Lavinia Stamps, Distress inks, Dylusions, Stickles

Hi there,

It's time for a new Lavinia Stamps Challenge,

 the theme for July is 'Summer Colours'. These are my DT makes, to hopefully inspire you to make something and enter, for a chance to win £40 to spend on some new Lavinia goodies.

My first card is 6"x 8", and the background is Dylusion sprays, over stamped in black Archival, with.......

 Tree Root, Tree Goddess 'Luna', Wild Flower, and Willow.

I then used a white pen, Stickles and Liquid pearls to add colour to the stamping.

 I stamped 'Luna's' wings onto a separate piece of card, coloured them with promarkers and stickles, fussy cut, then added to the image.

My second is a 6"x 6" card, and the background was achieved with Distress inks, and the stamps I used are.............

 Gaggle of Geese, Bullrushes, Tree Scene, and Fern Leaf.  

All the top stamping was done in Black Archival, the reflection was done with Black soot Distress ink, using my Splodge mat, again I used l

Liquid Pearls and Stickles to add colour to the image.

I hope I have given you a little help, to inspire you to have a go and enter the Challenge, all the rules, details of how to enter and more DT inspiration HERE.

Hello friends,

I am doing this page of my blog, from very sunny Swanage, I am relaxing on my holibobs, so just a quick one.

This is my DT inspiration for the new Visible Image Challenge, the theme for July is 'Anything Goes', an easy one for you all to take part in and maybe win £20 of  fantastic new stamps.

 It is also the card that I made for the lovely Helen Michelle's Birthday last week, using the fabulous wings from 'Fae Hope Set', Bronte Script, Grounge Flourish, Tall Grass, and sentiment from Happy Birthday Set.

I stamped the wings onto card and coloured with Promarkers, and fussy cut them I stamped them again onto heat resistant acetate with Versamark, and heat embossed with black powder, and fussy cut them too, then glued the acetate over the card and added Stickles for sparkle.

The background is Distress inks, with random stamping of the Bronte script, then flicking with water. I stamped the Tall grass and Grunge flourish at the bottom, and with a clear embossing pen made some small circles, added powder and heat embossed, I added stickles for that bit of sparkle.

The larger background was done in the same way, but using a lighter touch !!

I attached the wings with glue gel, and made a body using perfect pearls, the finishing touch was the Happy Birthday, which I stamped once in black ink, and then again offset in Versamark, and heat embossed it, giving a sort of 3D look.

I hope I have inspired you to join in our Challenge, as I said before, such an easy theme 'Anything Goes'. Check out the rules and see the other DT members inspiration HERE.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress inks, & Wow embossing powder.

Hi again,

I'm off on my holibobs tomorrow, two wonderful weeks in Swanage, Dorset,

I can't wait, although I know the time will go all too fast !!!!

Today I'd like to share a Birthday card I created, using some of the fabulous stamps available form Visible Image Stamps. It was made for one of my DT teamies Kay, who loves everything dark and mysterious.

The Visible Image stamps used for this project are......

The dragon, the seal and the sentiment from Orin Destiny set, the rocks from Myrddin Magick set, and the Runic Background set.

I used distress inks for the background, and stamped using the Runic Background, without a block, so I got the sort of staggered look. 

The fabulous Dragon was stamped in Versamark, and heat embossed using a Wow black sparkle powder, the seal was also stamped with Versamark and heat embossed using Wow gold sparkle powder. The rocks were stamped and coloured on a separate piece of card, and fussy cut, then stacked onto the main image. I added the sentiment, also in Black sparkle powder, some pink card and a bit of ribbon, to make it a bit more girly !!!

As a finishing touch, I also stamped the dragon onto the back of the envelope.

I hope this card has inspired you a little, there are still a couple of days left to enter the June Challenge, 'Man oh Man', for your chance to win £20 of new stamps, see all the info HERE.

Hi there crafty friends,

I'm on countdown to my holidays, 1 week left to go, or 8 sleeps, I can't wait.

Today, I'd like to share another creation using some more fabulous

Visible Image Stamps.

The stamps I used on this 6"x 6" card were....

 Classic Face, Grunge Harlequin and The Chandelier set.

I started with an A4 piece of card, which I sprayed with Dylusions in red, blue and yellow, you never really know how they will come out, lol, out of it I cut a 5 1/4" square piece, this became my background.

 I stamped over this square using Grunge Harlequin, in a combination of

 red and green Distress inks. I stamped the Chandelier to the left, in Versamark, and heat embossed in orange powder.

 Using black Distress ink, I shaded above the Chandelier, to give the impression of cascading light.

With the remaining coloured card, I stamped the Face in versamark, and heat embossed with a bronze powder, cut to size then added highlights to her eye with a white pen. The sentiment was heat embossed with black powder.

I hope you'll have a go at the Visible Image Challenge, the June theme is

 'Man Oh Man', and you have just one week left, to get crafting, for a chance to win £20 of new stamps. Check it all out HERE.

Wow, three days in a row, lol, you'll be fed up with my blog, lol !!!

Today, I'm sharing a man's card, which could be used for any occasion, made with some fabulous stamps from Visible Image Stamps.

This card is made using Men's Collage, Grunge Check Background, and the sentiment's from Handy Hints set. I heat embossed the background using clear powder, then went over with 3 colours of Distress inks. I layered the collage after stamping it 3 times and heat embossing each layer with a different colour, and fussy cutting. A bit of string and a sentiment finishes it off.

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.
