Follow your heart

Hello everyone,

Today's VivaLasVegaStamps! project is a card. I used my favourite colours too !

and here's how I made it:

I used Distress Oxides and the 'smooshing' method.. 

This is the result. I love those bright colours ! 

Next I added white acrylic paint through this Um Wow Studio stencil called 'Chunky Heart Stencil' and went around the hearts inside the stencil with a white paint pen. 

I also rolled over some more white paint with a brayer. Next I randomly stamped the background using the same Distress Oxides and some black Versafine Clair ink. 

I chose this bunny for my focal point, he is going to carry the heart. I stamped it in pink but later changed it to black. 

I coloured the bunny with Copics and added more shading with coloured pencils, cut him out and cut his arm loose. I then tucked the heart underneath. 

I then assembled everything together. I also added some pink splatters and a doodle line along the edges of the card panel. Lastly I adhered the panel onto a white card base measuring 5"x7". 

I have used the following stamps:

9985 - Dumb bunny

20391 - Banksy follow your heart

10350 - Checkerboard heart

19015 - Dictionary page

20342 - Library return dates

Other materials:

Distress Oxide inks - Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed

Um Wow Studio stencil 'Chunky Heart Stencil'

White acrylic paint

Posca paint pens in white and pink

Mysterious

Hello everyone,

I have made a journal page for today's post and I had so much fun doing it. I have used one of my all time favourite stamps by VLVS! namely the Forest Critter by Leslie Wood ! I adore her work; if you have not heard from her, look her up !

I started painting the page with gesso and then added the yellow with a brayer. I put a stencil on top and wiped away some of the paint with a baby wipe. I repeated this with the turquoise. Next I rolled over some more of the same paint. I then added some stencilling with white acrylic paint over the top. 

I then stamped the background randomly and pushed it back into the background with more white paint and my brayer. I also stamped through the same stencil and added doodles around the circles. I used a black and a white pen for this. I drew a circle where the critter was going to go, again with a white and a black pen and stamped her in it. (I think she is a girl ?) I added splatter and then stamped the critter again on white card stock and coloured her with coloured pencils. I cut her out and added her on the page. 

I adhered the page in my book with Miracle tape. 

I have used the following stamps:

20342 - Library return dates

19567 - Writing circles background

19575 - Stitching

19571 - Writing triangles

19015 - Dictionary page

19820 - Forest Critter

19834 - Mysterious

19833 - Tired of trying to ..

Adventure awaits

welcome to my post and this time I have indulged in my latest favourite thing which is clean and simple with watercolours and coloured pencils... I have made a postcard :

The process was simple, I stamped the Dee and Dum and watercolored them with my newly acquired watercolours by Winsor & Newton. I then added shading with coloured pencils. I also used the watercolours to splatter around them. 

I added the sentiment and some scraps of Design paper and that was that !

Other materials:
