Tuesday with Val and a Postcard

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a postcard to share.

It features stamps designed by Roc Nicholas
(as well as a few in the background that are harder to see in this pic).

Is that bird playing a dangerous game of hide and seek?

Thanks for stopping by!

Val :)

Stamps by Stampotique Originals:
Feline, Just Be U, Heart Vine, Scalloped Lace Border,
Jo's Flower Block, Vintage Script, Vintage Postcard

The background has been created with vibrant colors of Dylusions sprays.  Feline has been stamped on patterned paper and plain paper.  The colorful parts of the cat have been colored with Copics on the plain image and then cut out and applied to the patterned paper cat.  Just Be U has ben stamped on other papers made with Dylusions sprays and then cut out and applied to the background with Feline above it.  The border has been stamped on patterned paper, painted with white acrylic paint, cut out and applied to the edge of the card.  The word Just and the Heart Vine have been stamped directly on the background and colored with Copic markers.  Unseen background stamps have been stamped on the background paper with Versamark ink and brushed over with Perfect Pearls to make them shimmer in the light (pretty in person).  Faux stitches have been drawn around the edge to provide a border and finish off the piece.

Stack Those Birdies

For the clear challenge this week I've used acetate and stickles and water soluble pastels (which I didn't think would work on acetate but really do) :-)
I've used
Stack of birds
Row of Numbers
Fax To Wolfgang
Vintage Script
Banner
Can you believe the sun was shining the day I made this, hope it's shining for you today.
Thanks very much for looking x

Twinchie Time

I've very recently discovered twinchies, and fear they could take over my life! The background is spray inks and a stencil, and the Vintage Script has been embossed in white. Carol's Flower (small) and Daisy Daisy have been coloured  with viva glass and pearl paints. My love affair with glass glitter and mica flakes continue with the stems.
These are great fun to make, so if you've never twinchied before, give it a go.
Thanks very much for looking x
