This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For my project for Vera Lane Studio, the last one for this year, I have made a postcard with two older sets. The moon came from 'Cute Couple' and the girl is from thee set 'Wintery Things'.


The background was made with a gelli plate and acrylic paint. The images were coloured with Copic Markers and glued in place. Lastly I added some Clippings Stickers by Tim Holtz. 

You'll find the images in the Etsy Shop HERE.

If sold out they will be available on request.

Hope this brightens your day

 Hello everyone, 

I hope you are all enjoying a lovely Christmas! 

This is the last post for AALL & Create for 2023. The year has gone by so quickly! 

I have made a small journal page sized 5" x 7" with all products by Bipasha Bk.


Here is how :


Firstly I put this gorgeous washi tape together on a piece of tissue paper. Isn't it beautiful? So clever.


I wanted to use this bird and one of the little flowers. I added some more colour over them to make them a little brighter. 


Next, I stamped and coloured this cactus. I used watercolours this time. I then cut it out. 


For the background I used some watercolour paper and I dunked the different sides into Distress Oxide inks which I smooshed on my craft mat en spritzed with water. After I was happy and it was dry I added the stencilling with the same inks and a blending tool.


I then stamped the background here and there.


and added some washi tape. These pieces are actually the rest of where I cut the bird and the flower out. I peeled it off the tissue and glued it down on my page. 


I used this older set for the sentiment. 


Here it is all put together. I like it !

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a mini journal page. I have used an older image this week but she is still available if you want her ! 


For this page I did a stencil print. I rubbed Distress Oxide ink in Broken Chine and Distress Ink in Fired Brick onto a stencil. I then spritzed with water and put it onto my page. I got this pattern which I think is nice. I then stamped a little using stamp set #948 (Define Christmas) by Janet for AALL & Create. I used the same inks.  I added a piece of washi tape for Dee to stand on and lastly put the sentiment down. Dee was coloured with Copic Markers. 

You'll find Dee's Feast HERE

Oh Deer, it's Christmas

 Hello everyone,

For today's AALL & Create DT project I have made another 6 x 6 card. This time I have used stamps by Abs and a few by Janet. 



Here's how I made this:


I really like this dear stamp but I didn't like the star on its forehead. So I decided to mask it off. 


I coloured him with watercolours;  also stamped a little party hat and painted that as well. I then cut everything out.


The sentiment which I separated. 


I painted a 6 x 6 with very light paint and added a stencil print with Distress Oxide ink. 


Some stamping...


Some more stamping an a few bits of washi tape. 


And here it is, all put together.

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a tag. I have used Matilda 2024. Janet brings out Matilda every year obviously with a new year. There are 3 Matilda's in this set together with a new year's greeting. 



I cut a tag from watercolour paper and used a die. I then dunked the tag into Distress Oxide Inks until I was happy. I printed and coloured Matilda with Copic Markers, then cut her out. I glued her onto the tag after adding some washi tape by Janet for AALL & Create. Lastly I added the sentiment.

Next, I cut a tag and gave it some colour with Distress Oxide in Antique Linen. I then stamped the flower stem from this set with VersaFine Clair.

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a postcard with the newly released 'Christmas Whiskers'. 


For the background I made a gelli print with acrylic paint and a stencil by AALL & Create. I added some white paint over the top to tone it down and used a white pen to trace some of the stars. I then stamped the background here and there and added the washi tape which is by Janet for AALL & Create. The cat & basket were printed and coloured with Copic Markers and then cut out.

Rise and shine

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a journal page using another Miss Dee image. This one is from one of the latest releases by Janet Klein and she is called Farmer Dee. I love all the different guises she has.


Here's how I made this:


I made the background with my gelli plate. It was dirty and had some left over paint on it. So I added some more paint in green, blue, yellow and a fuchsia colour, let it dry and rolled over a layer of white paint, then pulled a print. I didn't expect it to come out this nice but when it did I decided to use it for this project. I added some stencilling, again with white paint. and toned it down slightly. 


Next I stamped the images I was going to use. I wanted more chickens on the page but I wanted some looking the other way so I used a small gelli plate to reverse the image. You stamp the image on the gelli plate and then put the paper on and roll over with a brayer. Make sure not to press too hard when stamping. 


I added stamping to my background using similar colours plus grey and black. 


I fancied doing some watercolouring today so that's what I did. I think it came out nice. 


I added a small sliver of washy tape for Miss Dee and the chickens to stand on.


And here it is all together. I think it came out nice ! 




I have used the following products: (all by Janet Klein)
Stencil #187 - Naughty Crosses
Washi tape # 36 - Filigree
Stamps:
#1031 - Farmer Dee
#758 - Hidden Words
#523 - Flower Pops
#692 - African Dreams
