MY FAVOURITE HUMAN by Fran Chalmers

Hello everyone!

Today I have made a card for a boy or a man (or a girl!) which I hope you like.

 First of all I embossed the circuit board a few times on black card with silver embossing powder

I then stamped the robot on thick paper, coloured him in and fussy cut him out

After I had cut the robot out I stuck him on the black card and added a sentiment, which I mounted on silver card.

I then used fabric paints to add colour to the circles at the end of the wires.  Once they were dry, I mounted the black card onto silver card, and then onto a blue card blank.

Stamps Used:

Futuristic circuit board 19153

Whimsical Scale 19912

Other Items Used:

Black card

Silver card

Blue card base

Silver embossing Powder

Copic Pens

Fabric Paints

Exorcism - by Arwen

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Today, I wanna share my newest postcard. 

some close-ups:

And that's the way, I made it:

1.) Choosing  the right stamps and stamping the first picture on my watercolor cardstock.

2.) Masking the first image, so I can stamp the second one directly onto it.

3.) Masking both images, because I wanna make some embossing effects.

4.) I used  VersaMark and clear powder.

5.) Using watercolor to create my background.

6.) Colored the edges with an ink pad and a tiny brush.

7.) After coloring the images with Distress Reinker, I added some tiny crosses with Distress Oxide.

All stamps, I used for this card:

- Satanic Exorcism

- Nun licking gun

- Carved Xs

- Cross Marks Background

Other stuff:

- Watercolor cardstock

- Staz on

- VersaMark

- Distress Reinker

Tis near Halloween by Corrie

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the blog where today I am sharing a Halloween themed postcard with a little humour! 

Here is how I made it:

First I stamped and coloured the images I planned to use.

I then heat embossed this start chart with clear embossing powder. I added Distress Oxide Inks over the top and because of the embossing powder the stamped image stays white. I used a blending tool to add the inks. 

 Next I added some blood ! (lol) 

I also added some random background stamping. I used the same inks and a Versafine Clair black ink.

After adding some washi tape I placed the images on the top to ground them. The sentiments are Tim Holtz Halloween Clippings stickers and part of a stamp.

I used the following stamps:

20163 - Typeset Scallop

20167 - X circle 

20165 - Crossmarks background

19907 - When witches go riding

20272 - Jack O'Lantern

20123 - The Irish Frankenstein

19995 - Overlapping circles

20248 - Large Star Chart

18961 - Blood dripping

Other materials:

Distress Oxide inks:

Crushed Olive

Fossilized Amber

Wild Honey

Fired Brick

Vintage photo

other inks:

VersaFine Clair - Nocturne

Archival ink - Saffron and Potting Soil

Born to be wild

Hello everyone,

For today's post I have made an art journal spread in my mini Moleskine journal.

And here's how:

I started with gessoed pages and painted them with these acrylic paints. 

Next I used this fab stamp called "Rose Bush" and heat embossed it with a very light yellow embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

Of course I stamped the background randomly as always ! 

Colouring the focal image; isn't he cute ! 

All put together it looks like this. I added a piece of dictionary paper saying 'fox' and a sentiment that I thought would be fitting. 

I have used the following stamps:

19158 - Cute fox in coat

19565 - Measuring tape section

19577 - Staple 'X'

19965 - Born to be wild

20146 - Rose Bush

19416 - Waybill Invoice background

19415 - Butterfly specimens

Other materials:

She Spread Her Wings with Cracked Glass Technique

Hello everyone. Shanna here and I am so excited to be back sharing my Viva Las VegaStamps creations with you! I decided I wanted to play along with the brand new challenge. Have you seen it yet? If not check it out and play with us!

Now I have a video here so you can check out the process off how I made this card. 

I really love the dark tones in this challenge and I went for it. I started with the stamp Nature Collage by Cat Kerr - 20036 with StazOn black ink on some mixed media paper.  Then I stamped the image Waybill Invoice Background - 19416  with some Old Paper Distress Ink. Then I went around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the outer edges. That way the center really pops.

I sprinkled the cardstock with water droplets to remove some of the ink and dabbed it dry with a paper towel. Then I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink with the stamp Numbers Set - 19659 around the edges. I let it dry fast and then I went to town covering the whole thing with Versamark Ink and then thick embossing powder. I used a heat gun to melt it down. I did this twice maybe even three time for good measure. Once your done melting it all with your heat gun pop it in the freezer for 3-5 minutes. YES THE FREEZER! When you pull it out bend it and watch the magic happen but do this GENTLY. Sometimes pieces can come off and you don't want that. If you don't like the way it cracks you can reheat it down and refreeze it. 

I then used Walnut Stain Distress Ink to blend over the cracks so you can see them better. I stamped She Spread Her Wings - 19634 and Dragonfly Wings - 11042 on white cardstock and cut them out. Then I adhered it to my card with some black thread in the background for more texture and pop.

  

 

I really hope you like my take on the current Viva Las VegaStamps challenge and my cracked glass technique. It is really fun and I hope you give it a try and share it with us in the Viva LasVegaStamps! Groupies Page.
