This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! 

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made yet another Memory Dex card! They are great little canvasses to work on. 

I have used the set "Time for Christmas' which came out last year. 

After cutting out the Memory Dex card and some stars from the same set I coloured it with Distress Oxide inks. I added some stamping and washitape. Next I printed the images and coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. I arranged everything on the card and glued it down. The stars were put on with dimensional tape. 

You'll find "Time for Christmas' HERE or HERE

Thank you for stopping by today !

Merry Christmas

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a Christmas Card.  As a lot of people know I am not the biggest fan of Christmas and I am really not keen on the traditional red and green. So for this card I chose blues. I think it looks great! 

Here's how:

I cut a card with die #34. This is going to be a card topper to go on a white A6 card. 

After colouring the card with Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass and Blueprint Sketch I used the darker of the two to stencil on the card. I used #232 by Janet Klein.

Next I added a little stamping using sets #338 en #758 with Distress Oxide Ink Tumbled Glass and Versafine Clair Nocturne.

Next I stamped the girl from set #1190 and I made a sentiment from the two text stamps in the same set. I die cut the sentiment with one of the speech bubbles of die set #72.

I coloured the little girl with Copic Markers and then cut her out. 

I adde some washi tape for her to stand on and in the right hand corner for balance. I also added a little white paint with a brush in the area where she is going to be glued. This helps her stand our from the background.

And here she is. I think it turned out nice. 

I have used:

Die #34 - ScyCrossed Paradise by Autour De Mwa & Co

Die #72 - Bubble Talk by Autour De Mwa & Co

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday! 

For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a postcard. I used an older set and it is called "Snow much fun". It came out November last year. 

I used a die to cut out the card and then coloured it with Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool. I used 3 shades of blue. Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire. The snow hills were made with a memory dex die #49 by Janet for AALL & Create; I just used the top. I also die cut some clouds from another Memory Dex die #50. 

I printed the girl in the sleigh, the sun and the sentiment. After colouring with Copic Markers I cut them out. Lastly I arranged everything on the card and glued it down. I also cut out the mat that comes with this card die in a light blue card stock. 

You'll find Snow much fun HERE or HERE

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a Christmas card. It is not a conventional card but in my opinion they are the best ones. 

Here's how:

Fist I cut a card out of Design paper #7 with die #26. 

Next I used a brayer and Distress Oxide ink in Weathered Wood to roll some ink over white card stock. I then stamped some houses from set #1232. 

I wanted to used these houses as a background. I coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks in Weathered Wood and Victorian Velvet. I used a water brush to do this. 

In the end I only used 1 of the images. (The one on the right).

Back to the background. I used a brayer to roll some white paint over the card and also some of the grey Oxide. I then added stamping with sets #1162 and #1156 and Versafine Clair Nocturne and Distress Oxide in Weathered Wood.

I added a rub on from set #12. 

This image was going to be my focal point. I coloured him with Copic Markers and cut him out. 

I just got this washi tape this week so I had to use some of it.. It's #121 Blush Parcels. 

I decided to add a sentiment from this Miss Dee set #1193 - Deelights. I also added splatters with a white paint pen. 

Lastly I added a black mat. 

I have used the following materials:

Die #26 - Frayed Frames 

Design paper #7 - Papyrus Vert by Autour De Mwa & Co

Rub-ons #12 - Coffee Numberistic by Autour De Mwa & Co

Washi tape #121 Blush Parcels by Autour De Mwa & Co

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a Christmassy Memory Dex card in non-traditional colours. I really like this. This image is from a set called "Gingerbread House" which came out this week.

I coloured the card with Distress Oxide inks and added some stencilling, stamping and of course I toned it down with white paint. I also added some rub-ons. 

I printed the girl and coloured her with Copic Markers, then cut her out. I added some washi tape for her to stand on and then glued her down. I also added little strips of the same washi tape under the sentiment. 

You'll find 'Gingerbread House' HERE.

Whatever...

 Hi everyone, 

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

Here's how:

I cut the biggest of the two cards with die set #26 from Designer Paper Pack #11. 

Today I was concentrating on Bipasha's products so used background stamps by her. I used #555 and #457 with Versafine Clair in Twilight and VersaMark with WOW embossing powder 'Metallic Copper'. 

The embossing powder looks really cool and metallic. 

Next I added some of the ephemera pack #65. I really like this steampunk/vintage collection. I had to cut some of the pieces to make them fit but that was just part of the fun. 

For the focal image I wanted to use this little kitten. I got rid of the hat by masking it off and drawing in the very top of his head. I also stamped him on the card directly so I could cut off all the little hairs of his fur. 

Finally I chose one the the ephemera stickers from set #52 as a sentiment. I think it turned out cool!.

I have used:

Design Paper #11 - Rusty Rhythms by Bipasha Bk

Die #26 - Frayed Frames

Ephemera:

#65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk

#52 - Comic Tags by Autour De Mwa & Co

Stamps:

#457 - Background Voices by Bipasha Bk

#555 - Lined Plus by Bipasha Bk

#1138 - Macaron Mountain by Bipasha Bk

Washi tape #106 - Bolted Borders by Bipasha Bk

Other materials:

Versafine Clair - Twilight 

Versamark Embossing ink 

Memento Tuxedo Black - for Copic Colouring

WOW embossing powder - Metallic Copper

Watercolour Marker and water brush for shading

Copic Markers

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday!

For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a Memory Dex card with the newly released set "Belle Pepper'. 

I printed her and coloured her with Copic Markers. I cut her out and then prepared the background. I used a piece of Design paper and cut out the card. I added some paint, rub-ons and stamping. I also cut out a label from the same Design Paper set. 

When I was happy I placed her on the card, added a piece of string to the label and adhered that too. 

You'll find Belle Pepper HERE

Stay in balance

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a Memory Dex card. I cut it from one of my favourite papers from the paperback #5. I love how it came out:

Here's how I made it:

I cut the card from paperback #5. This is my favourite design in the pack. I use it sparingly! lol

I toned it down a little with a brayer and white paint and then added some stamping using Janet's sets #338 and #692. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne for that. 

Next I added some pieces of rub-on, concentrating on the blue bits of set #3. I thought it needed a little blue. 

Next I stamped the little tightrope walker and coloured her with Copic markers. I then cut her out. 

I used one of the lines of the second page of these rub-ons #12 to act as a tightrope. 

and there it is. I added a sentiment from stamp set #1208 which I coloured with a blue Copic Marker at the bottom. 

I think it came out super-cute !

I have used:

Die #47 - Floral Parade 

Design Paper #5 - Citrus Rainbow by Autour De Mwa & Co

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

Rub-ons #12 Coffee Numberistic by Autour De Mwa & Co
