Plant a garden, plant happiness

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a set of three ATC's made with products by Tracy Evans for AALL & Create. 

Here's how:

I dunked the cards in Distress Oxide inks and when dry added some stenciling.

Next, stamping. Not too much.

The image and sentiment I stamped to use. 

I decided to keep the flowers light. I added yellow, white and orange dots to the hearts as they are almost black when stamped. I used Posca Paint pens for this. The petals are a very pale blue to suggest that the flowers are white. 

Added a few pieces of washi tape. 

Lastly I matted the cards on black card stock. 

All products I have used are by Tracy Evans:

Washi tape #41 - Kaleidoscopic

Stencil #178 - Crisp Tulips

Stamps:

#262 - M E S H 

#757 - Tickets

#978 - Hexapetalistic

 Hello everyone, 

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made an ATC and a postcard. 

How cute are this gnome and his pet sheep? I printed them, coloured them and cut them out. I used a background from my stash and added some stamping and a piece of washi tape to put them on. I glued them down, the gnome in front of the sheep and added the sentiment. Judging by their facial expressions they don't agree with it... lol

You'll find the Gnomes and Sheep HERE. 

This postcard was made with the set "Starlight' that came out a little while ago. 

I printed, coloured and cut her out. I found this background in my stash and added some orange ink to it. I also rolled some white paint over it and stamped it randomly. I added some splatters and some washi tape, some doodling lines and a punched out scallop. I then placed her on top. The sentiment was matted on black card and adhered too. 

You'll find Starlight HERE.

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! For today's Vera Lane Studio projects I have made a postcard and an ATC. I am enjoying making ATC's again. Funny, how we like doing different things at different times. 

This little beauty is from the set "Smile" that was released this week. I printed, coloured her and cut her out. I found this gelli printed piece of paper in my stash and decided to use it. I added some washi tape by Janet and the sentiment that came with the set.

I really love this chameleon, he is so cute. I printed and coloured him and then cut him out. I lengthened his branch so it reached the bottom of the card. I added the sentiment and that was that.

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! For today's Vera Lane Studio projects I have made a tag and an ATC. 

This tag was made with a gelli print from my stash which I cut to size and then used a brayer and white paint to tone it down.  I added some stamping with Janet's stamps which she designed for AALL & Create and some washi tape by Janet too.

This ATC was made with a piece of paper that had crackle paste on it. I cut it to size and then sprayed Distress Oxide sprays on it. I also added a little pigment powder to bring out the texture. I then rolled over white paint with a brayer. The bug was printed, coloured with Copics and cut out. I added him to the ATC and used a piece of AALL & Create washi tape as a sentiment.

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday to you ! For today's Vera Lane projects I have made an ATC and a journal spread. I have filmed the process of making the journal spread so there is a VIDEO too. 

This ATC was easy to make. I just coloured the flying saucer and then painted the ATC with one shade of blue and white and black paint to create this ombre look. I added white dots for the stars. 

You'll not find this set 'Lost in Space' in the shop, but it is still available on request. 

Next the journal spread :

If you want to know how I made it.... 

This set was released this week and you'll find it HERE.

Hello everyone,

and Happy Thursday to you ! For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made three little projects.

The first is a clean and simple card with this week's release called 'Be wise'. I just printed, coloured and cut her out before adhering her to a white card. I also used some pattern paper and a bit of washi tape. The word smart is from the sentiment. 

  

This little owl is also from the 'Be wise' set. He is so cute ! 

I printed, coloured and cut him out. Adhered him to the ATC after sticking a die cut on it which is his branch to sit on. A clippings sticker finished it off. 

You'll find the 'Be wise' set HERE. 

I also made a quick postcard with a piece of patterned paper and this girl which is from an older set called 'Besties' She is still availabe on request. Again I printed, coloured and cut her out and simply adhered her to a postcard sized piece of patterned paper. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Trio of ATCs

Hello everyone,

today's project is a trio of ATC's that I made for AALL & Create. I won't explain to much because there is a VIDEO ! yay! If you like my video's then please subscribe to my channel so I can keep on making videos.
I challenged myself to use only one stamp set because it is so easy to use lots ! I think it worked out well and I really enjoyed the process.

I have a few step by step photos too:

I made a gel print..

Cut the paper into ATC sized pieces and put them back together with tape while I was working on them.

Here is the video where you can see how this came together. 

You can also click HERE to go straight to my YouTube Channel.
