Visible image Stamps, Wow Embossing Powders, Versamark and Stickles

Hi again,

It's Fabulous Friday, and my day to share a little Visible Image love, 

this is a rather large 10" tall black tag, and I've used the awesome Dare to Swim stamp set on it.

I stamped the small fishes with Versamark, and heat embossed them, using three blues of embossing powders.  

The bubbles were stamped using a white ink pad, and the seaweed heat embossed with green powder. I then stamped the jellyfish with Versamark and heat embossed with a yellow powder, the sentiment was done in the same way.

I coloured the jellyfish using Stickles, and gave it a glow using a white crayon.

Lavinia Stamps, Distress Inks & Stickles.

Hi there,

 just popping in to tell you about the stonking new Lavinia Stamp designs, hand drawn by our very own extremely talented Tracey Dutton, (owner and designer of Lavinia Stamps).

I have only made a couple of cards using some of the new stamps so far, they are so exciting......

These stamps are so new, that you can only get them from the Lavinia Stand at the NEC this weekend, A36, so do visit. Just look at the fabulous Green Man, in 2 sizes, and his leaves, which are separate stamps, so can be used in various ways.

The Trees/tall flowers are superb, as are the houses and Fairy Inn, all separate stamps, also the cobbles, such a great addition, You will love them all, as I do !!!!!

Hugs, Pauline xxxxxx

Visible Image Stamps, Pebeo Dyna Acrylic paints, Brusho Crystal Paints, Wow Embossing Powder, Imagination Crafts Starlight Paints.

Hello there,

It's Fabulous Friday, and because I was ill last week, and wasn't able to share anything, you get two projects this week, a bonus eh !!!!!

They are both created using some of the awesome new stamp sets available from Visible Image, the first project is using the fantastic Dare to Swim set, there are such a fabulous array of extra stamps in this set, I love it........

I found this paddle thing in my MDF stash, and thought it would be perfect for an underwater scene, so using some acrylic paints I painted the background, then added the little fishes and  the sentiment using Versamark and heat embossed with some Blue sparkle Embossing powder. I also popped some bubbles randomly around using some white ink. The jelly fish and the seaweed were stamped onto heat resistant acetate with Versamark, and heat embossed using different colours of Embossing powder, then fussy cut. I painted on the back of the jellyfish, using Starlight paints.

Stay Wild, for this very somple card I used the great Stay Wild set, a must for horse lovers...

I started off making a background with some Brusho paints, then stamped the jumping horse with Versamark, and heat embossed it with white powder, I also did the same for the sentiment.

On top of the white embossing, I sprinkled some frantage powder, and some other powders, and heated from underneath, this gave a sort of splashed look.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress Inks, Wow Embossing powder, Stickles & Glitter.

Hellooooo,

I hope you have all survived the wrath of 'Doris' yesterday, 

as one of my friends commented, 

if we can find out where she lives, we can issue her with all the claim forms for  the damage she caused, whilst flying around on her broomstick !!!!

I've used another of those awesome new 'Visible Image' Stamp sets for my share for this week, the beautiful 'Born to Perform' set.

I have kept it quite plain, as I wanted the ballerina to really stand out, so I stamped the image using Versamark, and heat embossed it using black embossing powder, then just using a couple of colours of Distress ink, I blended them around her. I added the stars and the sentiments, again heat embossing with black.

Then came the fun bit, blinging it up, lol..... Stardust Stickles inside the stars, and on top of the Tutu, whilst the Stickles are still wet, I added soome different coloured glitters.

Visible Image Stamps, Distress inks, and Wow Embossing Powder.

Hello,

It's fabulous Friday again, and my turn to share a creation using some if the awesome new stamp sets from Visible Image Stamps.

I've used a couple of sets on this card......

Curious Cats and Create It.

I am totally in love with the Curios Cats set, such a gorgeous face..... anyway, I decided to make a scene background, using Distress Inks, I blended the ink, added a couple of trees from the 'Create It' set, and used the ends of the whiskers for the grass. I stamped the two small cats in the foreground, using Black Versafine, then stamped the pussy's face and the sentiment with Versamark, and heat embossed using Black Glint Embossing powder by Wow.

I bleached out the eyes and nose, and coloured them with Distress inks.

Lastly I added a bit of contour to the face, using a pencil.
