It's not art by Corrie

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the VivaLasVegaStamps! blog today where I have a postcard to share. 

And here's how:

Fist of all I stamped the images I was going to use and coloured them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out. I also took out some words of the sentiment.

The background was simply made with dunking the card into Distress Oxide ink and water on my craft sheet; I used Broken China. I then stamped over top with the same ink and Vintage Photo. I also used Versafine Clair black. You'll find a list of all the stamps I used at the bottom of this post. 

Next I added some washi tape by Tim Holtz and some more stamping, this time with Distress Ink Faded Jeans. 

I then put it all together. I doodled around the edges here and there with a graphite pencil. 

I used the following stamps:

19568 - Double Coffee Rings

19572 - Tape X

19567 - Writing Circles Background

20695 - Writing and scribbling collage

20293 - Banksy Just because it is not in a museum....

20683 - Vintage man examining jars

19606 - Banksy Rat gentleman

19604 - Banksy Mirror admiror

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Halloween

 Hello everyone, 

For today's post I have made a Halloween themed journal page:

Here's how I made it:

I stamped the moon with the bats first on the page to determine where I wanted it. I also stamped it on a piece of paper that was coloured with Distress Oxide Inks and shaving foam. I am going to cut that one out and adhere it onto my page where the other one is. 

Next I used Distress Oxide Inks in Weathered Wood and Black Soot to colour the background. I used the smoosh and dip method, drying in between layers. 

I added some background stamping and cut out the yellow moon. 

When the moon was put in place I added some stencilling with a Tim Holtz stencil and Distress Oxide inks, again Weathered Wood and Black soot. 

Next I stamped my images...

Coloured them with my Copic Markers..

And adhered them onto my page. I put down some washi tape first to sit them on. 

I decided not to use the words Trick or Treat that come with this cat stamp because they were to big in relation to the rest of the page. But I found another stamp which had the word Halloween in it which I thought would be perfect. I did add some black pen around the word and dragged my black ink pad along the edges. 

And there you have it ! 

I have used the following stamps:

8586 - Bast Witches

20267 - Beware of

20272 - Jack O' Lantern

20271 - Bats over moon

20278 - Glycerine

20277 - Ext. Witch Hazel 

20554 - Trick or treat dancing cat
