FAIRY ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE - by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!  

I've made a Christmassy themed card for you today...

 I made the background by stamping the Assemic Stripes stamp with Versafine Clair in Tulip.

I then stamped the main image on thick paper and coloured it in, and fussy cut it out.

I was going to print the sentiment but my printer wouldn't work, so I hand wrote the sentiment on card and cut it out. I edged it with black Sharpie pen.

Stamps Used:

Assemic Stripes 20576 

Cross eyed Fairy 9334

Other items used:

Versafine Clair in Tulip

Zig pens

Black fine liner

SCRIBBLE THAT SHIT OUT - by Fran Chalmers

 Hi everyone!

Today I have made a postcard for you, which I hope you like!

I started with a piece of card that I had in my stash, which was made on a gel press.

I added some interest by adding some background stamps, using Elements ink in Della Blue and Versafine Clair ink in Verdant.

I stamped my main image onto the card, and then onto some thick paper.  I coloured it and cut out, sticking it on top of the stamped image.

I added my sentiments, and used a fine liner to frame them.  I then added some more background with crosses to fill in the spaces that needed something. I framed the whole card with a black fine liner.

FABULOUS by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a tag for you!

 

 To make the background I blended distress oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry.

I stamped the bottom of the tag for a base for my main images to stand on, and I stamped round the edge of the tag for interest, all in Versafine Clair Purple Delight.

I stamped my main images and sentiment on thick paper, coloured them and cut them out.

I glued the images onto the tag, along with the sentiment.

I scribbled round the sentiment in the same style as the edge of the tag, in black fine liner.

I added some ribbons to finish the tag off.
