This card is made using Men's Collage, Grunge Check Background, and the sentiment's from Handy Hints set.

Visible Image stamps, Distress inks, Dylusions, Wow embossing powders.

Hello, I'm back again,

Today is the official launch of the New Visible Image,

 'Revolution' set of Stamps,

I have more projects to share with you, I do love these stamps.......

I made a crown out of the two sizes of Fleur De Lys stamps in the set, on this 6"x 6" card, with a Dylusions ink background, layered with stamping and heat embossing.

  

The crown is quite dimensional...

The next is a quick tag, using Distress inks, and heat embossing.

This last one is 6"x 8", the background is Distress inks, with layered stamping, and the fab horses are heat embossed onto heat-proof acetate, and roughly cut.

I also heat embossed the flourish onto acetate and cut out, then used Pinflair gel to give it all dimension.

Thank you once again for visiting, I do hope you check out these fantastic new stamps, they are so versatile, and I love them. There are also lots of

 DT inspiration on the Visible Image Blog, so take a look at that too.

Hi Blogland friends,

Visible Image Stamps, called 'Revolution', I love them, and they are officially released tomorrow, Saturday 14th June, but I'm going to give you a taste of them, here are some projects I've made using them.

This first one is an 8"x 8" card, the background was made with Dylusion spray inks, I do love their vibrant colours.

I have used all the stamps in the set, stamping with Distress inks, and some heat embossing with Wow powders.

The next card is 6"x 6", and quite quirky, lol, my imaginations does run wild sometimes !!!

I made the Fleur De Lys fly, using 2 pairs of wings from the

 Time after Time set, the rest of the stamps are in the Revolution set.

The next card and tag have already been shown in the Visible Image Facebook Group, and on the Visible Image Blog.

There will be more projects on my blog tomorrow, to celebrate the launch of these fabulous stamps, did I say I love them, lol !!!

Sweet Poppy Stencils, Distress inks, and Promarkers.

Hi there,

I was very lucky recently, to be asked by the 

lovely Lucy of Sweet Poppy Stencils, 

to join her fabulous Design Team, what an honour.

So armed with a couple of super stencils, some Translucent paste, microbeads, Distress inks, and Promarkers I had a little play.

The stencils I used were, Dress 8 - Charlotte and Teardrop Background.

I sponged Distress ink through the Teardrop background, straight onto a masked 8"x 8" card blank, and then added some faux stitching.

 On another piece of card, I traced through the Dress stencil with a black pen, took the stencil away and coloured using Promarkers. I then popped the stencil back on. smoothed Translucent paste through, removed the stencil carefully, poured over the Microbeads, and put aside to dry.

I matted and layered up the Dress, added some ribbon and a sentiment.

I do hope you like my first DT project for Sweet Poppy.

Thank you so much for visiting, and for the fab comments.

Till next time,

Hugs, Pauline xxxx

Visible Image Stamps, Distress inks, Promarkers & Glossy Accents.

Hi there,

Another week has passed, gosh the time flies sooo fast, lol !!!

Today I'm sharing a  bright and summery card, made of course, with some fantastic Visible Image Stamps, check out the whole range HERE.

I used the Katie Kisses Stamp Set for this stepper card, all the image were  coloured with Promarkers, and the background was blended with distress inks.

I added some grass using the Tall Grass stamp, fussy cut Katie to give her more dimension, and added Stickles to all the butterflies.

I stamped the sentiment onto shrink plastic, and watched it grow smaller, with the aid of my heat tool, magic !!!

Lavinia stamps, Distress inks,

Helloooo,

Today is the start of a new Lavinia Stamps Challenge, 

the theme for June is 'Add some beads or gems'.

I have created 2 cards as my DT inspiration for this months Challenge, 

I hope you like them.

This first card was very simple to do, I used a mask for the sun, and blended distress inks to make the background, I then stamped the bottom with 'Field Grass', and I used the stem of the 'Zen Thistle' for the flower stems.

 I stamped the 'Zen small flowers', and the 'Bee' onto a seperate piece of card, coloured with my Promarkers, and fussy cut them. 

I attached them with glue gel, and added the sentiment 'Fairy Dust is like Love', lastly I added coloured gems to the middle of the flowers.

For this card, I stamped the background using 'Fairy Words', then sprayed the whole thing with Perfect Pearl mists, using 3 colours, although the bling does'nt photo well. I stamped the 'Nigella Damascena', and added some Frantage.

The beautiful 'Zen Butterfly', I stamped onto acetate, and heat embossed, coloured with Promarkers on the reverse, then painted with white acrylic paint, to make the colours pop. I fussy cut it, attached it with glue gel, and added gems.

All the details, DT inspiration, rules etc. for the 'Lavinia Challenge',

Visible Image, Distress inks, Wow embossing powder, Crackle accents and Glossy accents.

Hi there,

It' the first 1st the month, and that means a new Visible Image Challenge has begun, and the June theme is.....'Man Oh Man',

 this could be for for Fathers day, Birthday's, Anniversary's, or any occasion that needs a masculine card or project.

I've made 2 cards for Fathers Day, each of them using the fabulous Men's Collage, Bronte Script and Tyre Marks.

For the first card, I stamped the Men's Collage 4 times, the first layer I stamped in Broken China ink, also stamping the Winter Tree in Vintage Photo, on this layer too, then ripped the card around the edges. 

The second layer I stamped in Versamark, heat embossed with silver powder, and fussy cut the pocket watch, I also cut out the face of it too.

 The third layer was stamped in Black, out of this I fussy cut the pocket watch again, glued it behind the silver one, then added crackle accents to the face.

The last layer was again stamped in Versamark, heat embossed in black, and the classic car was fussy cut. 

All the layers were then glued into place with Pinflair gel, and mounted on a piece of ripped Kraft card.

The background was stamped with Bronte Scipt, using Vintage photo and Broken China, and mounted onto some ripped Kraft card.

I coloured a piece of American seam binding with the distress inks, then stamped the Tyre marks using black Stazon ink. The finishing touch was the sentiment, taken from the Handy Hints set.

The second card, was made in a similar way, but without ll the layers. I coloured on the reverse side of a piece of Centura  Card, in 4 different Distress colours, and stamped the Mens Collage.

The background was stamped with the Bronte Script in Mustard Seed, then over stamped with the Tyre Marks stamp, which I coloured using the 4 colours, making it multi coloured. 

I added a few black gems and the sentiment.

I hope I've given you a little bit of inspiration, and that you'll have a go and enter the Challenge, there's a chance of winning £20 of new stamps, and there are loads of smashers to choose from, take a look at the other DT creations and enter HERE..
