summer mornings by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone! 

My project today is an art tag. Early summer mornings is the inspiration. I hope you enjoy.

I started by spraying the tag with water.Then I sprayed on some yellow, then orange , then pink. 

next I did shaded lilac and last salvaged patina. I blended with a paint brush and then dried with a heat tool. 

Next I did all the stamped images with a black versafine ink pad.

I went on to use a white gel pen to make all my white sparkles and highlights on the water and the foliage. I used a glitter pen to make some extra sparkle highlights as well. Last, I used white pan pastel to add the morning mist to the scene. I am really happy with the colors of this one.

Stamps used:

Pier or dock       19716

Man fishing silhouette     19715

Dandelion silhouette    19330

Dragonfly   9830

Other supplies:

Distress spray stains

"Dream Big" Art Journal Page | Sue Plumb

Hi everyone!

Sue Plumb here to share my latest VLVS design team project with you. Today I am sharing a whimsical style art journal page that I created called "Dream Big".

I used a range of stamps to create this page, with the feature being (of course) that gorgeous Unicorn. The majority of the stamps I used come from plate #918 and plate #1437.
(For a full linked list of stamps, please see end of post.)

In addition to the VLVS stamps, this page used fairly limited supplies - Ranger Distress Oxides; a Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Brush Marker; and a Stabilo All pencil.

I love the "painted" look that stamping with Distress Oxides gives, especially when layered over the soft, blended background.

If you would like to see how I created this page, there is a process video available on the Viva Las VegaStamps YouTube channel:
