Perfume Lady by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies ❤

Welcome back on this Blog!

Today, I wanna show a new postcard which I'd made for this Blog.

And that's the way, how I made it:

1.)

I use watercolor paper and VersaFine Clair to stamp my image. For this I use the stamp setter to help.

2.)

Before I color the image, I design the background. For this I first use watercolor paints from Lukas.

3.)

I wipe the edges even darker with Distress Oxide.

4.)

I use a mix of water and Perfect Pearls to give the background a water stain effect.

5.)

After masking the images, I use a texture paste and a stencil to finish the background.

6.)

When the paste is dry, the image can now be colored.

all stamps, I used:

- Perfume Lady

- I cain't wait 

 

other supplies:

- Watercolor paper

- VersaFine Clair

- Texture paste

- handmade watercolors

See ya soon *mwah*

BE RANDOM, by Fran Chalmers

Hello everyone! Today I have a tag for you.

I started by making my background.  The tag was cream card, and I smooshed Distress inks in Peacock Feathers and Uncharted Mariner.

 I then used a harlequin stencil from my stash and put translucent texture paste through it, leaving a gap on the left side.

When the paste dries, it goes clear but is a bit sticky.  So firstly I added a bit more colour by dabbing Distress ink in Unchartered Mariner on the raised shapes.

I then dusted mica powder (iridescent blue) on top. This added a lovely sheen.

I stamped my clown image, and I also wanted the balloons on the Banksy image of The Girl with the Balloon.  I stamped 3 balloons in orange, but coloured over them with an orange posca pen as the ink didn't give a deep enough colour.  I shaded the clown with grey copic pen as I wanted him to stand out. I fussy cut them all out.

       

    I stamped a portion of the sentiment stamp onto card which I had smooshed in the same colours as the main tag.

   I stuck the sentiment on sticky pads, then stuck the clown on top and the three hearts, then drew lines from the balloons to the clown's hand.  I added some orange ribbon to pick up the orange in the balloons.

Clown Towing In 14773

Banksy Balloon Girl 19430

Be Adorable 19038

Other Items Used:

Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Unchartered Mariner

Bigfoot Sighting...

Hello Crafty friends

Bigfoot, also known as the "Ohio grass man" in my neck of the woods (along with many other names), has always been a creature of lore, but you will see him for sure on the card below. 

Clearly someone has been gathering evidence?!

Stamps Used: 

Sasquatch

Evidence Label

Coffee Ring Stain

Double Coffee Rings

Start by stamping out bigfoot and distress

Same for your "evidence label"

Next you can see a scarp from my junk box I pulled out, it has vintage photo distress spray ink on it and texture paste.

I combined all these peces plus a tag with some rub-on's (Tim Holtz "remnant rubs") to create the card below. Super Easy! Embellish with more remnant rubs, faux stitching pen marks, staples and metal clips. 

I hope you all enjoy this!

This is actually a gag card for my father-in law.
