Vintage Mixed Media Card by Preeti D.

Hi friends :)

Hope you are doing well.

Preeti Datta (Dutt Preety) here from the VLVS! Design Team. 

For today's post, I've created a Grungy Vintage Mixed Media Card. 

I've used some gorgeous VLVS! Rubber Stamps here.

I created the background by adhering design tapes to a panel of watercolour paper and then applied clear gesso on top. 

Then, to add colour used distress inks and Oil Pastels. 

Next, stamped the background using various archival inkpads and gorgeous rubber stamps by VLVS! 

For the layering, used a Vintage Paper doll, some gauze, black die cuts and old book paper. 

Layered the elements, stamped the quote using a VLVS! stamp and created white, black and brown ink splatter. 

Distressed the edges of the panel using vintage photo distress ink and then matted the panel in black and kraft.

Finally adhered the panels to a 5 by 7 inch white card base.

Magical Stamping with Versamark Ink

Are you having a great day? I know I am. I am excited it is my turn to share with you some stamp inspiration. Are you ready to have some fun?

So first off I started with my card base using some Distress Inks.

Once that dried I sprinkled water on to create the ink to create the inky effect. 

Then I gave it a good rub over with the anti static pouch. 

Then I used some versamark to ink the stamp.

I then gently brushed some magical powder over the stamp. 

Now you can stop there and keep going or you can spritz the ink with water and set the magical alive. 

I grabbed some chipboard pieces that had gesso on them and rubbed again with the anti static pouch. 

I then used the versamark ink again to stamp my sentiments into the speech bubbles, covered them with some WOW embossing powder and gave them a good head set. 

Here are some close ups of the cards.

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!

Feed Your Soul

Hello everyone and welcome to a new and awesome day for inspiration. 

Shanna here with a new art journal spread to share and it was extremely fun to create as I was testing some colors out to see if I would like them. 

I started out with the stamp Writing Circles Background - 19567 stamped it across my spread using the Mustard Seed Distress Paint, and with Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint I used the stamp Writing Triangles - 19571. 

I then splashed some Abandoned Coral Distress Stain on my craft mat, spritzed the puddle with water, and smoothed my pages in the puddles. I also did the same thing using some Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I really love the color scheme of this spread. 

Then I started stamping the rest of my images with some black ink. I started with the Banksy Girl Watering TV Antennae - 19603, then stamped the Three Staples 19576 in a couple places, the

Staple X - 19577 and the Stitching - 19575 too.

I stamped the Double Coffee Rings - 19568 on the opposite side of the journal to help create a little bit of a balance. I stamped my sentiment Feed Your Soul - 18926 on some white paper and cut it up to add it to the journal page using a gel medium. 

I used my Big Brush pen to shadow the sentiment well make it pop and be bolder. 

Thank you so much for stopping by don't forget to keep coming back for more inspiration from the team!
