Visible Image stamps, Brusho's, Wow Embossing Powder, Embossing paste & Glitter.

Helloooooo,

I hope you are all well, it's Fabulous Friday, so my day to share some crafty inspiration, using some of the fantastic Visible Image products that are available.

Today it's a simple card, but with a very important message.

The stamps I used were..........

The sentiment is Create an Escape, the butterfly from Own kind of Beautiful, and the stencil is Cosmic Skies.

The background is made with Brusho's, which I dabbed on with a paintbrush, sprinkles some salt over it, and left it to dry, then brushed all the salt off.

I placed the stencil over the dried background, used a palette knife to put some translucent paste through it, removed the stencil, then sprinkled glitter over whilst it was wet.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white EP, onto a offcut of card that had been coloured with Brusho's. I heat embossed the butterfly with white EP, onto white card, fussy cut it, then coloured it with Distress Inks, and added some Stardust Stickles.

Visible Image Stamps and Stencils, Distress Oxides and Wow Embossing Powders.

Hi there,

It's Fabulous Friday, so time for me to share something I've created, using some of the awesome Visible Image goodies available.

Again it's a card for a man, people say that men are very hard to create for, but Visible Image have that covered, with some fantastic Stamp sets, and also some new stencils.

On this card, the 2 stamp sets I used were.......

Feel The Beat and Rock Out,

and the 2 stencils.... Grungy Union Jack and Strobes.

I took a square piece of white card, placed the Union Jack stencil on it, and blended through it, using three Oxide inks, Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean and Twisted Citron, after removing the stencil, I spritzed it with water, and let it run. Then after drying it, I placed on the second stencil, with the middle of it at the top of the card, and the strobes radiating down, and blended through it with Salty Ocean.

When it was dry, I stamped the Drummer, and the Rock Out with Versamark, and heat embossed the drummer using Black EP, and the Rock Out with white EP. I grounded the drummer, by adding a darker band underneath him.

Using the devils horn hand, from Rock Out, I stamped with Seedless Preserve Oxide ink, and gently coloured them in in the same colour.

I hope you'll visit the 'Visible Image' Shop, and see the whole range of goodies available HERE.

The background is blended Distress Inks, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed, then flicked with water, I put the stencil over the top, and inked through it with Chipped Sapphire, I stamped the Son definition onto a piece of white card using Versamark, and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder, I inked the edges, and placed the stencil on it, and inked through one guitar person, using Candid Apple. I went around all the edges of the background, and the definition with Versamark, and heat embossed with a silver sparkle EP.

Vicible Image Stamps, Brusho's, Distress Inks & Wow Embossing Powders.

Hello everyone,

It's Fabulous Friday again, and time for me to share some 'Visible Image' Love. Well, I was so excited to receive some of the awesome new Visible Image stencils to play with, it will give an awesome new dimension to the already fantastic 'Visible Image' stamp designs,

well done Mark Alexander (designer extraordinaire).

This card was created using Brusho's, and the stencil I used was Fibres, and the stamps I used were Sing and Disguise of a Smile.

After sprinkling yellow and red Brusho's onto the card, spritzing it with water, and adding more Brusho, to get a nice intense colour, drying it, then using the stencil, I went over the whole card with Festive Berries Distress Ink, using a blending tool, this gave a nice 'Hot' feeling. I stamped the microphone using Oxide ink, but it sort of disappeared into the background, lol, again I dried it all.

I stamped the beautiful singer using Versamark, and heat embossed her with Black Glint EP, I also did the same with the top words. I felt the new 'Disguise of a Smile' sentiment went quite well with this image, and I heat embossed it with White powder. To finish off, using a quickie glue pen, and glitter, I gave her a sparkly dress.
