This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday and welcome ! I have made a postcard and a book mark/tag for this weeks Vera Lane Studio post. The postcard is not quite what I wanted it to be but these things happen, right?

So, this postcard was made with the newly released set called 'sit down'. I coloured her and didn't really like it so I thought to make it into a vintage project but I don't think I quite succeeded. 

If you would like to have a more successful go with this set you will find it HERE. 

I do like this book mark/tag though. These seagulls crack me up. I coloured him and cut him out. The background is a strip of left over gelli print from my stash. I added some washi tape (designed by Janet for AALL & Create) and glued him over the top. I then added the sentiment that is some Tim Holtz Clipping stickers and drew some eyebrows on him. lol 

Keep an eye on him, he is after your chips/French Fries.. or doughnut! 

You'll find him and his friends HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ! 

Joy and adventure

Hello everyone,

For today's AALL & Create Guest Design project I have made a mixed media book mark. I am an avid reader and I love a homemade book mark. They also make lovely presents for a friend that likes a book too.

Here's how:

I used a brayer in rolled over the green paint. When that was dry I rolled over with Turquoise and put this stencil over it which I then wiped through with a baby wipe creating this pattern. 

I used the same stencil and some modelling paste around the edges to add more interest. 

Next I stamped the images and sentiments I wanted to use. 

I coloured my focal image and cut out the words I wanted from the sentiments. I added some more words that I typed out on my old typewriter, so I could make the sentiment that I wanted. 

I added asome stamping...

As an afterthought I added some pink stamping too because of the pink flower around her eye. I also tore out the Chapter Twenty-One from an old book and added it towards the bottom of the book mark for her to stand on and lastly I added white splatters. 

She was adhered together with the home made sentiment. I matted the book mark on black card stock and added some ribbon. 

I have used the following AALL & Create products:

Stencil:

#89 - Dahlias by Autour de Mwa

Stamps:

#295 - Adventurer by Janet Klein

#296 - All good things by Janet Klein (just for the sentiment)

#309 - Pom pom flowers by Autour de Mwa

#313 - Reverse Dotz by Autour de Mwa

Don't lose your muchness....

Hello everyone,

and welcome to another blogpost for Vera Lane Studio. I really love these digital images... they are all fantastic. These new Alice in Wonderland Planner Props are great but as I already said I am so not into planners. So with the help of my teammies I came up with a book mark.

This bookmark is all one layer... I printed the images partly behind each other and then coloured everything, including the background with Copic Markers. I added the sentiment later and doodled around the edged of the word strips. 

Thank you for stopping by today !

Hello everyone,

This is my first of two posts for today. I fancied playing along with some challenges so that is what I did. The first one I did is over at the Art Journey blog where the challenge this month is : Make a bookmark. Here's mine:

The bookmark was painted with acrylic paints. After these dried I stamped the background and went around the edge with a black ink pad. Next I stamped the three flowers on book paper, cut them out and adhered them to the tag. The word read was made by cutting letters out of the same book paper. Lastly I glued the whole thing on a bit of card stock and added some ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by today !
