Wonderland

Hello everyone,

For my second post for UmWow Studio Creative Team, I have made a postcard.

This was so much fun to make ! 

I used a gelli printed background and added just one stamp at the bottom as 'ground' to put my scene one. I then added black lines and stitching around the edges of the card and wrapped some twine around it. 

Next I started on the chip boards. The stars were heat embossed with a light yellow embossing powder by Lindy's Stampgang. The stem of the flower was coloured with Copic Markers. The flower head was white embossed and then coloured over the top, partly with Copics partly with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers. The whole think was then clear embossed. 

The little rabbits were painted with gesso and then coloured with coloured pencils. Aren't they cute....

I arranged everything on the card until I was happy and then glued everything down. 

Lastly I stamped the word 'Wonderland' on a piece of paper and stapled it to the card.

That was it ! 

I used the following chipboards:

Hare

Daisy

Star Confetti

All stamps I used are by VivaLasVegaStamps!

Life is for living !

Hello everyone,

I am on the Visible Image blog today with this Monolith! I love these monoliths and I love bright colours but for this one I went vintage ! Hope you like it !!!

This is the front of the finished monolith... 

This is the back of the monolith....

A close up of the back...

And a close up of the front and all the yummy crackles... 

And a closer look at the bow... 

This Monolith was started with Gesso; two layers of it. I then put some crackle paint (by Deco Art Media) on the front and the base. When this had dried I used a harlequin stencil and some more of the crackle paint to add some more interest. When all this had dried I used the Deco Art Antiquing creme to add some interest, I used brown and turquoise. This gave me a nice worn look. 

I then used the INKognito flower stamp on the back with VersaMark ink and some Lindy's Stamp gang light turquoise embossing powder. I really love the blue and turquoise combination... 

That was the back finished. For the front I wanted a nice saying, so I settled for this bold 'Life is for living" stamp. I used Archival ink to stamp it. I used a Faber Castell Big Brush Marker to shade the letters some what. I also stamped some dots randomly, using blue and brown inks.

I used some twine, wrapping it around the bottom of the standing part of the monolith. I made a bow, using the same twine, by winding it around my hand and securing the loops in the middle. I used hot glue to add it to the monolith. 

I love all the texture the crackle paint has made! 

I used the following stamps: 

Retro dots background

Life is for living

Life in the zoo !

Hello everyone,

Today it is the 1st of May and my turn to show another project with Roc Nicholas' fabulous stamps. I have made a little art journal with my favourite Roc stamp 'Horse'. This time he is impersonating a giraffe !

I love, love, love how you can manipulate these stamps and make them into something new! 

For this journal I painted the page with my Dylusions paint. I stamped the background with 'Heart Vine' and doodled in and around the stamped images with a white gel pen. I also punched some small hearts to replace the stamped ones. Next I tore some patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom and top right of the page. Next I wrapped some twine around the page; I saw some people do this on YouTube and thought it looked really cool ! The horse was stamped in two parts and altered, coloured and put back together. I adhered him to the page over the twine. Lastly I made the sentiment with 2 more of Roc's stamps : 'Art Junkie' and 'Unleash yourself', I just had to draw the 'Z' as there wasn't one in the stamps I mentioned...

I used the following stamps:
