Visible Image Green & Gold Dragonfly Reflection

Today I'm blogging how to make this A5 card using the gorgeous new Dragonfly Reflection stamps from Visible Image. There are so many beautiful stamps on this set that it was hard to limit myself but I was aiming for a clean-ish design on this one (also I only had Tuesday morning to make it as we went to Eastham Woods with our daughter Jen and our grandkids in the afternoon). We had a lovely family afternoon 💖.

Visible Image The Butterfly Effect

We have some stunning new A5 stamp sets being released by Visible Image on May 21st, you can pre-order on the website, links are at the end of this post.
I used the gorgeous new Butterfly Effect stamp set on this 10" x 7" card along with plenty of heat embossing and the bling is provided by Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders.

Visible Image Iridescent Dare To Swim

Gosh these weeks are flying past, except for the last couple which have dragged a bit after I broke my ankle, lots of limping about and a distinct lack of crafting going on. Managed to make this quick card this afternoon and my ankle is back on elevated rest 😌.

I've used the fabulous Visible Image Dare to Swim stamp set to make this underwater scene and coloured the Portuguese man of war with my Arteza metallic watercolour paints.

Visible Image Grungy Seahorse

I used the fabulous grungy seahorse from Visible Image, Create Your Calm and their new background Grunge Tones stamps on this card. Inky swooshing and colouring in - a very happy and mindful afternoon 😊

Visible Image - Inky Roses

It's my turn to blog for Visible Image and I've been playing with these fab stencils to make a couple of cards for my friends. These were fun and easy to make. 

Visible Image - Fearless Tiger

I've been playing with the fab new tiger stamp from Visible Image called Fearless Tiger which is being released on March 19th 2021. I had a ball making this card - shiny metallic polish, matt black gesso and the stunning, stunning tiger stamp.
 

Visible Image Nothing to Wear boxed card set

Here is an overview of how I made this box of cards using the really cool Nothing To Wear stamp release from Visible Image. You can pre-order these fab new stamps now from www.VisibleImage.com, release date is the 19th March.

Visible Image - Short Circuit & Soul Creativity

 I used to work as a systems analyst and programmer and I love this fab Short Circuit stencil from Visible Image, I've teamed it up with one of the sentiments from the Express Yourself stamp set.

This card didn't take a long time to make....

Visible Image - Music Speaks in Sunburst

 Wow this last 2 weeks went fast. Today I'm sharing this Visible Image card which I think would be suitable for any teenager that is having a tough time during this lock down. Our lives have many, many songs which remind us of occasions happy and sad and I often put ACDC on to lift my mood.

The colours are reminiscent of a Gibson SG Sunburst according to my hubby, the fiery colours just make me happy.

Visible Image Happy Flower Doodling

 It might be cold and grey outside but I have some Visible Image positivity and colour to brighten up your day. 

I've used one the recent stamp releases Happy Day to create this little happy flower card. I've used Zig Clean colour watercolour pens but you could use anything to colour, just switch out the Versafine Clair ink pad for a Momento ink pad to stamp with if you are going to use alcohol markers.
