Helloooooo

 

Hello friends, Aimee here.

Today I have a fun card using the zombie boy and a couple of other stamps from plate 1480.

This card came together easily and was fun to create. So fun in fact that I made three 😁

                                               

First, you need a white card base. 

Mine is a top folding card made from Accent Opaque 120 lb card stock.

Grab your new Tim Holtz stencil and some Distress Ink (I used Mermaid Lagoon). Stencil right onto that card front, mostly to the right.

Now get some heavy white card stock OR watercolor paper, and some masking material. 

I used the same Accent Opaque card stock as the card and a full-stick post it note. 

Stamp the zombie boy onto your paper and onto your masking material using permanent ink.

Cut out your mask and layer it over the boy.

Stamp one of the large funky flower images over the masked boy image. Peel off the mask and use the Distress Ink that you stenciled with to color the inside part of the flower image & the boy's pants.

Continue coloring/painting your image however you prefer.

I used Zig Clean Color markers and water.

Cut out to fit the card front.

Use a pen and draw sketchy lines around the cut panel.

  

Add the panel to the card front.

Stamp the helloooo on a scrap of the painted paper that was trimmed off the image panel. 

Trim it out and ink the edges with black ink.

Add to the card front with foam adhesive.

Now bling it up 😁

Add some sequins and use a white gel pen in his eyes to brighten them up.

Supplies-

• white card base, heavy white card stock or watercolor paper, blending tool
• black permanent ink
• adhesives
• bling
• white gel pen
• watercolor, markers, however you like to color
• Tim Holtz stencil
• Distress Ink
• plate 1480

One Step at a Time by Madisen Hernandez

 Hello Stamping Friends! Welcome back again to the Viva LasVegaStamps blog! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have an inspirational card for ya, that is sure to pack a color punch!

I started by stamping 

Boy in Tub Boat 

and coloring him in with some of my Arteza alcohol markers. I then created a mask and laid it on.

I used these Distress Oxide Inks to create a whimsical mix of color. 

I then used these stamps as background images

Double Coffee Rings

Jack of Spades

Cross Marks Background

Stars

I then used the sentiment "The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time."

...aaaand TA DA! That's it! Thanks for stopping by friend. Until next time!

xoxo Madi

Hi Guys,

 I made a quick card today, which I can use of course for all my cat loving friends, and also for anyone of my friends for many occasions, since I left the inside without any sentiment …… So just add a Birthday greeting or anything else. 

 

I used the Charred Wood BackGround from plate 1301 and a sentiment “Spoiler Alert” from plate 1474

Have a wonderful start into the new week and have fun crafting.

Luv ya ♥

I'm a Bitch before my coffee - by Fran

Hello everyone! Today I have a postcard for you.  Personally I'm a tea gal, but I kinda get the beginning of this sentiment!

Firstly I made my background by blending Distress Inks onto my card.

I then added some background stamps in the same colourways to add interest, and sprinkled water onto the card to bleach out some colour and add texture.

I then went round the edge of the card with a green ink to pull it together.

I stamped my main image and the sentiment out on thick paper, cut out and added to the card.

Some close ups of the layers....

Apothecary by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all!!

Todays project is a mixed media panel featuring VLV stamps.

So First I stamped all the images and cut them out. Next I gathered my resin parts that I had previously made and painted and glued the jars onto the frame. I painted the frame with copper acrylic paint and then used patina effect paste over it and the jars. When those were dry, I added some wax to give gold and blue highlights.

Next I painted with distress spray stains, all of my cut out images. I glued the apothecary image to the back of the frame. Next I got a background card from my stash- I had used alcohol inks and rust effect paste on that. I also  used the foundry 3D embossing folder.

I attached the row of books to the apothecary cabinet, colored and stamped the heart and brain in the Victorian display cases and then assembled everything onto the background card.

And there you have an Apothecary shop! I hope you enjoyed!

Stamps Used:

Apothecary cabinet        19515

Steampunk Victorian display case      20348

Row of Books     19740

Paper Planes by Madisen Hernandez

 Hello Stamping Friends! Today I have a card I made after a really crappy work week! I channeled my frustration into the quote used "Fold your worries into paper planes & turn them into flying fucks!" Gotta love Viva LasVegaStamps!

I began with this awesome array of stamps:

Surprised Girl

Fold Your Worries

X Circle
Double Coffee Rings
Film Strip

I then inked my girl, and colored her in with some alcohol based markers

I made a mask, and did some distress ink blending with these greens

Added some mixed-media background images with crisp black ink

.. aaaand she's done!

Thanks for tuning in to see what art I created this week!

Curtains Please by Cathy

Hello, all Cathy here with a card for you today. 

I started with a background I already had laying around. I know that I used grey distress inks to make the background. I also added some stars with white ink on the background with a stencil.

I stamped grunge background with grey distress ink randomly on the background. 

Then I stamped the curtains in red distress ink and colored them with colored pencils. I used mineral spirts to blend them.

I also stamped the wheeled bee and colored it with copic markers and cut out. I then added some glitter to the wings of the bee.
