Moonlight trees by Tracy Blackwolf

Hello everyone!

Here is my card for the project today~

For this card, I started by Spraying the background with spray stains and using a paint brush to move the color around.

I kept adding colors until I liked the look. once I was pleased, I dried it with the heat tool.
I then, Added stars by dipping the brush in picket fence spray stain and splattering it onto the card.
For the glow on some stars, I used a qtip and blot it on my white brilliance ink pad, dab some ink off and then dab onto the stars. You want it a bit dry.
I stamped the moon onto glow in the dark printable vinyl using the black Brilliance ink pad. it really is the best ink for that and dries super fast. And  the glow vinyl Must be printable so make sure what you get says that. I use Girafvinyl brand. You can get on amazon. I must admit I'm obsessed with it. Did I mention its sticker paper?! Very sticky- peel the backing off and stick right on!
    
Stick moon to card and then ink and stamp tree on repeat with the black Brilliance ink. I used a fine tip marker to fill in the wee gap at the edge of the moon with the trees. As the sticker creates a bit of a raised edge. 



Then attach to a card to finish and get some light on the card to see the glow!

I hope you enjoyed!

Love till death by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back here at Viva Las Vegastamps.

Today, I like to share my newest postcard and the way, how I made it.




1.) First I stamp my chosen image on watercolor paper:



2.) I'll now mask this image with a created mask to protect the image so that I can color it later:



3.) With my selected background image, I now emboss the entire surface of the card:




4.) After everything has been blow-dried and cured, I color the entire background. For this, I used a glittery black:



5.) Now I want to add some text to my card. To do this, I stamp all the necessary letters onto a separate sheet of watercolor paper and color them. Then I cut out all the letters:



6.) They are glued on with a 3D foam that sticks on both sides:

Flashing cat by Cathy N

                                           Good morning, Cathy here with a fun card for you today. 



Stamps Used:

I started out by stamping cat flasher in the center of the card. I then made a mask for the cat flasher and cut it out. I then stamped the spiked fence on the card.
After I was done with that, I decided to add some clouds to the background, so I got out my cloud stencil and some blue distress inks and a blending brush and made some clouds.


I then colored the cat with copic markers and added the other half of the moon I had laying around.

Twilight by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone! Spring is in the air! 

Hope you enjoy the card I did for this project!

For this card I used glossy card stock and dye inks and latex make up sponges.
Get the sponge good and inked up and start swiping the ink on.  The wetter the card gets the more it will slide nicely and not leave unwanted marks. start with the lightest blue first.
Then add in some green in a few places.
Then some pale violet...
Then a darker blue...swipe in a few places, not the whole card.




Then a darker blue and then black . swipe in from the outside edges. also, keep in mind your card will lighten up a lot as it dries. give it 24 hours and you will see a difference


When you re happy with your background, stamp your main image(s) in black memories or staz on ink..
let it dry. Then Layer with colored cardstock.
Pro tip- I used versaclair black ink and if you try to do any additional inking over that it will smear right off.. if you are done, then it works fine. The key to this technique is lots of waterbased dye ink so the colors slide around easy. You can even use paper towels or cotton balls to put the color on. 
Hope you enjoyed!


Stamps used:
Leafless trees in field    19719
Tree with tire swing  19717

Other supplies:

Marvy matchables dye ink pads

Good with ketchup by Cathy N

 Good evening, Cathy here with a round card for you tonight. 


                                                                                Stamps used:

                                                                   11066 Meddle not saying

                                                                   20208 Vornii the bookish

                                                                  17545 grunge 1787 writing background

I started out by die cutting the circle from white cardstock and then stamping grunge 1787 writing background on the background and then edged it with drown distress ink. 

Next, I stamped Vornii the bookish and colored him with copic markers. 


I then added a die cut so he could be grounded, and stamped Meddle not saying on a separate white cardstock and then I layered it on black and added it to the top of the circle. Lastly, I added some green glitter circles to the front.
