Vera Lane Studio - Superheros

 

Happy Saturday!

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

 

I've made two tags this week using the Sam Poole Tattered Tags die.

 

 

For the first tag I used Superman. I coloured him with my Copic markers and fussy cut him out.I used the #126 Lotza Starz stencil and Liquitex light modelling paste and added some textured stars to the tag. Next I spritzed Prize Ribbon and Festive Berries distress oxides on my glass mat and smooshed the tag in each colour separately drying in between. I also stamped #485 Reverse Stars randomly using Prize Ribbon, Festive Berries and Versafine Clair Cheerful. I adhered a scrap piece of yellow zig zag paper and punched out a couple of stars from it. I then adhered Superman and the sentiment which I printed on my PC. I finished off by adding the two yellow stars.

 

 

For the second tag I used Spiderman. I also coloured him with my Copic markers and fussy cut him out. I used the same tag die cut as the first and the same smooshing technique only with Black Soot as well. I then stamped the circles from #338 Background Noise randomly with Versafine Clair Nocturne.Next I added the spider web die cuts using the Cheery Lynn corner die. I used the word fun from the washi tape and added it near the bottom of the tag. I then added Spiderman with some black netting behind him. To finish off I added the sentiment from the set.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

Lots Of Layers 

I've made a slimline card using this pretty image from All Dressed Up called Prima Ballerina. I coloured her with my Copic markers and fussy cut her out. I also printed out her tutu again and layered it with some tulle and added it to the main image.

I tore some of the Stamperia Passion papers and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress oxide. I then layered them up and adhered to the card base. I also used one of the tags from the Stamperia paper pad and added it on the left side. I stamped some script randomly using the Indigo Blu Script  Background and Versafine Clair Chianti ink. I then sprinkled some Aged Rose Frantage over it and heat embossed it. Next I added some paint splatters with my Posca white paint pen. I adhered the ballerina in place leaving her arms free to add some depth. I finished off with the Dance ticket from the Stamperia paper pad and some ribbon and tulle on the tag.

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.

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 - No Kidding

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project featuring this week's release called No Kidding which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

I've made an accordion card this week. I scored a 10" x 4 ¾" piece of card at 2½, 5 and 7½ inches.I hand drew a line of hills on some card and cut it out using each piece like stencils so I could ink up the sky first using Tumbled Glass and a little Salty Ocean. I then used the other half of the card so I could ink up the grass using Lucky Clover. I then stamped over the grass using the scribbly stamp from the #338 Background Noise stamp set using Lucky Clover again so it was tone on tone.

 

 

I coloured Billy the little boy, 3 goats and the grass tufts from the No Kidding set with my copic markers. I also coloured one of the suns from the Suns set. I added the little boy on the first page then 1 goat on each of the others along with the grass tufts. The sun was added to the last page along with the word Shine from the washi tape.

To finish off I added the words to the Little Goatherd song from The Sound Of Music for a little bit of humour!

 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.

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

 

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.

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.

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.
