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 - Pirates

 I'm sharing a second  Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a pair of tags featuring an older release called Pirates which is available from the Etsy shop.

 I created the wood effect background using my scoreboard and brown watercolour marker. Then added the nail effect with a brown sharpie.

The porthole was cut using a die I had, and I spread it over the two tags along with the underwater scene. I added some gilding wax to the porthole to highlight the embossing

I added the pirate images which were coloured with my copic markers. One on each tag along with a sentiment from the set.. To finish I knotted some natural twine and threaded through the holes at the top.

Vera Lane Studio - Cinderella

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a double 6x6 journal spread featuring the new release this week called Cinderella which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

I started by brayering some Arteza Pearl Sky Blue over both pages. I then brayered some Pearl White over the blue. It's got such a beautiful sheen but difficult to photograph.

I then stamped AALL & Create stamps #468 Scripted Stars and #485 Reverse Stars randomly over the pages using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. I then coloured in the small stars using a blue metallic pencil. I then splattered some Molotow white acrylic paint over the pages.

Next I printed out the images and coloured them in with my Copic markers. I thenfussy cut them out. I added the glass slipper in the bottom right page and added some clear wink of stella to add some sparkle. I added the Believe strip of washi tape on the left hand side and added Cinderella to it. I added some clear wink of stella to her dress and tiara.  I also added some highlights with my white gel pen.

To finish off I added the sentiment over the two pages and outlined it with my blue fineliner.

The theme from Team Wendy is

Things With Wings

 

 I went with a slimline card using these super cute Gossip Chicks from Digi Doodle Studios. I coloured them with my copic markers and added highlights with my white gel pen. I then cut them out.

I used the Torn Edge slimline dies and cut out the layers with red card and a paper from the Sunny Side Up collection from Nitwit.

I adhered the patterned paper to the red torn edge layer and lined up the 3 red frames. I then adhered it to my white card base.

I then positioned the chickens and adhered them in place. I finished off with one of the sentiments from the set.

Crafts Galore Encore May Challenge

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

For May it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Morgan's ArtWorld  and the prize is 3 digi stamps.

  I decided to do a 5x5 card this month. I ran some grey cardstock through the Knit One Purl One embossing folder to give it a knitted texture. I then cut some circles of burnt orange card using the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Circles dies. Once they were cut I then ran them through the same embossing folder. I adhered the grey background to the card and added the circles in the position I was happy with.

Next I coloured the image called Winter 10 using my Copic markers in burnt orange and grey to match the cardstock. I then fussy cut her out.

 

Once I had decided where she was to go I adhered her to the card. I then cut the Lawn Fawn Hugs die in black card to give contrast. Once it was in place I then stamped the Warm from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler set above it. I finished off with some orange dewdrops.

I really love how this card turned out!

Vera Lane Studio - Moose Hunt

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a 6x6 journal page featuring an extra release this week called Moose Hunt which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

 I started with a piece of 6x6 wood effect patterned paper. I then stamped one of the circles from AALL & Create #404 Visual Ingredients on Versafine Clair Acorn randomly over the background. I used #304 Heatfelt and stamped it with Rustic Wilderness distress oxide again randomly over the background. I then used the numbers stamp from #338 Background Noise and stamped it with Versafine Clair Nocturne

 

 Next I printed and coloured the trees and moose using my Copic markers adding some highlights with my white gel pen, and fussy cut them out. I positioned the trees where I wanted them and adhered them to the background. I trimmed the antlers off one of the moose to make it female. I then adhered them to the background adding some white corrugated card below them that I'd coloured to look like grass.

I also stamped and coloured the leaves from the #418 Tea Time stamp set and added them to the mouth of the female moose. To finish off I used up some die cut hearts that were left from a Whimsy Die cut and added the punny Moose Be Love sentiment, which I doodled around with my black fineliner pen.

I just love their expressions!

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 - Marine Mammals

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an 8 inch double journal spread featuring the soft release this week called Marine Mammals which is available from the Etsy shop.

 

I decided to make the pages look like an aquarium.

I started by adding some Paperartsy Ice Blue acrylic paint to the pages using a baby wipe. I then added the Sky to the bottom half of the page and blended until I got the look I wanted. I then used the AALL & Create #87 Totally Dotty stencil and dabbed some Tumbled Glass distress oxide though it until I got the background bubble look I wanted. Next I used two different sized pen lids and dipped them in Snowflake white paint and stamped them randomly over the pages to look like more bubbles. I added some white gel pen highlights to them and not forgetting some white paint splats.

 I then cut 4 strips of the Stamperia wood effect paper to size and blended some Vintage Photo distress oxide over them to age them a bit. I then glued them in place with gel medium. After that I added a thick layer of gel medium along the bottom of the aquarium and added some decorative sand.

Next I moved onto the printing and colouring of the images I wanted to use. I used the whale and narwhal from the Marine Mammals set, seaweed from the Mermen and Under The Sea sets, purple fish from Sakana, other fish and seashell from Ocean's 11. I coloured them with my copic markers and cut them out. Next I adhered them to my pages using gel medium. I printed out the sentiment from the Marine Mammals set and also decided to give the aquarium a name so went for OddysSea. Some black fineliner around the sentiments and a pearl to the large seashell and it was finished. 

I was really pleased with how it turned out!

Vera Lane Studio - Jardin

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a 5½ inch double journal spread featuring Jardin which is available from the Etsy shop. I also used an older set called Circles And Stems.

 I started by  using the Cracked Wall 1 stencil and some light modelling paste on the left hand page. Once it was dry I went over it with some Antique Linen distress oxide with some spritzed water added. Next I went over the raised bricks lightly with some Vintage Photo DO.

I blended some Tumbled Glass DO over the top 2 thirds of the pages.I then cut a cloud stencil out of some acetate and inked over it with Salty Ocean DO, moving it down the page to where the ink stopped. Next I blended some Lucky Clover DO on the bottom third of the pages and stamped using one of the stamps from the Visual Ingredients stamp set to look like grass.

 I coloured the girl, seedlings,seed packets and gloves from the Jardin set with my copic markers and cut them out. I used a piece of green garden net and attached it to the wall and adhered the new seedlings at the bottom. I then added the girl to the right of it.

 I also printed out some of the circles and stems a few times, coloured them with my copics and decoupaged them to give some dimension.

I added the stems to make them look like trees. I adhered them on the right hand page and added the gloves and seed packets at the bottom.

To finish off I printed the sentiment, doodled around it with my black fineliner and added it to the pages.

Something Not Usually Used For Crafting

 

I decided to use a 6" white circle cakeboard. I covered it with white card and trimmed it down. I then ran a black fineliner around the edge doodling a border.

Next I stamped the elephant in the bubble from the Tracey Hey Bubblicious set and coloured him with my copic markers and cut it out.

I adhered it to my circle in the bottom left corner. I then stamped one of the sentiments in the top right corner and finished it off with some bubble gems.

Vera Lane Studio - La Belle Vie

 

Happy Easter Saturday!

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

 I've made a little plaque from lollipop sticks for my project today. I glued 7 together at the back using 2 smaller lollipop sticks, and gave it a light wash of white acrylic paint.

I took my Twisted Citron distress oxide spray and gave it a few bursts over the plaque. I then used AALL & Create #103 Pebble Pile stencil and sponged lightly through it with Rustic Wilderness distress oxide. I then stamped #471 Scripted Ovals and the numbers from #338 Background Noise randomly in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Then added some Violet and White paint splatters using my Posca pens.

Next I cut a strip of white corrugated card and coloured it with some green copics to represent grass and adhered it across the plaque near the bottom.

 I printed out the girl and multiples of her flowers and coloured them with my copics and cut them out. I added some white highlights with my gel pen.

I had some white mini fencing so cut it down and glued some of the flowers to the front of it. I then adhered it just above the grass on the right side. I then adhered the girl to the middle and the other flowers to the left. To finish off I doodled around the sentiment with my black fineliner and adhered it to the plaque.

Now just to display it in The Crafty Cabin!

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

For April it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Babycakes DND  and the prize is 2 digi stamps.

 I decided to go with a slimline card this month. I added some Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides to my glass mat and spritzed with water. I then smooshed my card panel in it until I got the desired effect. I then used a diamond stencil and applied Paperartsy Snowflake white paint to it. Using it as a stamp I pressed down over the inked area.

I then stamped one of the stamps from the AALL & Create set #453 Heart grunge in Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch randomly over the panel.Next I stamped using #304 Heartfelt using the Monarch ink.

 I moved on to stamping the large heart in the Heart Grunge set onto purple tartan paper and cut it out. I then adhered it to the card.

I printed out the gnome and paper pieced his hat and hearts with the purple tartan paper. I then coloured him with copics, adding shading to the paper pieced parts. I then added some highlights with my white gel pen.

I splattered some white paint over the panel using a white paint pen and adhered the gnome to it. I finished by stamping the LOVE sentiment from the Heart Grunge set and added it to the card.

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.

Vera Lane Studio - Aviary

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an A5 journal page featuring Aviary which is available from the Etsy shop.

 I started by adhering a piece of the Stamperia Blue Lands paper to fit my page. I then used the AALL & Create #37 Cracked Walls 1 stencil and stencilled using Liquitex light modelling paste in the top and bottom left corners.

Once it was dry I went over with a watered down white gesso. Just to tone down the papers and give an even texture. 

Next I used some watered down Paperartsy Fresco paints in Ice Blue, Sky and Double Denim. Starting with the lightest just washing over the  texture paste and working towards the darkest shade. Also all around the outside so the darkest shade was at the edges. Once that was dry I used the Music part from the #75 Vocalist stamp set and stamped some randomly using Versafine Clair Nocturne. Then I stamped the grid stamp from #404 Visual Ingredients around the edges. I finished off the stamping with #304 heartfelt using Salty Ocean DO and added some white splatters with my white paint pen.

 I then coloured in my image and 4 of the birds using my copic markers, added some highlights with a white gel pen and cut them out. 

I added a piece of  #8 Fledgling washi tape and adhered my girl to it. I then adhered the birds. To finish off I added the sentiment and outlined with black fineliner.

Vera Lane Studio - Bunny Kisses

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an A5 journal page featuring Bunny Kisses which is available from the Etsy shop.

 I brayered my card using Paperartsy Fresco paints in Frosty and Peppermint greens and also Sherbet pink. I then brayered some Snowflake white onto the AALL & Create #116 Tre Fiore stencil by Janet. Next I spritzed it with some water and placed it on the background. I smoothed it down and held it in place for a minute then removed the stencil.

After that I used the circles from the #22 Human stencil and applied some Liquitex light modelling paste which I added some of the green and pink paint to, so it would coordinate. After it dried I used the stencil again and dabbed some Snowflake white paint through it with a sponge.

 When it had all dried I stamped using #304 Heartfelt, #352 Circled numbers and the script from #338 Backround Noise randomly over the page using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Some white splatters using my paint pen to finish it off.

I added two pieces of washi tape and adhered the girls on them. Finally I added the sentiment and ran my black fineliner around it.

Vera Lane Studio - Coffee, Tea And Books

 Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is a 6x6 journal page featuring Coffee, Tea And Books which is available in the Etsy shop.

 I coloured Amelia and her pile of books in with my copic markers and fussy cut her out. I also coloured in one of the plants from the Succulents set and cut it out.

I used some patterned paper that looked like wallpaper and cut off a 1 3/4 inch strip. I used the cut off piece to paper piece the cushions from Janet's AALL & Create #461 Have A Seat set. I added a piece of wood effect paper to look like the floor and added a darker strip as skirting. I used one of the script stamps from AALL & Create #338 to add some script to the wallpaper.  I then stamped the sofa from the Have A Seat set and paper pieced it with some hessian look paper. I then used to copics to add some shading. I glued a set of cushions on the sofa and added Amelia. I then used some 3D foam pads to add some dimension.

I added the pile of books with some 3D foam pads too. I added the succulent plant and another set of cushions on the floor. I printed off the sentiment and doodled a frame around it. I then doodled the hanger so it looked like a picture on the wall. To finish off I doodled around the edge with my black fineliner pen.

Vera Lane Studio - Belle Âme

 Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an altered gift bag featuring Belle Ame which is available in the Etsy shop.

 I tore some script paper and kraft card I had and glued it randomly on the bag. One of the pieces of kraft card I ran through my Marvy paper crimper tp give the corrugated effect.

I applied some white gesso around all the ripped edges to soften the look. I then applied some Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to my glass mat and spritzed some water on them, I then used a brush and applied the colours randomly over the gesso and edges of bag.

I stamped using the grid from Visual Ingredients in Ground Espresso. I then stamped using the bubble wrap in Vintage Photo. Script from Background Noise in Vintage Photo and finished off the stamping using a pen lid and some Snowflake white Paperartsy paint.

Next I splattered with paint from my Posca pens in White, Brown and Gold

I adhered a strip of canvas and some jute ribbon.

Once I had coloured my image with all E number Copics, apart from her gold flower eyelashes and star, I adhered her above the canvas. I used a Dark Brown     Zig watercolour pen and ran around her edges to add shadow. I also did the same with the stars which were punched out of kraft and paint splattered.

To finish off I added the sentiment and doodled around it with my black fineliner.

Vera Lane Studio - Pizza My Heart

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is featuring Pizza My Heart which is available in the Etsy shop.

Today I'm serving up a 6 inch well fired pepperoni pizza as my project. As much as my husbands family are Italian I'm not a huge pizza fan. Probably why it's well fired...LOL. 

You really do need to use your imagination a bit here. 

(and read the bits in brackets in an Italian accent!)

 I started by applying some texture paste using the AALL And Create stencil #88Ring The Changes. Once it was dry I smooshed it in some Crackling Campfire and Festive Berries distress oxides mixed with water. I then cut them out with a circle die. I then inked around the edges with some Crackling Campfire.

(That's a the pepperoni!)

I did the same smooshing technique on my 6 inch pizza base. I then stamped one of the stamps from #338 background noise in Candied Apple. 

(That's a the tomato!)

I also stamped one of the script stamps from the same set in Vanilla  Paperartsy acrylic paint.

 (That's a the cheese!)

I then added the pepperoni and used my Black Zig watercolour pen to ink around it and the base.

(That's a the well fired effect!)

I then used my black Posca paint pen to add splatters. 

(That's a the cracked black pepper!)

I finished with the heart from the digi set and inked it with Cracked Pistachio DO and stencilled it with the same stencil using Lucky Clover DO.

(That's a the Basil!)

To finish I coloured my image with copics and cut her out. I then added the sentiment and doodled with my black fineliner around it, and some black watercolour underneath to tie it all in.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 Saturday and time for another 

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

 

The theme from Team Wendy is

Cards For Teens/Kids

 

I added a circle of the dinosaur footprints paper to the leafy background paper. I then cut out the cheesecloth die in kraft card and added it to the left side of the circle. I coloured Whimsy Stamps Bronti with my copics and added him on top of the cheesecloth die cut.

I printed my sentiment and die cut it out using the Memory Box wrapped circles, along with some in white,green and kraft card. I added the number 4 in white from the Lawn Fawn Finley's 123s die set.

To finish off I added the leaf die cut using a The Works die.

Perfect for a dino loving 4 year old!

Vera Lane Studio - 99% Angel

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Vera Lane Studio DT project which is an 6x6 journal page featuring 99% Angel which is available in the Etsy shop.

 I brayered some Paperartsy Haystack coloured paint onto my page. I then toned it down in bits using Snowflake white. I used one of the circles from #404 Visual Ingredients and stamped it in the top left corner with Versafine Clair Cheerful to look like a sun. I used the little raindrop like stamp to add the rays. I then second generation stamped the other circle stamp in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide. I also stamped the little semi circles stamp in Cheerful.

Next I used the cloud looking stamp from #211 Count On You and stamped it in Frayed Burlap randomly on the page. I then used #352 Circled numbers and stamped parts of it using Fossilised Amber DO.

 I coloured in my images with my copic markers and cut them out. I added the clouds to the page. I then added some white paint splatters using my tombow white paint pen. Next I added my image and sentiment to finish off
