A new era of imagination

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a card I made for AALL & Create. I used some of Bipasha's new Steampunk Collection for this. I really like the vintage vibe. 


Here's how I made it:


I started off with a piece of the Bipasha's Design Paper (#11). I didn't cut it down because I didn't want to lose the dark areas along the sides. 


I added some stamping with parts of stamps #1225 - #443 and #568. 


Next I added some Rub-ons from sets #5 and #12. 


I love this Ephemera #65 and glued some of that on too. It is getting busy !!!! 


I stamped the phone with the flower from set #1225 to colour and cut out. This is my focal point. 


I then put down some washi tape here and there. and some brown splatters. I also put some staples through the Ephemera. 


And here is the finished project. I like all the browns and greys because besides bright colours I also love Vintage. I should do it more often! 



I have used the following materials:


Design Paper #11 - Rusty Rhythms by Bipasha Bk
Ephemera #65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk
Washi tape #39 - Scriptual by Bipasha Bk
Rub-ons:
#5 - Acid Blends by Autour De Mwa & Co
#12 - Coffee Numberistic by Autour De Mwa & Co
Stamps:
#443 - Scripted Circles by Bipasha Bk
#568 - ABCs by Bipasha Bk
#1162 - Cirque by Autour De Mwa & Co
#1225 - Lens & Lines by Bipasha Bk

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday! 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a 6 x 6 journal page. I have used 'Halloween Moon' which came out this week. 


I printed the images then coloured them with Copic Markers. I cut them out and then die cut the houses at the back out of pattern paper. This is a die by AALL & Create called 'Building Sihouettes" #58. I cut off the bottom because I wanted them lower. I added some stamping and I 'turned on the lights' by gluing yellow paper behind the windows and also by just colouring some of them through the holes. The paper at the bottom is also pattern paper from my stash and was also randomly stamped and inked around the edges. The houses and the ground were then glued on yet another piece of pattern paper which is dark blue to represent the night sky. I did ink the edges with black Distress Oxide ink.  When I was happy with the background I added the images and the sentiment.

Zombies eat brains...

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made another memory dex card. They are great for small projects. 


Here's how I made it:


I cut the memory dex card out of a gelli print that I made with this stencil (#77). 


I used die #49 for this. 


I added some pieces of this set of Rub-ons #12. Just here and there because I didn't want to obscure the stencil shape too much. 


I also added a little bit of stamping. 


I found the green bottle in this ephemera pack and then got an uncoloured one to make it go with my scene. In this case I coloured it orange. 


I stamped Frankie (Frank n Bride #1200), then coloured him and cut him out. 


Added a few pieces of washi tape (#61)


Here it is all put together. I added one of the sentiments of Ephemera Pack Laughing Lines (#47).



I have used the following materials:

Stamps:
#1156 - Numero Uno by Autour De Mwa & Co
#1200 - Frank n Bride by Janet Klein
#494 - X or O by Janet Klein

Ephemera:
#64 - Tricksters Elixirs by Janet Klein

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday !

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a Memory Dex card with the newly released Pepo's Pumpkins. 


I used a brayer to colour the card with acrylic paints. AI added a little bit of stencilling at the bottom and some stamping randomly. I printed the images then coloured with Copic Markers and cut them out. I added some washi tape across the card and glued the images down. I added a snarky sentiment and that finished it off. 

You'll find Pepo in the shop HERE or HERE

Take Risks

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a card. I was inspired by the colours of the Rub-ons I received in my latest Guest Design Team package. 


Here's how I made it:


I started off with cutting out the 2 cards of of this die set. 


I added purple, ochre and gold acrylic paint to the card and then stamped the butterfly on it. I also stamped the butterfly on a piece of watercolour card to colour. This way I can cut off all the small details of the painted on and glue it over the top. 


Next I added some rub-ons from set #12. These colours insprired the card. 


Next I stamped here and there using stamp sets #489 and #1110. 


I added some pieces of washi tape #31.


This is the butterfly coloured (with watercolour markers) and cut out, glued over the top of the stamped one on the card. I added some white splatters for more interest. 


Next I stuck some washi tape (#30) along the edges of the larger card. I really should have done this before die cutting as it would have been much easier. 


So here is the finished card matted on the larger card which has the washi tape and matted again on a piece of black card stock that I cut myself and rounded the corners. 
I think it looks very warm and Autumnal. 




Die: 
#26 - Frayed Frames

Stamps:
#489 - Wisecracks by Autour De Mwa
#1110 - Time Heals All by Autour De Mwa & Co
#1173 - Petalled Wings by Autour De Mwa & Co

Rub-ons:

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! 

Fot today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made another Memory Dex card. They are fantastic little canvasses. 


I used a piece of Design Paper by AALL & Create to cut out the Memory Dex Card. They die is also by AALL & Create. I printed Emily Anne and the leaves and sentiment and coloured them. I then cut everything out. I thought a few clouds would be nice so I die cut those out too. I used another piece of Design Paper by AALL & Create. I did tone down the background with white paint and a brayer as I thought it was too busy.  I then assembled everything and I think it came out nice. 

You'll find Emily Anne Autumn HERE

Who's your Mummy?

Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a card. It has a Halloween theme and what I like about that is that you can have clashing colours!! haha. So I have used purples, oranges, a bit of red and green. 


Here's how:


I cut a card with Die #34 and coloured it with Distress Oxide inks. 


Next, I printed stencil #146 on the card using black Oxide ink. 


I stamped one of the spiders from stamp set #1198 on the web on places where there was a bit of white so you can still see their eyes. 


Next I stamped Dee and coloured her with Copic Markers. I then cut her out.


I added some washi tape (#60) and white paint to make Dee stand out more. 


Lastly I cut the mat with die #34 and glued the finished card on it. 


Here she is in all her glory! 



I have used:

Die #34 - SkyCrossed Paradise
Stencil #146 - Reverse Cobweb by Bipasha Bk
Stamp #1198 - Dee of Darkness by Janet Klein
Epemera #64 - Tricksters Elixers by Janet Klein
Washi tape #60 - Melon Seeds
