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! 

Then stamped the focal image and quote, fussy cut them and distressed their edges with Vintage Photo archival ink.

Next, adhered black die cuts, the stamped image and quote to the card. Also, 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.

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 Mixed Media Card. 

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

First, I cut a panel of 300 gsm watercolour paper to create the card base. To colour it, I used Lindy's Gang Squirts and Sprays in shades of purple and pink. Dried the panel & stamped around it's edges using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and VLVS! Stamps- Overlapping Circles by Corrie Herriman, Row of Scribble Squares and A Drawing Is. Then, deckled and distressed the edges of the panel.

Stamped and heat embossed a few small panels using VLVS! Map Background Stamp in black and then coloured the panels with Lindy's Gang Squirt in teal colour. Then deckled & distressed the edges of these small panels with black ink. 

For the focal element, stamped & heat embossed in black the beautiful VLVS! Dancing Lady Stamp and fussy cut it. 

For the sentiment, stamped the VLVS! Be An Adventurer stamp in black onto a watercolour paper panel and distressed it's edges in black

Next, die cut a starry design die using white cardstock and cut paper mats for the card. In the end, gathered all the elements, created a visually pleasing composition and adhered everything using a strong glue. Used 3D foam tape under some of the layers to create dimension. Created white ink splatter to integrate all the elements. Finally, adhered all the layers to a 5 by 7 inch white card base.

Art Journal Spread 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 an Art Journal Spread titled Wanderlust.  

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

First, I applied heavy white gesso to the pages, to prepare them for mixed media work.

Then, stamped the background using VLVS! Stamps and Versamark sticky ink. Next, heat embossed all the stamped images with metallic embossing powder. 

 Added color to the background using Sprays & Starburst squirts. Sprayed with water to create movement.

Did additional stamping using archival ink & VLVS! Rubber Stamps.

 Next, stamped the sentiment and focal image using VLVS! rubber stamps onto white cardstock using versamark watermark ink & heat embossed them in black. Then fussy cut the images & distressed their edges. 

 Adhered a couple of die cuts behind the sentiment and focal element. 

 In the end, distressed the edges of the pages using distress inks and created white & black splatter using watered down gesso.

Junk Journal Style Envelope Package

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to share with you today a small paper project using 

vintage paper, lace, metal elements and 2 of my favorite

 stamps from Viva las vegastamps! 

They are:

Pretty lady looking sideways

Scissors

The process for this project was very easy and fun! Some crunched 

paper, ephemera, stamping, and stitches did the magic! I wanted to

create a vintage envelope package for a special and talented friend 

who is a master at creating junk journals! I love the tiny scissors 

stamp. I used it for a little tag to show that the package needs to be 

opened from that side. 

Here are some more pictures from this project:

Hope to provide with some inspiration for your future vintage projects.

With me, until the next opportunity my friends!

Love for Ink Mail Art Monday

Hello fellow crafters!

MAIL ART MONDAY

STAMPS USED:

Magic ink bottle

Drawing ink

Spilling ink bottle

Elegant lady face

Bubble wrap texture

Here's my mail art project:

I made this happy mail for a friend in Germany, I chose these particular ink stamps because I love writing letters to my friends with fountain pens, just like in the old times. I stamped the images onto coffee dyed paper, cut them into a circular shape and sewn them. I also used brown distress ink, the bubble wrap texture stamp for the background and some authentic vintage ephemera to add more texture and eye candy. 

I love the texture and tri-dimensional look! I hope to provide some inspiration for you today and new ideas to use your viva las vegastamps!

Thank you so much for visiting!
