This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday and Happy New Year ! For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a mini journal page with the newly released set 'Sweet on you'. 

I printed and coloured the images with Copics. The background is a mop up page from the gelli plate to which I added some stencilling and stamping. I used stencil 'Art' and stamp set 'X or O' by Janet Klein for AALL & Create to add some interest. I doodled around the page with a black pen and then glued down the images and the sentiment. 

You'll find these two cuties HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Coffee in one hand...

 Hello everyone, 

Happy New Year ! 

For the first AALL & Create project for 2023 I have made an artjournal page.

Here's how:

First I made a gelli print with this stencil and acrylic paint. 

Next, I stamped the page randomly. 

Next I cut this die; I didn't use all of it in the end.. 

I put down the flower parts of the die cut and doodled a line around the actual print to frame the page. Note that I got rid of the stamping outside the print. I used a bit of white paint to do this. 

The image I chose to use. 

No Copic Markers today, but watercolours. Very relaxing but also time consuming. 

Adding a few pieces of washi tape. The background is now ready for the image and the sentiment. 

All put together. 

I have used the following AALL & Create products:

Die #13 - Bursting Buds by Bipasha Bk

Washi tape #21 - Beach Rock by Janet Klein

Stencil #120 - Quattro Fiori by Janet Klein

Stamps:

Me time

Hello everyone, 

Happy New Year ! It is the first of January today so that means the start of the new year but also the start of a new challenge over at Country View Challenges. Evelyn chose the theme this time and she picked 'Clocks/time'. For the first project I have made a postcard. 

Here's how:

First I heat embossed the card panel. I used white embossing powder and a big background stamp by Katzelkraft. 

I then used Distress Oxide inks Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed to colour the panel. I used a blending tool. I also went around the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. 

Next I stamped one of the cats of this Katzelkraft set.

and the sentiment which is a very old stamp by Visible Image. 

To stamp the sentiment I used Versafine Clair ink in Summertime, Charming Pink and Cheerfull.

Here it is all put together. 

I used some washi tape to the cat on and some in the right hand top corner. I added splatters with Distress Oxide ink and water (Walnut Stain) and went around the wordstrips with a black pen.

We would love for you to play along with us but make sure to read the RULES. 

I'll be back soon with more inspiration!

 Hello everyone,

For today's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a Trinchie with an older image called 'Moosehunt'. The expression on his face cracks me up. 

I printed and coloured the image then cut it out. I made a background with Distress Oxide ink and water. I randomly stamped and stencilled the background and then glued on my image. I added a present to his antlers just for fun. 

You'll find him HERE.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Untamed Beauty

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post, the last one for this year, I have made a card. I have used stamps, inks, embossing powder and watercolours. I really like the effect. 

Here's how:

First, I heat embossed the rose stamp in two corners and the left side. I used a brush to get rid of the numbers in the image. Because of the way I stamped them, the ended up upside down. I then used watercolours to roughly colour the flowers and the leaves. I think it looks great. 

The next thing was adding some stamping. I used the same green watercolour paint to stamp the diamonds and black Versafine Clair ink to stamp the text and to go around the edges of the card. 

Next I stamped the bird from this set.

and coloured him. I used watercolours and a little bit or coloured pencil. 

I stamped the sentiment which is the text underneath the roses.

After I cut out the bird I glued everything onto the card panel en attached the card panel to a white card. 

I have used the following AALL & Create stamps, all by Bipasha Bk

#470 - Scripted Diamonds 

#457 - Background Voices

#746 - Dreams That Blossom 

#709 - Lighted Florals

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a set of 2 ATC's with the set 'Nutcracker and Sugar Plum'. 

I printed the images and coloured them with Copic Markers then cut them out. I made the background with watercolour paper and Distress Oxide inks by dunking the cards into the ink that I smooshed on my craft sheet and spritzed with water. I toned them down with white paint and a brayer. I then stamped and stencilled them randomly. I added a doodle line along the edges and then glued my images on the cards. I added some grey shading around them to make them stand out more. 

Lastly I added the sentiment. 

You'll find this adorable set HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

I'm glad I met you...

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create GDT project I have made an artjournal spread.

Here's how:

I used a brayer and light blue and purple paint to get some colour on the pages. I let it dry in between layers. I then used white acrylic paint to tone it down.  Next I used this stencil and the same light blue paint to add the circles. I then toned it down again with white paint.

I added stamping using Archival and VersaFine Clair inks. (I just use inks by the colours I want, I don't look what type of ink they are). 

Next I stamped the tall girl and the sentiment. 

I wanted to add some washi tape but didn't like it until I had just a small piece in the top right corner. I also doodled around the pages with a black pen.  

I then put everything together. 

I have used:

Stencil #136 - Bug Hotel by Autour de Mwa

Washi tape #17 - Mix & Match by Janet Klein

Stamps:

#813 - Smile by Janet Klein

#758 - Hidden Words by Janet Klein

#523 - Flower Pops by Janet Klein

#692 - African Voices by Janet Klein
