Whimsy Stamps - Cinnamon With Sunflower

  I'm delighted to have been asked by the lovely Wends to be a Digital Diva for Whimsy Stamps for the next few months.

I've made a slimline card featuring Cinnamon With Sunflower. I wanted to make an inky background so got out my Distress Oxides and had some fun with autumn colours. I cut out the base panel with the Slimline Card Builder die and embossed with the Thatched embossing folder. I cut the top panel with the Slimline Marquee die and popped it on 3D foam for dimesion. I coloured the image with my Copics and adhered her on the right. I printed the Autumn sentiment on my PC and cut out with the Zig Zag Rectangles dies.The Hello was tiny alphabet stickers and some dewdrops to finish off.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The theme from Team Wendy is

 

Unusual Hair Colour

 

I used this image from Tiddlyinks called Briar for my card. I coloured her with my Copic markers giving her red hair. Once she was coloured I cut her out.

I cut a circle from the Helly Rebel Belle papers and added a black scalloped circle behind. I then dabbed silver acrylic paint on the barbed wire laser cut frame from Dusty Attic. Once it was dried I adhered it to the card.

 

 I splattered some red Posca paint over the background. I then mounted the image on 3D foam pads and adhered it to the card. To finish off  I die cut the Be Unique sentiment twice and glued them together for some dimension.
