FABULOUS by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a tag for you!

 

 To make the background I blended distress oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry.

I stamped the bottom of the tag for a base for my main images to stand on, and I stamped round the edge of the tag for interest, all in Versafine Clair Purple Delight.

I stamped my main images and sentiment on thick paper, coloured them and cut them out.

I glued the images onto the tag, along with the sentiment.

I scribbled round the sentiment in the same style as the edge of the tag, in black fine liner.

I added some ribbons to finish the tag off.

 Stamps Used:

Writing and scribbles collage 20695

Typeset scallop 20163

Whimsical Lady Grey 19909

Lady grey by Cathy N

 Good morning, all happy February. Cathy here with a watercolor postcard.

I started out with a watercolor postcard and stamped Lady Grey and triangle banner . 

Next, I used watercolor paints to paint and color the postcard.

All of them had shimmer except the background paint. After that was dry, I stamped grunge 1787 writing background with some blue distress ink randomly over the background.

Summer walks with Lady Grey by Cheetarah

Hi all, it's Cheetarah here and I'm glad to be back on the design team for VLVS! this term and contribute regularly to the blog. Today I wanted to share a page I made in my Molskine watercolor sketchbook using wonderful whimsical Lady Grey Stamp by Mary Vogal Lozinak as focal point. 

I stamped her in my molsekine with Memento Tuxedo black, masked her off and added the butterfly wings for some extra whimsy. She looks like she is wearing a poncho so I decided to give the background a feel of light summer rain and work with complimentary colors. The watercolors I used are from Daniel Smith, Winsor and Newton, Schmincke and a few other brands. I like creating my own custom color palettes which you can see here in the picture. 

 

Lady Grey looks like she is walking down some steps and I used the row of Scribble squares to emulate them. Stamped them with memento Dove grey and used light grey green tones to give her a loose yet convincing grounded look look. In the background I have lightly stamped row of numbers set for some extra texture. It looks like she is having a lovely walk in the summer rain. 

Stamps used: 

Whimsical Lady Grey - SKU19909

Row of numbers - SKU 20170 

Pair of butterfly wings - SKU 19647  

Row of scribble squares - SKU 20164

Until next time, have a lovely weekend!
