This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday ! For today's DT post for Vera Lane Studio I made a postcard and an ATC. I used older sets for both projects. 

This postcard was made with a background from my stash. I can't even remember how I made it. I can see there is gesso or white paint over the top. I added some stamping and stencilling to make it more interesting. The dog was printed, coloured and cut out. I put him on a piece of Janet's washi tape to ground him. I added some lines and made the sentiment with some clippings stickers by Tim Holtz. 

The dog is from the set "Favourite Breeds" and you wil find them HERE. 

This ATC was also made with a background from my stash. It looks like a mop up from the gelli plate.. lol I used another Flowergirl; I love these. I added some stamping to the background and again used clippings stickers for the sentiment. 

You'll find the Flowergirls HERE

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Longing for the sun

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a tag I made for AALL & Create. It expresses my feelings on the day I made it. We are having a very cold and wet Spring and I so wish it would turn to Summer! 

Here's how:

First I created the background with acrylic paint. I painted the tag green, dried it and then painted over with turquoise. Whilst the paint was still wet I put the stencil on and wiped away the wet paint with a baby wipe. Next I put the stencil back on and added a little white here and there. 

Next: Stamping.

and more stamping

I then added some flowers that I cut out of this washi tape by Janet Klein. 

I then stamped and coloured the girl. 

And here is everything put together. I added some shading under her feet and some black lines along the edges and around the words which are clippings stickers by Tim Holtz. 

I have used the following AALL & Create products:

Stencil #101 - Secret Numbers by Autour de Mwa

Stamps : #423 - Seaside by Janet Klein

#443 - Scripted circles by Bipasha BK

#489 - Wisecracks by Autour de Mwa

Happy 100th

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a card made as an inspiration piece for the 100th!!! Challenge over at Country View Challenges. We would love for you to play along with us but before you do, please read the rules. You'll find them HERE.  Here's my card:

Here is how I made this:

I stamped the girl and watercoloured her:

I stamped a piece of 6 x 4 card stock with 100th all over and in all directions with VersaMark ink and embossed it with white powder. 

Next I dunked it into Distress Oxide inks and water. 

After it dried I stamped it randomly. Here are the element for the card all together.

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

and happy Thursday ! Today I have a postcard and an ATC for Vera Lane Studio to show you. 

This postcard is made with "Selfie". I printed, coloured and cut her out. I used a white pen to add the lines to her dress. The background is a mix of ink sprays and white acrylic paint. Of course I added some stencilling and stamping too. 

You'll find 'Selfie' HERE. 

As soon as this Moose Hunt set came out I was in love ! Isn't he fabulous ! I printed, coloured and cut him out. I found this ATC in my stash; it has a gelli print on it. I adhered him and some washi tape on the card and added the sentiment. 

You'll find him HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

I love you

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's AALL & Create GDT post I have made a card. It's a 'love' card but you could send it to your best friend or your sister too!

Here's how I made this:

First was texture paste through this Janet Klein Stencil. When it was dry I added a layer of clear gesso over the top. 

Next: Pigment powders. I used two shades of pink and a grey. When it dried I used a brayer and some white acrylic to tone it down. It also goes pinker! 

I then added some stamping, some with black and red ink, some I heat embossed with white powder. 

Next: The main image

I then added some washi tape for the little girl to stand on. 

Here is she all coloured up in her best dress ! 

The finished card. I glued the panel onto a white blank card.

I have used the following materials:

A5 Stamping block

Stencil #114 - Art by Janet Klein

Stamp #338 - Background Noise by Janet Klein

#481 - Lil Love by Janet Klein

Washi tape #18 - Poets by Janet Klein

 Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday ! For today's post for Vera Lane Studio I have made a postcard and a mini journal page. 

This cutie is from the newly released set called "Learn to fly". I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out. I made the background with one of Janet's stencils for AALL & Create and Distress Oxide inks.

This mini journal was made with a gelli print. I printed, coloured and cut out the moose and the tree. I glued them onto my print and added (the slightly changed) sentiment.

Collector of curiosities

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's AALL & Create GDT post I have made a journal spread. 

Here's how:

I used this stencil with texture paste as a start to my pages. 

When the paste had dried I painted the pages with a yellow and a yellow ocher paint making sure to mix and blend so I had some darker and some light areas. I then added pigment powder to the areas that had the texture paste. I sprayed it with water and let it dry. It stands out better now. 

Next I took a brayer to tone it all down and to lighten the raised areas of the texture paste. Normally I would use white for this but this time I decided on a light yellow. I did this so it wasn't too stark. 

Next I added some background stamping using a yellow, a brown and black ink. 

I stamped my focal images ready for colouring.

I added some washi tape and didn't like it. So I rubbed some of the pale yellow paint over it. Much better but it needed something else. So I added some black splatters and..

......I cut out three crosses from this washi tape..

The focal images all coloured up.

All put together, I added the crosses and glued down the focal images. I painted around the lightbulb to create a little bit of a halo. I also added some pencil lines along the edges and lastly I added a sentiment by Tim Holtz from the Halloween word chip collection. 

I have used the following materials:
