Carpe Diem by Fran

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a postcard.

 First of all I made a background with Distress inks, and used a Tim Holtz stencil to make sun rays.

I edged the postcard in Barn Door distress ink to add interest, and then went round the edge with a part of the heart stamp.

I stamped my sentiment and main image on the postcard (so I didn't have to cut out the tiny pedals of the bike!)

I stamped the main image on thick paper and coloured with Copic pens, then cut out (without the pedals!)

I used some washy tape to ground him and glued him on.  Then I added some background stamps to add a bit of interest and texture.

And that's it folks! I love this happy guy and I hope you do too.

See you next time :)

Bicycle Man 4665 Plates 172 and 288

Born to be wild - by Arwen

 Hi Lovelies 💜❤

It's my turn again, to share my DT project.

This time, I created an Art Journal page and I wanna show you my single steps.

But first - the finished page: 

Some close-ups:

And these are the single steps:

1.) I choose my paper, cut it into the right size and choose my rubber images.

2.) I created a mask, because I wanna use colorspray.

After this, I stamp my main image onto my page.

3.) I used two kinds of colorspray and stamped my background with another rubber image. For this, I used pink instead of black.

4.) Now, I can color my image and add some Glimmer sprinkles.

5.) For my page, I need some more pieces of the Ticket stamp. After coloring with Distress Reinker and cutting out, they're ready to work with.

6.) At last, I used a stencil and texture paste to finish my background.

Adding the text and voilá - a new Art Journal page.

I hope, you like it 😻

Vintage Mixed Media Card by Preeti D.

Hi friends :)

Hope you are doing well.

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! 

For the layering, used a Vintage Paper doll, some gauze, black die cuts and old book paper. 

Layered the elements, stamped the quote using a VLVS! stamp and 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.

Hi friends :)

Preeti Datta (Dutt Preety) here from the VLVS! Design Team. 

For today's post, I've created a Pair of Simple Cards. 

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

I was inspired by Banksy Style Graffiti Art.

VLVS! Banksy stamps are amazing. I love them!

The process is quite simple. I stamped the VLVS! stamps onto watercolour paper.

Then die cut the panels using rectangle dies and did background stamping using grey archival ink.

  Then did very light watercolouring using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

Added the sentiments using Tim Holtz stickers. In the end, matted the panels in black and then white and adhered them to cream coloured A2 sized card bases.
