Escape Plan - by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a little card using a Banksy stamp


 To make the background I used three different green distress inks and a finger dobber.


I stamped the wire fence on each side of the card in Versafine Clair nocturne.  Any gaps at the top or bottom were filled in with the black fine liner.


I stamped the rat on the main card, and again on some thicker paper, which I then fussy cut out.


I went round the edge of the card with Distress ink in black soot.


Before sticking the cut out image on, I added some interest in the background with the numbers stamp in Mowed Lawn distress ink.


I glued the main image on, and a sentiment which I printed on my computer.  I then matted and layered the card onto green backing card.

I hope you like it!

STAMPS USED:

Rows of numbers 20170

Jagged chain link fence 19140

Banksy bolt cutter rat thief 2 20075

OTHER ITEMS USED:

Distres inks in Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn, Black Soot

Versafine Clair ink in  Nocturn

Black fine liner

Frank by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

I just have a quick card for today but I hope you enjoy just the same.


For this card I used Memento - London fog ink pad- dye ink. I stamped the background with that. Frank was stamped with black Brilliance pigment ink on printable glow in the dark vinyl and then fussy cut out.
With more solid images, they don't always stamp perfect so I go in with a black Sharpie marker and fill in the missed spots.
I layered the green card onto a black card and used foam tape on the back of Frank so he has some dimension.
Expose card to sunlight or bright light for several minutes for the glow effect.


And that is it! Quick, fun, easy!


Stamps used:
Frankensteins bolts     5842
Vitruvian man  -lg.      19763
DNA strand                  19437
Erlenmeyer flask          19444
round bottom flask    19445
beaker    19446

Other supplies:
Black Brilliance ink

Printable glow in the dark vinyl sticker paper

Getting ready for the Derby by Cathy N

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


                                                                    Stamps Used:

                                                         12762 black and white horse

                                                         2559 patch of grass

I started out by stamping the patch of grass in two different green distress inks on the bottom of the card. I then stamped black and white horse twice.


After that was done, I colored the horses with copic markers, and I then colored the sky with distress ink and a watercolor brush.

When that was dry, I added some clouds with white ink and a stencil, but you really couldn't see them and it but a haze over the background. So, I took that same stencil and the blue ink I used for the background and went over the top of it.
