Hi there,

I'm back to share some Visible Image inspiration with you,

It's a simple tag, I love tags, because they can be so quick to make, and there's no pressure, lol !!!!

The stamp set I used is.......Leave your Fears.

I used Brusho's on the background, sprinkling and sprizing, then holding the tag on it's side to drip down. I stamped using Versamark ink, and heat embossed with Black EP. The sentiment was heat embossed onto a small piece of card, again after Brusho's had been dripped down it. The Viscose ribbon ( American Seam Binding) was coloured using Distress Inks. Simple, I hope you'll give it a go.

Hi there Crafty Friends,

It's Fabulous Friday and time for me to share a creation I've made,

 using some fantastic Visible Image Stamps.

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

Wake Up Awesome, Forest Background and Butterfly.

I started off by sprinkling some Brusho's on a piece of card, spritzing with water, then layering up more Brusho's and water for a nice intense look, then dried it totally. 

I stamped the sentiment using Versamark onto this piece of card, then heat embossed it using white powder,and cut the card to the size I wanted. I decided at this stage that I wanted it to be very glossy, so using the Versamark pad I completely covered the card, and heat embossed using clear powder, and did this twice more.

On a small piece of card, I stamped the butterfly using black ink, coloured it using a paintbrush and Brusho's, then added Stickles on top for the bling factor.

Finally for the background, I stamped the tree's using Distress inks, then added some more Stickles as blossom.

 Do get your Visible Image creations into the November Show & Tell, there's a chance for you to win some stamps of your choice from the website, so it's well worth a go, and you will inspire others to join in too.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, & Wow Embossing Powders.

Hello,

I had a fabulous time at the NEC on the Visible Image Stand, thank you to those who came and got inky with me, I met so many lovely Crafters.

Today I'd like to share with you, another Christmas card, created using some gorgeously unique Visible Image Stamps.

The stamps used are........

Merry Christmas and Poinsettia Set.

I stamped the sentiment in different coloured Distress inks, to form the background, going over some of it with a quickie glue pen and glitter, which unfortunately doesn't show on my photo.

 I stamped the Poinsettia with Versamark, onto vellum, and heat embossed with a Red sparkle EP, and fussy cut, the leaves were done in the same way, but using Green sparkle EP. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed onto white card, again using the red sparkle EP.

 I cut a length of acetate, and made a band around the card topper, a little longer than the topper, so's that it arched off the card, onto which I attached the finished flower and the sentiment, with 3D glue gel, to give dimension.

I hope you've popped a card into the Show & Tell, just make sure you only use Visible Image Stamps, for a chance to win some new ones of your choice.

Take a look in the Visible Image Facebook group, for daily inspiration, and good banter.....HERE.

Thank you for dropping in,

Visible Image Stamps, Brusho's, Wow Embossing Powder and Angelina Fibres.

Helloooo,

I hope you are all well,

just a quickie today, a card I made for one of my recent workshops, I do love passing on techniques.

 The unique stamps I've used, are designed and made by hand,

 by Mark and Helen at Visible Image,

they both work very hard, and are very passionate about their Company and their fabulous stamps.

I used Brusho's for the background, along with spray starch and cling film, such a cool vibrant outcome, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark, mixing 2 colours of sparkle Embossing powder, before heating to set. The Image is made using Angelina Fibres, placed ontop of the stamp which has Versamark on, then ironed, such a fab technique, and finally fussy cut.

If you are going to the NEC next week, do pop along to the Visible Image Stand, B09 where you meet Helen and Mark, see some of the stunning stamps available, also see loads of inspirational DT work, and you will also see me, I am doing 'Make & Takes', but get in early to book your place as they are limited.
