Visible Image Stamps, Brusho's, Distress inks, Glossy Accents, & Wow Embossing Powder.



Hello there, 
 A quick post today, it was Mr Visible Image (aka Mark Alexander)'s Birthday last Saturday, so I made him a card, using some of his awesome stamp designs.


The stamp sets I used were......

The background was achieved using Brusho's, and over stamped with the Ripple and the sound-wave, using Versamark and silver Embossing powder. Distress inks were used to stamp the music and the sentiment, and the circles were stamped with white gesso. The main images were stamped onto a separate piece of card, fussy cut and added to the card.



I stamped the inside of the card using Distress Inks, for a bit of fun.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress inks, & Crackle Accents.



Hellooooo,
 it's that time of the week again, Fabulous Friday, and my turn to share a 

I used one of the Brand new Stamp sets, for this card,
the Glimmer of Light set.
I love this set, apart form the awesome moth, the little light bulb is so cute, and the perfect sentiment too.
I also used the small burst from the Rays of Light set.


I stamped the light bulbs onto the card, first and second generation ink, then masked them off to blend the Distress ink background. whilst the masks were on, I stamped the small burst of light onto each bulb, using Gesso. When this was dry, I took off the masks and added Crackle Accents to each bulb.
I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine, and high lighted it with a white pen.


The fabulous Moth, was achieved using Fantasy Film and Fibers, for that wonderful opulent look.

Don't forget to visit these Visible Image places of interest......

Thanks for dropping in, hugs, Pauline xxxxx

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, Wow Embossing Powder, Viva Pearl Pen & Stickles.



Hello Friends,

Another week has passed, gosh I wish they would slow down a bit, lol !!!!

I'm here again, with one of my Visible Image creations, using a few of their awesome stamp sets, it was a Birthday card for the Lovely Helen, half the driving force of the Visible Image Company.


The stamps I used on this card are.........

I stamped the ladies head, onto a 6"x 6" piece of card, in versamark, and heat embossed it using a clear powder, I then went over the card with Distress Inks, popped a stencil on and blended the ink through it. I stamped the birds using White ink, then went over the head with a white Viva Pearl pen.
I stamped the flower from the 'Happy Birthday' set, in different shades, and fussy cut them, I also fussy cut the little feathers after I'd heat embossed them in white powder, onto black card.


The larger background, was created by blending Distress ink, stamping the flower, and heat embossing the feather in white powder, and then used Stickles here and there, for that bit of sparkle I love !!!
