Dreaming of the Deep Blue Sea

I was sorting through some stamps in my stash, as we do in lockdown, and found some beauties that I hadn't used yet from Joy! Crafts from their No Journey's end collection. 

They work so well with the Dare to Swim set from Visible Image. 

I used pixie powders on the background and stamped with Distress Oxides. 

Tues 4th Aug 2020 - Visible Image - Summer Wings Transformation

Today I am sharing a quick and simple card - the black and white butterflies transform as they fly through a coloured band and pick up their beautiful new shades of green and blue.

I've used the quirky new Visible Image Summer Wings stamps and Entwined Butterflies stencil. Just two colours of Distress Oxides Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron. 

Please excuse the state of my masking tape, I'm a bit thrifty with it.

Here is today's project....

New Visible Image Stencils - Green & Black Words of Comfort

Tuesday 21st July 2020

Today I'm showing how I made this a dark, green and super sparkly card for the latest Visible Image stencil release.

New Visible Image Stencils - Mesh It Up - Distressed Heart

Wishing everyone a very Happy Tuesday - it's my turn to blog so  I'd like to share this card I've made using the left over bits from sample making with the fab new stencils. These beauties are going to be released on July 17th and they are available for pre-order right now from Visible Image.

This is a simpler version of one of my samples💖

Daily Arts Samples - Hochanda Tuesday 22nd June 2020

Here are the samples I did for the Daily Arts shows on Hochanda on Monday 22nd June 2020. I got to play with the fab mini mandala stencils, crackle lacquers, gloss varnish and the stunning pigment powders.

I used yellow and green distress inks through the stencil to make the flower heads, masking off the front 2 when inking up the ones at the back.

Drew in the stems and leaves with a black fine liner pen then drew around every inked shape - it took a while.

Then painted the leaves and stems, added some doodles with the black fine liner, used a grey alcohol pen to add some shadows.

The sentiment is a Cheery Lynn die.

An old video - Day of the Dead

This is a video of the samples I made for Sheena's Day of The Dead launch way back in 2016. I was on Sheena's DT for nearly 5 years and had a ball working with lots of fab releases, this one being one of my all time favourites. 

Hope you enjoyed this video and thank you for stopping by 😎 xxx
