Fun Cards are Quick and Easy using New Mary Vogel Lozinak Stamps!!!

Hello and Welcome to THURSDAY at Viva Las Vegastamps!!! Susan here to bring you a few fabulous and funky cards made using a few of the new Mary Vogel Lozinak stamps. I have three plates of her images and they are just so much fun.

Did you see my "Circus Rat" earrings? Please CLICK HERE to see what you missed.

Here are three quick and easy cards I created using sketches from Operation Write Home - an awesome organization that provides handmade cards to our troops stationed all over the globe.

This card uses my FAVORITE Mary Vogel Lozinak Bird Head on a Stick stamp. I stamped this with black ink on white cardstock, then hand colored with my brand new Ranger Distress Markers and accented with Gellee Glaze Pens. The background is a scrap of Basic Grey Patterned Paper on a purple card base. The stripes are metallic gift ribbon adhered with Miracle Tape. I finished off this "Quirky Bird" with some colorful feathers. I popped him up with 3D pop dots, and he's ready for the party!!!

This card uses the festive Mary Vogel Lozinak Bird on Elephant stamped on a white coated paper. Using a direct to paper technique, I stained paper with a rainbow ink pad then misted with water. I accented the edges with antique pearl dewdrop ink, then hand-colored the image with my Ranger Distress Markers and matted on a bright blue cardstock. I layered this on top of two strips of two-tone green marquis patterned paper and topped this off with small green gems for this bird to juggle some "BLING"!

This card I stamped the Mary Vogel Lozinak Flower Background Stamp in black Staz-On ink on acrylic hand-painted paper. The paper was painted using a technique from Traci Bautista's "Collage Unleashed" Book. After inking edges with black ink, I layered the floral on a natural brown handmade paper and a hand-misted black cardstock using a mist made of Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer and Bronze Terri Sproul Mixers! This is tied off with a simple moss colored satin bow.
