Boo!

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a memory dex card. 

Here's how I made it:

I cut out a memory dex card using die #50

I coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks and then printed stencil #146 on it. I rubbed the stencil with the green Oxide ink pad, spritzed it with water and laid it on the card. I dabbed the excess off with kitchen paper and then had the impression on the card.

I also added a little stamping with sets: #470 and  #956

Some rub-ons from set #5

Next I stamped the cat on the card and on whit card stock ready to colour with Copic Markers. 

Here I glued him down on the card. 

I added some shading where he was sitting, I used a coloured pencil for this and also added the sentiment which came from set #1203.

Stencil #146 - Reverse Cobweb by Bipasha Bk

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone, 

Welcome and happy Thursday !

For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made another Memory Dex card. This time I have used the newly released set "Bananas". 

I made the background on the gelli plate using acrylic paint and a stencil. I then added ink to the edges to make it look a little old. I stamped a little here and there and added washi tape. After printing and colouring the images I cut them out and arranged them on the card. The sentiment is from the same set,

The village idiot

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a Memory Dex card I made for AALL & Create. The size of these cards is so fun as they are small so not intimidating. I know I get overwhelmed by big empty pages sometimes. So this format is fantastic. 

Here's how I made this:

I stamped the car with the mouse in it by masking parts of the car off after stamping.

Next I cut out this card out of a gelli print from my stash. 

After colouring the car + mouse looked like this. I used watercolours this time for something different. I also like the shabby look it has. 

I inked the edges of the card with green and brown Distress Oxide ink, splattered some water on it and dabbed it off. It gave this aged look which I really like. I then added some stamping on the card. (I stamped the card to get the antenna, this way I could just cut it off the coloured image.) 

I added some rub-ons. It's getting very busy ! lol

I added washi tape for the car to 'drive' on. I like how you can read the word 'rebel'. Lastly I added a sentence from the Ephemera pack #47 called Laugh Lines. 

I have used:

Die #48 - Bloom Bonanza

Rub-on #5 - Acid Blends by Autour De Mwa & Co

Ephemera #47 - Laugh Lines by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stencil #171 - Circle Dance by Janet Klein

Washi tape #31 - Take Risks by Autour De Mwa

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday! 

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a journal page. 

I have used Dracula and Mina, they were released this week. 

The background is made with a mop up print from the gelli plate, I just added some stencilling and stamping. I printed and coloured the images and then cut them out. I put down some washi tape and then assembled the page. Some doodling and an ephemera heart finished it off.

You'll find Dracula & Mina HERE

I'll keep the frog

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a square card. 

Here's how I made it:

I cut out this card with die #42. I used white card stock.

Next I put yellow and green paint on my gel press plate and laid this stencil (#171) on it. I then covered everything with a piece of typing paper and took off all the paint inside the open spaces by rubbing it with my hands. Next I removed the typing paper, leaving the stencil in place and used a blending tool to add light blue paint where I just removed the yellow and green. 

This is how it came out. 

I also cut the larger of the two dies. This is going to be the mat. 

After toning the print down with a brayer and white paint I stamped it randomly using these stamp sets. 

Also adding some bits of rub-on here and there. 

The images I was going to use were stamped next and I coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. 

I places some pieces of washi tape, later adding one piece more where the frog was going to go. 

and here it is all put together! 

I have used the following AALL & Create products:

Die #42 - Papyrus Essence

Rub-on #3 - Greeny Meanies by Autour De Mwa & Co

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday!

For today's Vera Lane Studio project, I have made another Memory Dex card. I used Florence Nightingale, she was released this week. 

I printed the images and coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. I die cut a memory dex card (designed by Janet for AALL & Create) and a few sprigs. I used one to put the owl on. 

The background was made by brayering Versafine Inks over it. I stamped the background and then toned it all down with white paint. I added some washi tape and placed Florence on it. Lastly I added the sprigs, the owl and the sentiment. 

You'll find Florence HERE or HERE

Party in a letter

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a round card made for AALL & Create. I fancied using bright colours so I dug out my Distress Oxide sprays and used those. I love how they mingle and mix. I just totally forgot I had them... happens to all of us, doesn't it? 😅

Here's how I made this:

I die cut the biggest circle out of watercolour paper. 

I coloured the circle with Distress Oxide Sprays. I used yellow, green, orange and pink. I then added stamping with black ink and some heat embossed circles. I also splattered some white acrylic paint on it using a marker. 

Next, more stamping, this time I used the same-ish colours as the background. I like the subtlety of it. 

I added some washi tape, looking at the colours of it more than the pattern. 

I planned to use white and black washi tape to put the images on but decided to use this die cut border. 

Next I stamped and coloured the images. I used Copic Markers for the colouring. I stamped some extra grass, this is just the bottom of the letter box cut off. 

And here she is all put together. I added the sentiment from the stamp set and doodled around the words with a black pen. 

I have used the following AALL & Create products:

Dies:

#38 - Counting Circles

#51 - Majestic Borders

Washi tape:

#52 Blush by Janet Klein

#61 Harvest Time by Janet Klein

Stamps:

#489 - Wisecracks by Autour De Mwa
