Helloooooo,

It's fabulous Friday, and I'm here to share some Visible Image love with you, a card I made some time ago, using some fabulous stamps.....

The stamp sets I used on this card were.......

Mr Bone Jangles, Own kind of Beautiful, 

and the birds from Learn to Fly again for the images,

 the stamps used on the background were......

Universal, Mesh-allaneous and the sound-wave stamp from Music Speaks.

The skull, butterfly heart and the sentiment were all stamped and heat embossed with black embossing powder, then coloured using Distress Inks, and fussy cut.

The background is blended Distress Inks, and lots of stamping using different colours, then washed over using a water and gesso mix. I stamped the Birds with an Black archival ink, then placed all the images on the background using 3D Glue Gel.

Visible Image Stamps, Wow Embossing Powder, Distress Inks & Stickles.

Hellooooo,

I'm back with my usual weekly DT inspiration for 'Visible Image', using a couple of awesome stamp sets, Where Dreams Take You  and Live Life Now.

I stamped the fabulous eye, using Versamark, and heat embossed it using a Wow Red powder, yummy. I stamped the eye again with black ink, onto a sticky note, and fussy cut it out, I placed this mask over the embossed eye, and coloured the background using Distress Inks. I then stamped the 'Go where your Dreams take you', again using Distress ink. 

 I stamped the small butterflies with Versamark, and heat embossed them with the red powder, I then took the mask off, and coloured the Iris, and put a bit of shading into the corner of the eye. The 'Vision' sentiment was stamped with Versamark, onto a separate piece of card, and again heat embossed using the Red powder, and fussy cut.

I used Stickles, to bling up the butterflies, and to put a twinkle in the eye.

Visible Image Stamps, Brusho's, Distress Inks, & Wow Embossing Powder

Hi there,

I've created a tag, for my Visible Image Stamps inspiration this week, using one of the awesome stamp sets available, it is also in the sale...

 Just to let you know, they the Visible Image mega Black Friday sale, has started, it finishes on Monday at Midnight, stocks permitting, but don't dally if you want a particular Stamp set, as they will fly out.

The stamp set I used was.......

Capture the Moment

I used Brusho's for the background, sprinkled and spritzed, and when dry, I stamped and heat embossed the 'Smile' sentiment, which comes in the set, with Wow red Embossing powder. 

I stamped the sensational 'Camera', 5 times, and heat embossed them with Black Embossing Powder, I then fussy cut them, reducing the size each time, to decoupage them. I coloured the red bit in with a Sharpie pen.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Black Embossing powder, and fussy cut, matt and layered onto red and black card.

I used some acrylic glue around the edges of the tag, and sprinkled some black micro beads, and left to dry, before adding the camera, and the sentiment using 3D glue gel.

Still a few days left to get you entries into the Visible Image 'Show & Tell, also take a look at the beautiful entries that are already in the album.......HERE.
