This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

For this week's Vera Lane Studio project I have made a Christmassy Memory Dex card in non-traditional colours. I really like this. This image is from a set called "Gingerbread House" which came out this week.


I coloured the card with Distress Oxide inks and added some stencilling, stamping and of course I toned it down with white paint. I also added some rub-ons. 
I printed the girl and coloured her with Copic Markers, then cut her out. I added some washi tape for her to stand on and then glued her down. I also added little strips of the same washi tape under the sentiment. 

You'll find 'Gingerbread House' HERE.

Whatever...

 Hi everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a card. 


Here's how:


I cut the biggest of the two cards with die set #26 from Designer Paper Pack #11. 


Today I was concentrating on Bipasha's products so used background stamps by her. I used #555 and #457 with Versafine Clair in Twilight and VersaMark with WOW embossing powder 'Metallic Copper'. 


The embossing powder looks really cool and metallic. 


Next I added some of the ephemera pack #65. I really like this steampunk/vintage collection. I had to cut some of the pieces to make them fit but that was just part of the fun. 


For the focal image I wanted to use this little kitten. I got rid of the hat by masking it off and drawing in the very top of his head. I also stamped him on the card directly so I could cut off all the little hairs of his fur. 


Finally I chose one the the ephemera stickers from set #52 as a sentiment. I think it turned out cool!.

Design Paper #11 - Rusty Rhythms by Bipasha Bk

Die #26 - Frayed Frames

Ephemera:
#65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk
#52 - Comic Tags by Autour De Mwa & Co

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

Happy Thursday!

For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a Memory Dex card with the newly released set "Belle Pepper'. 




I printed her and coloured her with Copic Markers. I cut her out and then prepared the background. I used a piece of Design paper and cut out the card. I added some paint, rub-ons and stamping. I also cut out a label from the same Design Paper set. 
When I was happy I placed her on the card, added a piece of string to the label and adhered that too. 

You'll find Belle Pepper HERE

Stay in balance

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a Memory Dex card. I cut it from one of my favourite papers from the paperback #5. I love how it came out:


Here's how I made it:


I cut the card from paperback #5. This is my favourite design in the pack. I use it sparingly! lol


I toned it down a little with a brayer and white paint and then added some stamping using Janet's sets #338 and #692. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne for that. 


Next I added some pieces of rub-on, concentrating on the blue bits of set #3. I thought it needed a little blue. 


Next I stamped the little tightrope walker and coloured her with Copic markers. I then cut her out. 


I used one of the lines of the second page of these rub-ons #12 to act as a tightrope. 


and there it is. I added a sentiment from stamp set #1208 which I coloured with a blue Copic Marker at the bottom. 



I think it came out super-cute !

I have used:

Die #47 - Floral Parade 
Design Paper #5 - Citrus Rainbow by Autour De Mwa & Co
Rub-ons #3 - Greeny Meanies by Autour De Mwa & Co
Rub-ons #12 Coffee Numberistic by Autour De Mwa & Co
Stamps:
#692 - African Voices by Janet Klein
#338 - Background Noise by Janet Klein
#1208 - Funambulism by Janet Klein

Further supplies:

Peace on earth

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a card I made for AALL & Create. 


Here's how 


First I cut out a card with die #34; I used design paper #11 for this. 


Next I added some colour with Distress Oxide ink Rusty Hinge and some Distress Spritz in Spiced Marmalade. 


I also added some rub-ons from set #12.


Next was stamping. I used set #948 and set #1110 with Versafine Clair Morning Mist and the same Distress Oxide ink in Rusty Hinge. 


I stamped the images and sentiment that I wanted to use and coloured the angel. 


Here she is all coloured up. I then cut her out and glued the wings to her back. I could have used a masking technique and stamped everything together but I am a little lazy that way! lol


A few bits of washi tape #2, a very old one, for her to stand on and in the top left corner. 


I also cut the mat from die set #34 in black card stock. 


And here it is, all put together.

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday !

For this week's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a little accordion book with the set 'Chicken Coop' that was released this week. 






I printed the chickens then coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out. 
The background was made with Distress Oxide inks in yellows and orange. I also stamped the background randomly using the same colours and.
I glued the chickens and the sentiment into the book, added some doodling along the edges and that was that. 
The outside was kept simple with pattern paper from my stash and a bit of ribbon. 

You'll find Chicken Coop HERE.

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a tag I made with an older set called 'Gnomes and Sheep'. This is one of my favourite sets by Janet. 


How cute are they! There are a few more in the set too. I printed them, then coloured and cut them out. I used Copic Markers to colour all the images. I then cut a tag (by hand) out of watercolour card and used Distress Ink (Pumice Stone) and Distress Oxide ink (Fossilised Amber) to colour it. I just smooshed the ink pads on my craftsheet and spritzed with water after which I dunked the tag into the ink. 
When I was happy I added some stamping and washi tape. I glued down the images and the sentiment. 

You find the 'Gnomes and Sheep' HERE or HERE.
