Whimsy Stamps - Gnome Pumpkin Peeking

I'm sharing a card today featuring this cute Gnome Pumpkin Peeking as part of the Digital Diva's DT for Whimsy Stamp.

 I matted the spider web paper from the Vintage Halloween paper pack onto some green card and added a strip of the stripey paper across the bottom. I coloured the Gnome Pumpkin Peeking digi stamp with my copic markers and gave him a stripey hat to match the paper. I stamped the Boo! from the Going Batty stamp set and then cut it out using the stitched and pierced circle die. I spritzed some muslin cloth with Antique Linen distress oxide spray and when it was dry I adhered it to the card on the right and added the image on top. I offset it off the edge and trimmed it straight.

I love all the Whimsy Gnomes!

Happy Saturday!

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

I've made a simple little postcard. I brayered the Lapis and Ruby paint down either side of the postcard leaving the middle white. A quick French flag background!

I then added some of Janet's washi tape for AALL and Create which was perfect as it's French words. Next I stamped randomly using the X or O stamp set. I then doodled around the edge with my black fineliner. Some white paint splats to finish off the background.

I added the beret to Esmee, coloured her with my Copic markers and fussy cut her out. I positioned her in the middle of the postcard on the white panel.

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.

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.

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.
