IMAGINATION by Fran Chalmers

 Hi everyone!

Today I have made three ATC's. Children have great imaginations when playing, which I am showcasing with these stamps.  

First of all, I stamped out all the images onto thick paper, using my stamping platform to make sure no detail was missed.  

I made all the backgrounds using distress inks and a small brayer.  Once I had made the backgrounds, I coloured the images, cut them out and stuck on to the backgrounds.

(I can see I've missed a bit of colouring on this one - will have to sort that!)

I added the word "imagination" on each ATC (leaving out the "pure" part of the stamp)

Stamps Used:

Boys Playing with Shopping Cart 19803

Kids in Futuristic Hats 19656

Boy in tub boat 19542

Other Items Used:

Distress inks in Spiced Marigold, Candied Apple, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Uncharted Marine

Small Brayer

Memento ink in Tuxedo Black

Copic Pens

See you next time!

Caution

Welcome to a little mixed media creation for the day. I am so in love with the new stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps. There are 4 new stamp sets so make sure you go and see them. They are all different and just fabulous.

So I had no idea what I wanted to do but I have seen some people create these amazing altered postcards. So I have a couple postcards and wanted to give it a go. I played with several stamps to create texture and just love the outcome.   

Want to see how I created the background for the postcard? Then you can check out the video below. 

I used the stamp Kids in Futuristic Hats - 19656 on white paper, colored the little bits with Distress Ink, and cut them out. 

The background was fun to create using Distress Paints, using the stamp Writing Circles Background - 19567 with Distress Ink, and the stamp Texture Background - 19570 with Shimmerz Lemon Drop Dazzlerz. I then stamped Caution Safety Glasses -19560 stamp the on white paper, it it out, and colored that with more Distress Ink.

I also used the stamp Three Staples - 19576 to add just a little bit more to the postcard!

So glad you stopped by. Don't forget head to the store and check out the new stamps!
