Hi Crafty friends and followers,

a very Happy 2014 to all you lovely people

I've had a couple of weeks off from blogging my Visible Image creations,

but I am back, sharing my inspiration for the first Challenge of 2014,

the theme is 'Anything Goes', the prize is £20 to spend on Visible Image goodies, so pop over to the Visible Image Blog, read the rules and

 get cracking.

I have made two cards both 6"x 6".

The Visible Image stamps I've used are

Painted Wood Set

Handy Hints Set

Zebra Background

I stamped the length of wood across the card, and went over it with my distress tool, then stamped the roller paint with Versamark, heat embossed using Cosmic Shimmer 'Coral Glow Aurora' powder, added the paint blots using distress ink and Glossy Accents.

On a different piece of card, I stamped the brush, roller and pot, adding the 'Paint the Town Red' to the label, I also added some 'Woodware Fun Foil' to some area's to look metallic, fussy cut them all out, shaped them then attached them to the card, lastly I stamped the sentiment at the top.

Card 2 was created in the same way, except I made a piece of card to protrude at the front, using 'Wow Pink Fizz' embossing powder to give the rolled paint effect. I went over the Zebra Background with a Gold 'Wink of Stella' pen, and used Stickles over the Celebrate, for some added girly sparkle.

Take a look also at the 'Visible Image' Facebook group, where stampers can showcase their own creations using Visible Image Stamps, share news and ask questions HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting, please leave me a comment, I don't always reply, but I do always read them.

Big hugs, Pauline xxxx
