimline card featuring Beret Girl from All Dressed Up Stamps. I coloured her with my Copic markers and cut her out.

I added some Candied Apple and Prize Ribbon distress oxides to my glass mat and spritzed with some water. I then smooshed my card in each colour separately drying between each colour.

Next I stamped the script stamp randomly using Versafine Clair Nocturne. I cut out the Eiffel Tower SVG on my ScanNCut in black card and adhered it to the background. I then cut it out using the slimline stitched rectangle dies.

I then added the washi tape from AALL & Create on both sides (luckily the words were French) and fixed the Beret Girl in place. To finish off I added the Merci sentiment which I printed on my PC.

Ooh La La!

Vera Lane Studio - Housework Whenever

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring this week's release called Housework Whenever which is available from the Etsy shop. This little lady better check out her washing machine before she washes her next load as she has a squatter in the machine..lol.

 

 I've made a journal page. I started with a piece of card and using my Distress Oxides I blended some Shaded Lilac with my blending brushes and then went round the edges with Hickory Smoke.

Next I stamped all over using the Scripted Circles stamp from AALL & Create using the Shaded Lilac. I then stamped around the edges with the Reckoner Digits stamp using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. I then added some paint splatters using my white and yellow Posca pens. I coloured some Washi tape with my Yellow Copics and added some around the edges. To finish off the background I doodled around the edge with the yellow Posca pen.

 

 

 

I coloured up the girl from the Housework set using shades of lilac and yellow. I wanted to add a little fun to the page so added the mermaid from the Under The Sea set to the drum of the washing machine as a little aqua squatter. Isn't she cute?

Once I had adhered them to the page I added the white circles (bubbles) using my white Posca pen. To finish off I added the sentiment.

Vera Lane Studio - Little Miss

Happy Saturday!

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

 

This Little Miss definitely looks like she's stepping out of her townhouse like someone famous!

Just owning it standing on her step.

I cut a piece of card 3.5 inches wide and 6 inches tall. I then cut a triangle from the white corrugated card so the overall size is 3.5x 8.5 inches.

I spritzed my distress oxide sprays in Antique Linen, Prize Ribbon and Vintage Photo and smooshed the card in each colour one at a time, drying between each colour. Next I sprinkled some frantage over it all and heated it from below. I love the effect it gives. Next I stamped some elements from different AALL & Create stamp sets in Versamark and embossed them in Primary Lagoon and Opaque Bright White Wow embossing powders.I added some Washi tape in different areas around the house.

 

 

 I coloured in the Little Miss in blues and neutrals to match the Distress Oxides I'd used. I also coloured one of the windows from the Vera Lane Studio Windows set and added it it to the house. I added a little offcut from the corrugated card to make a step and a chimney.

I adhered the Little Miss to the step and finished off with one of the sentiments.

I've made a circle card this week. I used the suns from the Suns  set and made a background in Microsoft Word. I then printed it out and coloured the suns with my Copic markers. Next I cut it out using my Lil Inkers Stitched Circles die. You can also get the Suns as collage sheets if you're not wanting to colour or need a quick project.

 

 I then coloured up the girl and flowers from the Sunny Days set and cut them out. I added a bit of the AALL & Create washi tape #6 Crafty that said shine and adhered the girl above it. I added some highlights with my white gel pen and finished off with one of the sentiments from the set.

Vera Lane Studio - Learn To Fly

Happy Saturday!

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

 I spritzed my card panel with Salvaged Patina and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide sprays. I then spritzed with some water and moved the colours around until I was happy. I then stamped in Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide using the grid stamp from the AALL & Create #404 Visual Ingredients by Janet.

I spritzed some Paperartsy Snowflake white paint with some water and splattered it over the panel. I finished the background by adding a doodled border with my white gel pen.

 

Next I moved onto my digi stamps. I coloured them with my copic markers and fussy cut them out. I added a piece of Janet's washi tape #18 Poets which I coloured with the same copic colours. I then adhered the girl and flowers to it.

I then added my sentiment and went round it in black. I placed the two birds at either side at the top. I then doodled black lines to make it look like the birds were holding the sign.

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 - Specs Appeal

 

Happy Saturday!

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

I decided I wanted a funny theme so  typed up the eye chart and inserted it into Word. I added two rows of the different specs you get in the digi set and printed it out.

I coloured in the glasses and added glossy accents. I added one of the sets of glasses to the girl and printed her out. I then coloured her with my copic markers. I stamped the circles stamp from Janet's #338 Background Noise in Versamark on her dress and embossed it with WOW white embossing powder. I also added glossy accents to her glasses. I doodled around the edge with my black fineliner and added some of Janet's new Washi tape for AALL & Create. 

Next I added some black and wine paint splatters. I used another small piece of washi tape and adhered the girl on it at the left side. I finally added the sentiment using the SPECS to cover up the "other" word in the eye chart....lol.

It's quite a CAS project but wanted to focus on the girl and the eye chart.

Thursday and time for another Time For Tea DT post.

If you know any cat lovers or crazy cat ladies then this digital stamp I'm using will be perfect for them. This is Happy Cat Mom Day and she's available to buy in the Time For Tea Designs shop.

I wanted to do an eclipse card, so coloured her with my copic markers and them cut out the MEOW on my ScanNCut. I then mounted the letters on 3d Foam tape. I then added it to my card blank that I matted with some dotty paper. I added a couple of bits of washi tape to the top right corner. The sentiment was printed on my PC.

 

Here's a close up.
