Happy 420 by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps ❤❤❤

Welcome back at VLVS .

Today, I like to share my card for today ;)

close-ups:

And that's the way how I made it:

1.) In the first step, I choose watercolor paper from Canson and cut it to the dimensions 14.3 cm x 14.3 cm. Next, I position the hemp leaf in the center and stamp the text above and below. Now I can color the background.

2.) To design the background a little more, I randomly stamp the hemp leaf in olive green with a chalk ink pad.

3.) In the next step, I stamp the hemp leaf three times on a separate piece of paper so that I can cut it out later.

4.) All three sheets are now colored and then cut out.

5.) I cover one of the three leaves completely with 3D foam and glue it in the center of the hemp leaf I stamped at the beginning. I cut the other two leaves apart and glue them (also with 3D foam) individually onto the stamped background leaves.

6.) Finally, I color the lettering in neon pink and add splashes of the same color all over the card using the water brush.

All stamps, I used:

- Hemp Leaf

- Neon Alphabet and numbers

Other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper (Canson)

- VersaFine Clair

- ColorBox chalk olive green

- handmade watercolors

- 3D Foam

- Cardstock

Have a nice day and see ya soon *mwah*

Wobble Nosferatu by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back on this Blog!

Today, I wanna share my wobble card. It's the first time, I tried this one and I had so much fun :)

Close-up:

And a short video to see the card "in action" :) 

And that's the way, how I made it:

1.)First I choose my materials for my bobblehead. I took the Nosferatu motif, Staz on for stamping and watercolor paper.

2.) Stamp and cut out the image. I painted around the cut edge with a black pen.

3.) I now color the Nosferatu head with my handmade watercolor paints.

4.) I now glue my wobble to the back of the cut out head. Now it can be put aside for now. We won't need it again until later.

5.) Now the background is designed. For this I choose the Place Face Here stamp. However, I only use the lower part of this. I don't need the hat. I expand the motif with a micronpen.

6.) I color the background with Prima watercolor paints and a water tank brush.

7.) I refine the background with a bat stencil and Distress Oxide.

8.) Now we can stick our wobble head in the correct position on the card.

9.) The final touches and the card is ready.

All stamps, I used:

- Smear/smudge

- Fuck Head

- Vampire Nosferatu

- Place Face here

Other supplies:

- Watercolor paper

- Staz on

- handmade watercolors

- Prima watercolors

- Posca pen white

- Micron pen

- Distress Oxides

- Stencil

- Cardstock

- Wobble embellishment

See ya soon *mwah*

Just a bad day by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back!

Today I have to share a new flip card.

Some close-ups:

And that's the way, I made it:

1.) First I choose a motif that I want to use. I stamp it with VersaMark and dust it with embossing powder.

2.) I position the stamp in the middle of the card. Embossed - the result is a great purple/gold glitter effect.

3.) I stamp more hearts on my sheet. I embossed these too. Then I add embossing powder randomly. I blow-dry this from the bottom so that the powder doesn't blow off the paper.I then color the entire sheet.

4.) After coloring, I add a few spritzes of shimmer spray and let it dry.

5.) Now that my background is finished, I stamp the same design again, cut it out and color it. Finally, I add a saying.

6.) My map is now almost finished. To make the heart stand out beautifully, I cover it with foam from behind. A little eyelet heart, a pretty crochet border and the flip card is ready.

All stamps, I used:

- Squiggle Heart

- It's just a bad day

other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper

- Cardstock

- Staz on

- VersaMark

- Embossing powder

- handmade watercolors

- crochet border

- eyelet

See ya soon  *mwah*

Rock Star by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back on this Blog.

This is my last Blog project for 2023.

And that's the way, how I made it:

01.) First of all I select my images.

02.) I stamped both images on watercolor paper and then cut them out. I cut out each honeycomb individually.

03.) Before I color my pictures, I first design my background. For this I use watercolor paper and VersaMark for embossing.

04.) When I've finished stamping, embossing powder is added over the stamping ink. Then everything is heated with a hot air dryer until the powder melts.

05.) I color my embossed background using a water tank brush and Distress Reinker.

06.) I have now colored my pictures and can now put everything together into a card. To make the images stand out a bit, I use 3D foam. Finally, stamp the text, stick it on a folding card and you're done.

All stamps I used:

- Six hexagon background

- Whimsical cyclops

- Rock star

- Stars

other supplies:

- Staz on

- VersaMark

- Watercolor paper

- Distress Reinker

- handmade watercolors

- embossing powder 

Wishng you a Happy New Year *mwah*
