Hi there,

This will be my last Visible Image Stamps blog for a couple of weeks, as I'm off to the seaside for a well earned rest, lol !!!!

Today I would like to wish the Lovely Helen Michelle's, 

(Visible Image Stamps co-owner and marketing wizard, stamp packer, blog writer and general dogsbody, lol) 

Birthday, I hope you have a wicked time and get spoiled and pampered.

This is the card I made her, using her favourite stamps colours (I hope).....

The stamps I used were.......

Flower Inkognito and Happy Birthday Set.

I created the background using shaving foam and Dylusion sprays, I heat embossed the Flower Inkognito using black powder, and then painted them with purple Stickles, I used the flower from the Happy Birthday set around the edges, and heat embossed the sentiment to match.

My second card is a little 'Thank you' card....

The stamps I used here are.....

The feather from Angels are Near and the sentiment from the 'Thank you Set'.

The background is Alcohol Inks on a Glossy Card, the feather was first stamped in Black Stazon ink, along with the sentiment. I then stamped the feather using Versamark onto some black card, and heat embossed in White powder. I fussy cut this out, shaped it and using Gel Glue, added it to the background but offset it a little to give the illusion of a shadow, I put some Stickkles on the top for sparkle.

.

A few days left to enter the Visible Image 'Show and Tell', for a chance to win some new stamps, all the details are HERE.

Thank you for visiting, and I shall be back a little browner, if English weather permits, and a lot rested.

Visible Image Stamps, Brusho Crystal paints, Wow Embossing Powder, Glossy Accents, and Stickles.

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing a card I've made, using some fabulous Visible Image Stamps, a very simple card really. I made a background using Brusho's, I liked it so much I didn't want to cover it all, lol, I bet you've all done that too !!!!

I used the Brusho's on water-colour card, I spritzed the card with water, then sprinkled 3 colours on top, Blue, Yellow and Orange, spritzing to make them run into each other, it gave this cloudy day look. On a smaller piece of 

water-colour card, using similar colours of Distress ink, I mixed each colour with a small amount of water, and washed them over the card, adding more colour where I needed it.

The stamps I've used are............

Grunge Flourish, Classic Face and 'Never give up on your Dream' from the Sunshine Set.

I stamped the curly bit of the Grunge Flourish a few times to the left on the larger coloured background, stamped the sentiment using Versamark, and heat embossed in Orange powder.

Then on the smaller piece of coloured card, I stamped the Classic Face using Black Versafine ink. Using thick bleach and a small paintbrush, I bleached the colour out of the eye, then added some blue and orange to the iris, when it was dry I added Glossy Accents, for a shiny eye. I coloured her lips with a 'Ripe Persimmon' Distress ink wash and to finish off I added orange Stickles to the flourish, for that bit of sparkle.

Time to get your imagination going, pick up your inks and Visible Image Stamps, and enter the 'Show and Tell', for a chance to win some new Stamps, details HERE.

Go have a look at the Visible Image Face Book Group HERE, there's always a buzz going on, and Helen is showing sneaky peeks of the new stamps, being released very soon, exciting stuff.
