Hello everyone,

Today it is my turn to share a project with you.  For this post I have made a postcard using my new paints... and of course loads of yummy VivaLasVegaStamps! I really enjoyed making this..

I started out with a piece of white card stock which I painted with white gesso. After it dried I used a palet knife to scrape Art Anthology Sorbet paint over it. I used yellow, orange and pink. I had to put on two layers to cover all the white gesso. Next I got the gesso out again and scraped some over here and there, using the same palet knife. I also put some around the edges. I then used a stencil and some modelling paste to make the background more interesting. I coloured the stencilled dots with similar coloured inks and my fingers after it dried to make it blend in with the background. You can still see it although it is very subtle. 

Next I randomly stamped the background. There is a list of all the stamps I used at the bottom of this post. Next I stamped the boy and the sentiment. The boy was coloured, cut out and clear embossed. The open letters of the sentiment were coloured in with a black marker and the edges of the strip of paper were inked with a black Archival ink pad. 

Both the boy and the sentiment were then adhered to the card. 

I used the following stamps:

19688 Whimsical horned boy

19571 Writing triangles

19569 Mesh texture

19566 Bubble wrap texture

19659 Numbers set

19652 Super freak 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Shrine

Hi Hermine here. This time we team up with Art Anthology and I made this shrine

I started to paint the wooden shrine with Velvet Dimensional Paint Reef at the top half and Gemstones Dimensional Paint Emerald at the bottom. Then I sprayed with Coloration spray Juicy at the bottom. Stamped Dandelion Head Silhouette 14103 with Stazon Black. Hand drew some stems and placed some studs in the middle. Made some accents with a white sharpie.

Then coloured the grungeboard swirl with Emerald and sprayd some Juicy, put some studs in it. Fasten it on the shrine with glue dots

Take two rectangled tags, cut the shape out of cardstock and coloured it with Juicy. Stamp on one the tex Be true 19197 and on the other one Life is Beautiful 18167 with Stazon Black.

Take a piece of cardstock and stamp Wheeley Rabbit 18377 , Elephant on ball 18374 and Wheeley Penguin 18375 with Stazon Black and colour them.
Glue the Penguin on the shrine and the Rabbit and Elepant on the tags. Glue the tags on the sides of the shrine.

Take some artificial flowers and glue them around the tags.

Hope you like it!

Warmly Hermine

Hi there! This week we at VLVS! are having a blog hop with Art Anthology!!

How exciting is this right??? Here are a few places for you to travel to:

Viva Las VegaStamps! website
Viva Las VegaStamps! facebook page
Art AnthologyWebsite
Art Anthology Facebook Page

I made an ATC using the Italian Sonnet Background and the Demure Angel as well as the Art Anthology Ink Spot Colorations Spray, Art Anthology Blue Topaz  Dimensional Paint and the Art Anthology Garnet Dimensional Paint.  Here is my ATC:

 And here are some step by step pictures of the process.  First I put some Blue Topaz and Garnet paint onto my Gelli Plate using a foam dabber

Then I placed my heavy cardstock onto the Gelli Plate until the paint transferred.

I wanted the colors to be more muted so I sprayed some of the Art Anthology Ink Spot onto the cardstock and let it run.

Then once I dried the card with my heat gun I used the Italian Sonnet Background stamp and gold ink (doesn't that show up nicely on that background?)

I cut out the Demure Angel stamped image and placed it onto the cardstock and then added some sequins and punchinella.

Here is a close up

And once again the finished ATC

I hope you enjoyed my project!

I was thrilled that we got to do a swap with Art Anthology and even better I got to work with one of my favorite colors on top of some other colors I magically have in my dash of inky goodness. I decided to dig in my bin of things to be altered. Do you have one of those or am I the only one??

So first I gave the paper ache book box a coat of gesso. Then I used the stamp Dictionary Page - 19015 to stamp all over some tissue paper. 

Then I covered the front of the book box with the paper using a matte gel medium. I added the medium to the book box itself though not the tissue paper. I then decided to use the stamp Butterfly Specimens - 19415 on the front as well in random spots. After that I wanted to hurry up and add some color. Just in case I covered the front with some clear gesso and after that dried I went to town adding some Colorations Spray - Waimea Bay all overground the edges. Then I sprayed my mat and used the bottle of the bottle to add some color rings (aka you can use the Double Coffee Rings - 19568 or Coffee Ring Stain - 19230 as well).

Here you can see some close ups of stamping and splatter. 

The chipboard I painted with gesso and covered with some Colorations Spray Mocha and brushed certain parts with the Velvet Paint Kona. I just loved playing with Art Anthology along with my VLVS. Keep coming back for more inspiration!

Items Used:

Stitching - 19575

Butterfly Specimens - 19415

Not All Who Wander - 19413

Dictionary Page - 19015

Hello everyone,

I have made two projects combining the fabulous VLVStamps! (Full list of stamps used at the bottom of this post) and the gorgeous Art Anthology products that I was given to make my projects : Sorbet Dimensional paint in the colours : Black Leather Jacket and Sunshine and a spray in the colour Grass. 

This is the first; it is an art journal.

I started with the yellow Art Anthology Dimensional paint (Sunshine) and used a stencil to create the sunburst. Next, when this was dry, I sprayed the page with my Art Anthology Grass Spray. (It doesn't stay on the yellow). I then used a few stamps to give some interest to the background. When this was done, I stamped the sentiment and the man in the gas mask straight onto the page and heat embossed the images with black embossing powder to make them even blacker... The crime scene tape was stamped on a piece of, I think it is called Mulberry paper, and heat embossed in the same way. Lastly I went around the page with a black ink pad.

The second project is a tag:

I used a #8 Manilla tag for this and scraped the Art Anthology Sorbet Dimensional paint onto it with a palet knife. It is gorgeous, there is some little bits of glitter in it. When this was dry I scaped some of the  Art Anthology Black Leather Jacket Dimensional paint over the yellow in the left bottom and right upper corner. 

I also dripped some of the Art Anthology Grass green spray here and there. 

Next I stamped the background and the sentiment straight onto the tag; the girl was stamped separately on some white card stock and coloured with Copic Markers. She was also heat embossed with clear embossing powder before I adhered her to the tag. Lastly I put some ribbon through the hole and that was that !

I used the following stamps :

For the art journal:

19135 - Man in gasmask

19140 - Jagged Chain Link Fence

19134 - The end is near

19133 - Crisme scene Tape

18920 Harlequin Diamond Background 

For the tag:

19571 - Writing triangles

19395 - Banksy Achieve Greatness

19394 - Banksy Greatness Spray Painter
