If this is reality: Negative Hearts

hi Everyone...

I know it's Late in the MONTH but here is my take on the February Challenge

Negative Hearts

check out Facebook and #feb2020

for a chance to win a Pound of Rubber 

 I started off in my junk journal. I used a brayer to add some white to make a grounded and uniform area to start.... I then added some water and Lindy's Magical Shaker: Autumn Maple Crimson

then I stamped on the Banksy Not my Mother stamp, added the wings and then I used a pen to "join" the wings to the Figure... 

 Added the Squiggle Heart with Distress oxide: Lucky Clover

I then went over it the squiggle heart with stazon black again. 

the heart and wings and Part of Diana's dress were then coloured with some more Lindy's shaker.

Finally I stamped the quote on a piece of paper and then coloured it, like the background piece.

so here you go..

the finished product.

Two Valentine's cards in one with Josefine

Hello everyone! This is Josefine and today I wanted to share an idea for quick Valentine's cards (since it is close to the 14th and such).

I started by creating two card bases. In my case these are 7"x3.5" (folded), but any size would have been fine. I then stamped the Squiggly Heart with a light grey ink. For this technique, I used my Misti stamping tool, because I will stamp that heart a couple more times onto the same spot, and the Misti allows me to do that.

Next, I needed a bit color - pink shades, of course - and instead of just applying it, I used my smallest Gel Press and mono printed the paint on top of the grey heart. My goal was to add only small spots, so I didn't press the paper entirely onto the Gel Press but dabbed it onto small areas instead.

Nest, I lined up the card base in my Misti again and stamped the heart in a dark black.

Now I fuzzy cut the inside of the heart.

I'm not using the cut out for this project, but I kept it. You never know.

Then I used the card base with the cut out heart as a stencil. I put another card base (in the same size) underneath the original one and blended some more ink shades on top.

This way, I now had a wonky heart on the second card base and just had to stamp the heart one more time. Again, easily done because I just had to align it on my stamping tool.

And here are the two cards I made. One is a see through card (I'm thinking about adding a picture in the middle here). The other is a one-layer card with a sentiment on top. And both together make two quick and simple Valentine's card - two in one ;)

Stamps used:

Squiggle Heart SKU 19644

Happy Sweetest Day SKU 20405

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my two quick cards and now have a good idea for some quick cards - in case you still need some.

Have a great week.

Trio of Cards by Preeti D.

Hi friends :)

Hope you are doing well.

Preeti Datta (Dutt Preety) here from the Guest Inspiration Team. 

For today's post, I've created a Trio of Cards using some gorgeous VLVS! rubber stamps. I always need greeting cards to give to friends & relatives, so it is a great idea to have a stack of them ready for whenever the occasion calls for it :) 

I stamped the beautiful focal images (using VLVS! awesome stamps) onto watercolour paper panels & did watercoloring within the focal images. Then, loosely watercolored in greys around the focal images to create depth.

I created a grungy background by second & third generation stamping with VLVS! sentiment stamps around the focal images. And to create an artsy look & frame the pieces, I loosely stamped the Sawtooth Stitching Lines Stamp around the panels.

 In the end, the watercolour panels were adhered to A2 sized grey card bases & I added a sentiment sticker to each card.

She Was a Dreamer

Hey everyone. Shanna here with a fun take on a mixed media card. 

I wanted to play with some bright colors and some new stamps and I thought I would love to share with you how I created it. 

I used some paint and a stencil for the first layer on watercolor paper.

I then stamped the Squiggle Heart - 19644 with Magenta Archival Ink. 

Then I stamped the image Fed-up Vintage Lady - 19640 on some white cardstock and cut her out. 

I wanted to add a sentiment to the card, therefore I wanted to emboss and add more pop of color. So I grabbed some black cardstock and white embossing powder. I used some Versamark Ink to add the embossing powder. 

After that I wanted to add a little more pop of color. I used Twinkling H20's color Mango Mamba. 

I threw everything together and tucked a little thread behind it using chipboard to give some dimension to everything. 

Items Used:

Fed-up Vintage Lady - 19640

She was a Dreamer

Squiggle Heart - 19644
