Visible Image "Wings of Change" Card

I was awake early this morning, so decided to have a play with my Visible Image Stamps.  I don't use them often enough!

I started by masking of the edges of a piece of white card.  In the un-masked area I used two shades of Distress Ink:  Wild Honey and Abandoned Coral.  I used a heat gun to dry the area then added splatters of more "Abandoned Coral" ink. I then removed the masking tape.

I used dots from the Visible Image "De-strerssed" stamp set with "Abandoned Coral" Distress Ink diagonally across the coloured background.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Grunge Flourish" and then stamped the wording, which is part of the "Wings of Change" stamp set.  I also added some extra rings using the Visible Image "Shape It Up" stamp set.

On a piece of white card, I stamped three butterflies, also part of the "Wings of Change" stamp set, using two shades of Versafine Clair inks (Summertime and Charming Pink) over the top of each other to create the shade I wanted.  I then fussy cut the butterflies and stuck them on to the card.

Finally, I added black and white Ranger "Enamel Accents" to add a little dimension.

 

Tuesday challenge card "Black and White"

Today, Tuesday 18th April, Eileen Godwin has set a challenge of "Black and White".  This is the card that I have made for this prompt using a selection of Visible Image products.

I stamped the main image, called "Behind Every Mask" in the middle of the card using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  With the remaining ink on the stamp, I stamped the image on a post-it note then fussy cut the shape to create a mask.

With the mask in place, I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink through the Visible Image "Strobes" stencil, fading it out towards the edges.

Using Versfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink I stamped one of the Visible Image "De-stressed" stamps multiple times around the edge of the card.  I then did the same using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I then used the Visible Image "Free Your Imagination" stamp set for the feather and the sentiment, stamping both in "Nocturne" black ink.

Finally, I mounted the card on to a piece of black paper then on to a card blank.  Around the edge of the black paper, I drew a line in a white gel pen.  The last thing I did was to add dots of white Ranger "Enamel Accents" below the flight of the bird.

Visible Image "Don't Judge" Tag

I used two Distress Oxide Spray inks to create the background of this tag (Peeled Paint on the lower half and "Faded Jeans" at the top).

I tore a page from an old book and coloured it with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral).  Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink  and the Visible Image set called "Don't Judge", I then stamped two figures adding the fractured split up each figure and cut the shapes out.

I stamped a heart onto black card using the same ink and stamp set.

I used the Nocturne ink to add the dots and edging to the tags using the Visible Image "De-stressed" stamp set.

I adhered the heart into position and edged it with some silver stitching.  I then decided that I would only use one of the coloured figures, so flipped one and coloured it a grey tone.  I then glued the figures into position.

On a piece of grey card, I stamped the sentiment, cut it down to the size I wanted and adhered over the heart.

I decided the background needed a bit of a lift, so using a white Posca Pen added dots of various sizes.
