This is the beginning of an accordion book that will mix VLVS images and collage. Also, Gelly Roll Pens accent various parts to accent the images.
VLVS images:
Doilies: Medium, Small - 18846, 18845
Dots from December Daily Sheet - 1430
Writing Arrow - 19078
Word, Discover - 19024
Miracle Tape
1. Protect your surface with paper, and paper inside the accordion book so only the front cover will be colored.
2. Use your favortie spray paints and spray randomingly on cover, overlapping colors slightly. Pat with scrunched paper towel to add texture and remove excess color puddles.
3. Doilies stamp all but largest right on the book with coordinating color. Stamp large doily on blue paper, cut, and adhere.
4. Cut and collage girl. Stamp and cut out arrow and adhere. Stamp, cut and adhere word discover.
5. Accent various areas with Gelly Roll Pens (Sakura of America). Adds lots of texture and dimension.
Mix color themes, use complimentary colors (colors that are across from each other on the color wheel). Have fun playing with accents using the gel pens. Mix collage images with rubber stamps.

Wedding card
Hi, Hermine here, still playing around with the gorgeous stuff from Clearsnap. Now I made a weddingcard with this gorgeous ink and Smooch Glitz.
Step 1: take a sheet of watercolor paper and fold in half, draw a heart shape but remember to do that against the fold on the left hand side, so you will have a double card.
step 2: fold the card open and wet the right side of the card with water, let dry for a bit untill it feels damp. Then apply two colours ink, I used Colorbox Crafter's Aruba and Limon. then apply little dots and circles with Smooch Glitz Lime Twist. Heatset it. When completely dry apply little dots in each dot or circles with Smooch Glitz Gold Rush. Heatset again.
step 3: Stamp with Crafter's Aruba the brick background on the lower half of the heart, do this on both sides. Stamp with Crafter's Limon the washi grid background.
step 4: Stamp with Versamark the man and woman symbol and embos with black glossy embossing powder. Stamp with Versafine Black the writing arrow on the left as well as the right hand side of the symbol. Give the arrows a little color with the Crafter's ink and a brush. Put the card aside for a while.
step 5: cut out some gear (Tim Holtz) and sponge with Crafter's Limon andsponge some Aruba on the edges. Heatset it. Then apply Smooch Glitz Lime Twist on the gears, let dry.
step 6: colour some little strips of paper and stamp the text adventure awaits on it with Stazon. Cut the words out and matt on black paper.
step 7: Glue the words and the gear on the card.
Stamps used:
brick background 19077
Washi grid background 19074
man and woman symbol 19080
writing arrow 19078 (all the above stamps can be found also on plate 917)

Guest Designer Post!!
It's time for our SECOND post from Guest Designer Nat Kalbach!
To round off this fabulous week of inspiration I thought we could finish with our 2nd post from the GDT of the month!
Nat has brought us another beautiful Mixed Media piece today!
Nat has used
and
She says: "So
fun to be back! I totally fell in love with the Map Background stamp
and when I created a transfer of a photo of Yosemite I thought that the
Map Background would fit perfectly to the theme and that the roads
itself would make perfect connections with the branches that transfered.
I used the Bird Head to make connections and also because it had the
same visual pattern for me.
I stamped with black Ranger Distress Paint which generated a nice
resist to the Watercolor and the Derwent Artbars and Inktense Blocks I
used over it. "
Other Supplies Used:
Liquitex Gel Medium
Liquitex Acrylic Ink
Deli Paper
Ranger Distress Paint
Derwent Artbars
Derwent Inktense Blocks
Schmincke Watercolors
Graphite Marker
Prima Canvas Letters
Markers
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful work with us Nat! We're honored to show your work on the blog and hope you had a good time using our goods :)
Everyone leave her some love!

So one more time... I'm sharing THREE projects with you today!!
The first by Sandra Strait!
Supplies:
VLVS! Stamps
Art Is The Last 1 1/2 x 1 1/2
Charred Wood BackGround 4 1/2 x 5 3/4
Clearsnap Colorbox Inkpads
Archival dye-Gooseberry, Coral, Key Lime Pie
Fluid Chalk-Peach Pastel,,Aquamarine, Alabaster
Clearsnap Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink-Molasses, Green Apple
Other
5x7 Vellum Bristol paper, Golden Clear Granular gel medium, Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder,
White gel pen, 3D foam dots, Palette knife, Ink blending tools--bullet and brush tips.
To create this beauty she says "Recently I've been painting landscapes using inkpads for color. When I was allowed to choose some products from Clearsnap for this blog hop, I went hunting through the catalog for just the right colors to match a photo that I had.
I blocked in all the colors by pouncing the inkpads where needed. I dotted part of the Charred Wood stamp and embossed it to create ripples in the water (whichh doesn't show well in the scans). Then I loaded up a brush tip ink blending tool with Gooseberry and Aquamarine to draw the trees. I added more colors with the ink blending tools and when satisfied, I slathered on the granular gel medium. When it was dry, I colored it with the molasses smooch, and added some Green Apple smooch for the leaves. When you hold it up to the light the smooch glimmers as though the sun is shining through. The last step was to stamp the 'Art is the last form of magic that exists' on a seperate piece of paper and adhere it with 3D foam dots. Including drying time for the gel medium to dry, this took about 45 minutes to do."

I used ColorBox Archival Ink: Glacier Lake and Wicked Black by Clearsnap to not only sponge pad directly to paper for a green-hued background, but Wicked Ink for the tree and expression. I used Smooches Pearlized Top Coat to highlight the blossoms on the branches and Ocean Soul to highlight the black borders. Fun combination of greens and blues!"

As well as : Kromecote, Straphmore Visual Journal in the Mix media papers, Miracle Tape, Black cardstock, Ultra high Gloss Embossing powder and stamps from the December Daily plate, and some of the stamps from plate 910.
I basically used everything I was given on this fun little journal page. Made a marble background, and colored with the smooches, Stamped with all three ink pads I was given either on Kromecote, black cardstock, or on the journal page itself. I even edged the page with the Smooch Spritz."

Easter Greetings!
Easter Island statues + bunny = quirky greeting card for this year's end-of-March celebration, perfect for my little oddball holiday celebrating of sorts. At any rate, a handful of bold images have been used here: Easter Island Gang, Easter Greetings/Lilies and Dumb Bunny.
I actually started out with Dumb Bunny - embossed him onto a piece of Kromecote cardstock using Stampo's Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder and colored him in using Copic markers. I set him aside.
From there, I cut out a variety of patterned papers to layer onto a turquoise card. The final top piece is actually another piece of Kromecote that I colored using some of the new Tim Holtz Distress Stains in shades of Peacock Feathers, Crushed Olive and Picked Raspberry - all touched up with a bit of Brushed Pewter. Using Staz On ink, I stamped the Easter Island Gang and embossed the Easter Greetings/Lilies.
Voila! Quirky greeting card for Easter. A handful of jelly beans, a stack of new books, and a yearly screening of the French film, Chocolat will complete my holiday. Happy Easter!

Best Chick in Show!
Happy Saturday Everyone! Leslierahye here and in my part of the world the season has changed to Spring and we are about a week away from Easter. That means we will have lots of Easter events in the community and at the school celebrating the Spring Holiday. When I saw the May Arts Ribbons that the team were given to work with, the wide twill ribbon looked like it needed to be made into some sort of winner ribbon! So, I bring you the award for Best Chick in Show!
for this project you will need :
Mix'd Media Inx
Crepe Paper
May Arts Ribbon
Distress Reinkers
Maya Roads Pearl Mist
I began by stamping the hexagon background on my ribbon with Mix'd Media Inx and heat embossing with Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder. I then misted the ribbon and painted with Distress Reinkers the colors of Spring. I worked on a piece of white cardstock which would then become my chick--I dried it with the heat tool, stamped the chick and egg stamp with Mix'd Media Inx and heat embossed the image and fussy cut it out.
Once dry, I then went back with the scroll stamp on top of the ribbon and just heat set it.
I stamped the scroll on pink crepe paper as well. I then used Miracle Tape on the back of an EcoArtBoard 2×2 square to ruffle my stamped crepe paper. Miracle Tape on the edges of the board also held the crepe paper up to the sides covering the edges. The EcoArtBoard was painted with Distress Reinkers and the hex and swirl were once again stamped and heat embossed. The Chick and Egg image was attached to the front with foam tape. The ribbon was attached to the back with Miracle Tape...Our Best Chick in Show award is now ready to be presented!!
I hope you enjoy my project! Thank you for looking! ~leslierahye
A N N O U N C I N G
