Visible Image Stamps, Brusho's, Wow Embossing powder, Versafine Ink & Stampendous Frantage.




Hi there,

Just popping in to share a card, made using an awesome, new stamp set from Visible Image.

The stamp set I used is.........
 one of my personal faves !!!!

.


I made the background using Brusho's, sprinkle the paint crystals and spritz with water, it gave me a moody background, perfect for a rainy day.


Using some Black, and some White Frantage, I sprinkled it over the background and heat embossed from underneath.
I stamped the lady into a separate piece of card, using a red Versafine Ink, then added some glue and gilding flake onto her umbrella, and red Stickles onto the lady, leaving her legs free, when she was dry I fussy cut her.


I stamped the sentiment, added some gilding flake and some Stickles to 'Sparkle', and cut them out and mounted them onto red card.

Do take a look at the fantastic new stamp sets, some of them were aired on Create & Craft TV last Sunday HERE, and thank you for watching us and for your support in the sell outs.

Visible Image Stamps, Candy Box Crafts 'Boxette', Viva Chalk Paints, Archival Ink, Grungepaste, Gilding wax & Gilding flake.



Hello,
I was lucky enough to have a project I'd created showcased, in the March 'Craft Stamper' magazine, it's so exciting to see my work in a publication.
 I was asked by Helen and Mark (aka Visible Image), to use one of their awesome new stamp sets, on a multi media project, so I chose a
 'Candy Box Crafts' fabulous 'Boxette' to work with, here is the result.

The stamp set I used was......Learn to Fly Again


I painted all the components of the Boxette with a coat of dark blue chalk paint, waited until it was dry then added a coat of pale blue chalk paint, when it was all dry I rubbed the paint down using a fine grade sand paper, which exposed the darker paint in places, giving it a bit of a shabby look.


Using a combination of gilding flake glue and Navy Archival Ink, I stamped all the pieces of MDF, using all three of the stamps in the set, and added Gold Gilding Flake to the gluey bits.


Using a stencil and some Grunge paste, I added bits of detail here and there on each piece, whilst still wet wet, I added fine glitter. 
After it was dry, I glued together all the components, making up the boxette.


To finish off the box, I went around all the edges with gold Gilding wax, and added a little Stardust Stickles for a bit of extra sparkle.

Don't forget that Mark and I are on the telebox on this 
Sunday (Valentines Day) 14th February, at 10am,
 We will be showcasing 6 brand new Stamp Sets, and the MDF Monoliths,
 showing you some techniques,
 and giving you ideas of how you could decorate them.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, Heat Resistant Acetate & Wow Embossing Powder.



Hi there,
I'm back again with a tag I've made, using an awesome set of Visible Image Stamps. his one of the brand new designs, that are ready to pre-order now.

The set I've used on this tag is 'Learn to Fly Again'.


I used Distress inks for the background of the tag, the brighter the better, lol, and blended them together. I stamped the birds onto heat resistant acetate, using Versamark, then heat embossed using a gold sparkle embossing powder. I cut the acetate close to the outside birds and attached it to the tag with 3D gel.


On a separate piece of card, I stamped the feather in various colours to match the background, and a few in the same gold embossing powder, I then fussy cut them all, then made a nest with some corrugated kraft card and garden twine, and added some gold glitter too.


The sentiment was stamped onto Kraft card using Versamark, and heat embossed with white embossing powder, and torn around, I added some tacky glue, and some gold glitter to make it pop.

Pop over the the webshop and check out all the fantastic new Visible Image designs HERE.

Mark and I will be demoing some of them on Create & Craft TV, on Sunday 14th February (Yep, Valentines Day) at 10am.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, Wow Embossing powder



Hello,

It was the 15th Anniversary, of my partner's and my first date a few days ago, and this is the  card I made him, using a set of awesome, brand new Visible Image stamps that are available for pre-order on Saturday 30th Jan, pop over to the webshop and see what else is available HERE.


The stamps I used are SoulmatesBronte ScriptCrackled Background and the feathers and birds from the new 'Learn to Fly Again' set.

I took a piece of Centura Pearl card, and using the mat side, I added a length of masking tape 2/3rds down, and worked on the top first.
 I stamped the script using Versamark, and heat embossed with Clear powder. I then blended 'Abandoned Coral' Distress ink over the embossing. 
With a Quickie glue pen and some gilding flake, I added some gold highlights.
Now to the bottom 1/3rd of the card, I stamped the Crackled stamp with 'Abandoned Coral', then blended around the edges with 'Peacock Feathers'. I stamped the sentiment with Black Versafine ink, and added two birds in 'Peacock Feathers'.



I die cut two hearts, and whilst they were still in the die, I blended 'Peacock Feathers around the edges, and stamped the script with the same ink. Using  'Abandoned Coral' with the Feather and Birds out of the new set, I stamped onto the hearts, and again added a bit of gilding flake with the glue pen.
To finish off, I added a string bow.

It's Fabulous Friday, and time for me to share a creation I made,using Visible Image Stamps.

Unfortunately, I had to make a sympathy card for a friend, never a nice thing to do, but these lovely stamps came to my rescue, and I kept it nice, simple and quick, almost 'clean and simple'.


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

I stamped the Inkognito Butterfly using Black Versafine onto white card, then blended Picked Raspberry Distress ink lightly around the edges I mixed some of the same coloured ink with water, and flicked it over the card.
  I stamped the Large Butterfly onto another piece of card, using Versamark, and heat embossed using Black detail powder, fussy cut it, then coloured it using Distress Inks and a water brush.


I stamped the sentiment using Black Versafine ink.



I put a paper middle inside the card too, using the beautiful verse that comes in the the sentiment set.
