Visible Image Stamps, distress inks, Black Embossing Powder & Stickles.

Hi again,

Another week gone, and I'm back to share three cards I've made using some of the very unique stamps from Visible Image.

I have used the same inking technique on all three cards, using glossy cardstock, Distress inks applied with a Brayer and then clingfilmed until dry. I love the effect it gives.

The first card was stamped in versamark and then heat embossed using black powder. The Visble Image stamps I used were.....

Behind Every Mask,

 Birds and Feathers from Free Your Imagination

 and Happy Birthday.

I used the inky side of the flower stamp and distress inks to edge this card, and again heat embossed the main images.

The stamps used here were.....

Flower Inkognito

 and an older Visible Image sentiment, that some of you might have.

And again I used a stamp from the set with Distress inks, to edge this card, and  some frantage powder below the horse.

This is one of my favourite sets to use......

Revolution

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, and Embossing Powders.

Hello,

I'm back from my wonderful two weeks holiday in Swanage, Dorset, the weather was fantastic, so I'm sporting a rather nice tan !!! I am finding it very hard to fit in any crafting at the moment, with all the rain we've had this week, it's a bit like Widow Twankey's Laundry in my house, lol.

Anyway, I'd like to share a couple of cards I made a few weeks ago, using some unique Visible Image Stamps.

The backgrounds for both cards, were created using the same stamping technique.

On this first card, the stamps I used are......

Inkognito Butterfly and 'Life is a Journey' sentiment, from the 'This is Me' Set.

The background was made using Distress inks, and then over stamped using Versamark and heat embossing with a Black Sparkle Embossing Powder, likewise the sentiment.

And on this card the stamps I used are...

The Baby Stamp Set.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed using white Embossing Powder.

I hope you've created something for the 'Show and Tell', for a chance to win some new Visible Image goodies, click the link for all the details.

Check out the Visible Image Face Book Group too, there's plenty going on there, go on, join in, you know you want to !!!!

Thank you for visiting, normal transmission will resume next week, lol, when I've caught up with house chores, I do love my holidays, but when you leave a Son at home for 2 weeks, there's an awful lot of work to come home to, hehehe !!!!

Visible Image Stamps, Dylusion spray inks, Wow Embossing Powder, Alcohol Inks and Stickles.

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.

And a couple of tags, this one uses....

Time to be Happy, the birds form Free Your Imagination, the smiley face from Robot Data Set and the edge stamp is the free flourish that came with the Craft Stamper magazine.

Last one is......
