St Valentine's Day - by Fran

Happy St Valentine's Day everyone!

I don't know if you celebrate it where you are, but we do here in the UK so I thought I would do a Valentine themed card today.

To make the card, first of all I smooshed some pink Distress Inks onto a piece of card.  I dried between layers.

I stamped out the main image, then coloured with pencils and fussy cut it out.

I then stamped two hearts onto the card and painted red with Distress Ink. I stamped two more hearts onto spare card, painted them and cut out the middle of each one. I stuck them onto the hearts on the card with some sticky pads to lift them.

I stuck the main image onto some heart washy tape, then went round the edge of the card with a red pen, then stuck the matt onto the main card.

Finally, when the card was all put together, I painted the raised part of the hearts with glossy accents.

Stamps Used:

Squiggle heart 19644

Young couple kissing 18502

Other items used:

Distress Inks in Candied Apple, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry

Washy Tape

Glossy Accents

Polychromos pencils

Red edging pen

 Hello everyone,

19761 - Map of the arctic

1692 - Early in the morning swahilis

Born to Stand Out by Fran

Hello again everyone!

Today I have made a card using some of the Alice in Wonderland themed stamps, which I hope you like.

 I used a background from my stash, which I had previously made using acrylic paint on my gel plate. I stamped the twins and Alice on thick paper, coloured them in and fussy cut them out.

I stamped the wall onto the background and used pencils to enhance the stamp with some shading.

I added some interest in the background by stamping some numbers in red, and also went round the sentiment with a red pencil, just so it wasn't plain white

I stuck everything on, and put some washy tape underneath Alice to "ground" her. Lastyly, I went round the edge of the card with a brown distress ink, and black pen.

See you next time!

Stamps Used:

TweeleDum and TweedleDee 10526

Alice with Hands Behind her Back 5559

Numbers Set 19659

Brick background 19077

Why Fit in 20082

Other items used:

Distress ink in Walnut Stain

Versafine Clair in Tulip Red

Love is like...... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all!

This weeks blog pertains to Valentines Day..I hope you enjoy it.

For this tag I used lots of Spray inks. I just love how they blend. I started with a chipboard heart and painted it with white Gesso. Then I chose my colors of spray inks and just started spraying..

I let them sit and blend for a few minutes and as soon as I am happy. I dry  it with the heat tool. I used a combo of shimmer spray and plain. Next I did the same thing with the tag. I added some green to that to pull the theme together. while that finished drying, I stamped and fussy cut the dinos as well as the rock vista. 

I found an acrylic heart jewel in my stash and used double stick tape to have the dino hold the heart to his intended. I put foam tape on the dinos and double stick tape on all else and put all the parts in place.

I went to my computer to make the sentiment, cut it all out and used foam tape to place it all down.

I used alcohol markers to color the dino and rocks and the other dino I used pearl ex watercolor paints.

That's it !  A fun Bit of Darkish humor... 

Thanks for Looking!! Stay Crafty!

Hello Friends,

 it’s time to continue with another AMF Project:

*ART MEETS FUNCTION*

 

I created one more box with 3 sides using the fabulous images from Tina Walker again.

I inked the panels with different colors of Yellow and added some texture with a stencil. After stamping the ladies, I bleached their faces and added more ink to the “hair” and their lips.

 I stamped different sentiments and added them to the panel.

Distressing the edges finished my creation.

I put a little glass vial inside and gave to a friend with some spring flowers. Later on she can use it as a pen holder or the storage of beauty pencils.

Some close ups ....

I used the following stamps:

The ladies from plate 1523 

Sentiments:

Nevertheless,....

Follow your heart

I see humans ....

Ya'll have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and find time to craft. 

 

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
