The adventure begins

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I have the second inspiration piece for the Country View Challenges April theme 'Things with wings' set by Rachel.


Here's how I made this:


I started off with a piece of gelli printed paper. This was actually a mop up page. 


I added stamping


Next I stamped the sentiment I was going to use directly on the card. I also stamped the goofy duck or is it a goose on the card and on a piece of white card stock? I coloured him with Copics and cut him out. I then glued him onto the card. 


 I added a sentiment by Tim Holtz and som doodling around the card and that was it ! Oh, mustn't lie, I also added a little tiny bit of stamping with orange to tie in the orange of his feet and beak. 



Please play along with us; you might win a £20 voucher for the shop ! Just make sure to read the RULES  before you do! 

Thank you for stopping by !

Banksy wasn't here

  Hello everyone, 

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! project I have made an art journal spread. 


here's how I made it:


I painted the pages with acrylic paint, making sure to leave some white space. I then added some background stamping using the same paint, white paint and inks. If you do use paint to stamp, make sure to clean your stamps straight away because if it dries you'll have a very hard job removing it. 


Next I stamped Dali and the peace symbol. Because I don't have a decent red ink pad for stamping I had to use the Distress Ink one. These are really not suitable for stamping, especially on acrylic paint. That's why it looks so patchy. I later rectified this by going over the images with a Copic Marker. This is also not a good idea as Copics don't like being used over acrylic. 
I also stamped Dali on a piece of card stock and coloured him with Copics and cut him out. 


Here you can see it all put together. 




I used the following stamps:


I also used:
Acrylic paint
Copic Markers
Versafine Clair ink

Exotic

  Hi Everyone, 

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! project I have made a postcard! 


And here's how I made it:


First I dunked the card in to Distress Oxide inks that I smooshed on my craft sheet. I did add some water too. 


Next I stamped the background and inked the edges of the card. 


I then stamped the focal image on the card because the one I stamped to colour, I cannot cut out perfectly so I just glue it over the top of this one. Looks perfect ! 



Here I have glued the coloured and cut out image over the top of the one on the card. 




I have used the following stamps: 


I also used:
Distress Oxide Inks
Copic Markers

I have used the following stamps: 


I also used:
Distress Oxide inks
Embossing powder

I believe

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a postcard I have made for VivaLasVegaStamps! I love rainbow colours so today I went for those. I never tire of them. 


Here's how I made it:


First I coloured the background by dunking it in ink smooshed mixed with a spray of water on my craft sheet. I dried it in between colours.


Next I added some stencilling with white acrylic paint and using the same paint and a brayer I added some white here and there on the card. 


Next I stamped the background using the same inks and a black Versafine. 


I then stamped the lady on the card and on a piece of blank book paper. I also stamped the sentiment. With a piece of cut and dry foam I inked the edged of the card using Versafine.  


I used some washitape to ground her and added a little bit in the right top corner to balance the card. 
Lastly I added the lady and the sentiment. 



I have used the following stamps:


Other materials:
MM card stock
Distress Oxide inks
Versafine Clair Ink 
White acrylic paint (Amsterdam)
AALL & Create Washi tape
book paper

Tis the season...

  Hello everyone, 

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! project I have made a postcard. It is Christmas themed, well sort of.....



Here's how I made it:


I stamped the stars with VersaMark ink and heat embossed them with white powder. I then dunked the card into Distress Ink and water; I used Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. I 


Next I stamped randomly over the top using and inked the edges with Black Soot. 


Next I stamped, coloured and cut out the images I was going to use. I used Distress Inks again for painting. Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo for the skin, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire for her dress. The top of the hat was stamped with red Distress Oxide (Fired Brick) and I added some shading to it with Copics. I then glued the red top over the black stamped one. 


Next thing was assembling. I put some washi tape at the bottom for her the lean on. I then glued all the elements on the card.

Not normal

  Hello everyone, 

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! DT post I have made an artjournal spread. I was listening to the news on the radio on a Thursday in mid November when I heard that the Government was talking about another (third) lockdown. I must say I am fed up with this pandemic and with all the measures that have been implemented and don't really work. So, I felt I had to get it out of my system and that's what I did. 





I used Amsterdam acrylic paints to create the background and a home made stencil for the polkadots. 
I added background stamping and added the face mask and the altered sentiment. 

I used the following stamps:
