Funky Fossil "Birdsong" Stamp Set Release Day



Yey!  It seems to have been a long time coming, but today is the release day for the new Funky Fossil "Birdsong" clear stamp set.



The birdsong stamp set is designed by Addie Hanson and I have absolutely loved creating samples using this set.

I have deliberately kept this design very simple as it highlights the beauty of the stamp itself.  Stamping is in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Funky Fossil "Graphic Words" Stamp Set Release Day



Today is the day when lots of brand new Funky Fossil goodies become available to purchase.

For this card, I have used the Funky Fossil "Party Balloons" stencil with Distress Oxide Inks for colour, using "Peacock Feathers" and "Black Soot" shades to colour through the stencil.

I have used the Funky Fossil "Happy Birthday" die, to cut the words in a dark pink coloured card.



Finally, in the bottom left hand corner,  I have samped the sentiment "Make a Wish" using one of the stamps from the brand new Funky Fossil stamp set called "Graphic Words", stamped in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.

Funky Fossil "Geo Elements" Stamp Set Release Day



After days of showing you lots of tempting new Funky Fossil goodies, today is the day when you can actually shop for the new release items.

For this card, I have used the new Funky Fossil "Geo Elements" stamp set paired with the Funky Fossil "Full Of Love Stencil". The sentiment is a stamp from the Funky Fossil "Small Print" stamp set.

Lavinia Stamps "Wild Flower" Birthday Card



This morning, I have played with Lavinia Stamps again, creating this flower garden card. 

For the background, I used a brayer to apply "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide ink on to a small piece of card 3"x3", that I had on my desk.  I graduated the tone from light at the top to a darker green at the base.

I used two shades of Versafine Clair green inks (Verdant and Shady Lane) to stamp the Lavinia "Fairy Barnacles" in the background.

I then used the Lavinia "Wild Flower" stamp  with four shades of Versafine Clair Ink (Purple Delight, Glamorous, Monarch and Medieval Blue).

To make the "Fairy Barnacles" stand out, I added some white with a Posca Pen.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment, which is part of a Simon Says Stamp set called "Tiny Words Birthday".


Funky Fossil New Die "Leafy Circle" Preview



Today I can share with you a lovely new product which will be released by Funky Fossil Designs, tomorrow.  It is the beautiful "Leafy Circle" die.



For this sample, I have stamped the sentiment (part of the Funky Fossil "Hello Gorgeous" stamp set) using  a Wow! Embossing Ink Pad and then coated the stamped image with Wow! Bright White, Super Fine Embossing Powder and heat set.

I ran the "Leafy Circle" die through my machine and then adhered around the stamped image.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Magical" Preview 2


 

Here's another sample using the fabulous new Funky Fossil "Magical" stamp set.


I've stamped the image in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks applied with a paint brush.

I used the Funky Fossil "Star Burst" stencil for the background.  I used Wow! Clear Embossing ink through the stencil, then coated the area with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  I then used "Dusty Concord" Distress Oxide ink to colour the background, using a piece of paper towel to rub over the star surface to reveal the white stars.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Magical" Preview



It is Day 5 of previewing lots of lovely new goodies from Funky Fossil Designs.  Today I introduce you to the "Magical" clear stamp set, designed by Molly Arts.  The set consists of three feather designs, three sentiments and two feature stamps consisting of several elements.



For this sample, I decided to let the detail of one of the feather stamps in the "Magical" set do the talking by keeping the card very simple.

I used two shades of Versafine Clair inks on the feather stamp:  Morning Mist and Warm Breeze, I feel it gives a little more interest to the feather where the colours change and are lighter and darker.  I heat embossed the stamped image, by coating the feather image with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and then heat set.

I stamped the sentiment of "Sending healing thoughts" in two lines instead of one, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.
