Funky Fossil Designs "Nordic Noel" New Stamp Preview 2

This is my second preview sample using the new Funky Fossil "Nordic Noel" stamp set, which will be available on the Funky Fossil Designs site from this Friday, 30th July. 

For the background of this sample, I have used "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then use the Funky Fossil "Antler Background Stencil" with "Rusty Hinge" Distress Oxide Ink.  

I stamped the image using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" and coloured with Posca Pens.

Day 8 of 24 Day of Tags Challenge with Karen Telfer.

This is my Day 8 tag, I've used Gesso through the Funky Fossil "Antler Background" stencil.  Once dry, I used "Mustard Seed" and "Mermaid Lagoon" to give the background colour and to lift the antler image.

I used "Lucky Clover" Distress Oxide ink through the Funky Fossil "Leaping Stags" stenci. for the smaller stag images in the background.

I then used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink through the image of the large stag on the same stencil.  

I added touches of sparkle to the antlers and the stag using a silver glitter Signo Pen.  I added snowflakes to the background using a white Posca Pen.

Funky Fossil Antler and Stripes - Male Birthday Card

While I had my inks and stencils out, I decided to make another card, but step the stencil process up a little by layering two over each other.

Like the other card, I started with a base of "Shabby Shutters" Distress Oxide inks.  I then "Brushed Corduroy" Distress Oxide Inks through the Funky Fossil "Simply Stripes" stencil.

I then overlayed the Funky Fossil "Antler Background" stencil, using "Ground Espresso" Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil to create the whole design.

I stamped the Papertrey Ink "Happy Birthday" sentiment using Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink and then die cut the sentiment.

Funky Fossil "Antler Background" Stencil - Male Birthday Card

I've been playing with stencils this afternoon, creating this card.

I started by covering some white card with "Shabby Shutters" Distress Oxide Ink.  I used "Brushed Corduroy" Distress Oxide through the Funky Fossil "Antler" stencil, taped on top of the green background to create the over all pattern.

To create the central sentiment, I used an off-cut of the "Shabby Shutters" Distress Oxide background and stamped "Have A Wild Birthday" using stamps from the Funky Fossil clear stamp set called "Wild Things" stamped in Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink.

I die cut the sentiment into a rectangle and then edged it with "Brushed Corduroy" Distress Oxide Ink before adhering it to the middle of the card.  I then edged the whole inner image with the same ink.
