Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Small Print 2" Preview 3



I'm sharing a card with you today using one of the new Funky Fossil Designs clear stamp sets, today I am previewing "Small Print 2".  A fabulous set of really handy words and phrases, ideal for so many creations.  "Small Print 2" will be available to purchase from 9th Aptil 2021.



I've used lots of different Funky Fossil products to create this card.  Starting with the cake and sprinkles in the middle of the card, which are part of the "Cupcake Crazy" clear stamp set.  Stamped in Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink and "Acorn" brown ink, coloured with Distress Oxide Inks.

The next layer I have used the Funky Fossil "Mini Daschunds" stencil, coloured with "Tea Dye" Distress Oxide inks.  I then die cut a circle aperture in the middle of the card and adhered over the top of the cupcake background.

I then stamped the "Bring on the cake" sentiment which is part of the new "Small Print 2" clear stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink.

On a piece of white card, I stamped the dog, which is part of the new  "More Furry Friends" clear stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.  I coloured the image using Distress Oxide Inks then adhered on top of the card.  

Finally, I added a dot of Ranger "Glossy Accents" to the nose of the dog, so that it looks wet and added dots of "Crystal" stickles to the sprinkles background to add some extra dimension to the card.

New and introducing a new clear stamp set from Funky Fossil called "More Furry Friends".



For the background of this card, I have used the Funky Fossil "Rounds in dots" stencil, using the largest circle with "Spiced Marmalade" Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped the dog image, part of the "More Furry Friends" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink over the dotty background.  I also stamped the same image on a small piece of white card, colouring the dog image and cutting it out and adhering over the stamped image on the card.  I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Finally, with red card I punched the heart shapes.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "More Furry Friends" Preview



Today, I'm previewing another brand new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs.  This one is called 'More Furry Friends" designs by Donna Gray.  There are five new Funky Fossil Design stamp sets being released for sale on 9th April 2021.



I had this idea in my head for a card using the tree from the new "Heartfelt Tree" stamp set and one of the dogs from the "More Furry Friends" stamp set cocking its leg against the tree, so I decided to attempt to put it on to a card, resulting in this, which I have to say makes me smile.  I especially like the fact that he is whistling while doing his business and then the sentiment of "Let it go" says it all!

For the background, I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Blueprint Sketch for the sky area and Twisted Citron blended with Mowed Lawn for the lower area).

I've used four Funky Fossil stamp sets to create this card, "Heartfelt Tree", "More Furry Friends" and "Small Print 2",all brand new stamp sets and "Plant a garden" stamp set which has been available for a while.

I have stamped the images in various shades of Versafine Clair Inks, colouring with Distress Oxide Inks and Posca Pens.

Here's a card I've made using the new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs called "Artsy". 



For this card, I have used a sheet of Funky Fossil patterned paper from the "In to the blue" paper pack. for the base.

I've used the Funky Fossil "Micro Dots" stencil with Distress Oxide inks ( Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch) on white card.  On a separate piece of card, I used the same coloured inks to create the coloured background and then used the same stencil.  I then stamped the sentiment and brush in Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink and die cut into a banner shape.

Lavinia Stamps "Tree of Hope" with "Horse & Foal" Card



I have continued to play with my Lavinia Stamps, making this card, using one of my oldest and one of the most recent "Lavinia Stamps". 

For the base, I used a gel plate background I created some months ago using Colorbox Inks and diluted Brusho paint.  I enhanced the background to create a landscape using Pan Pastels.

I used the "Tree Of Hope" stamp which was released by Lavinia a couple of weeks back and one of my older Lavinia Stamps the "Horse and Foal" stamp.  All stamping was in various shades of Versafine Clair inks.  I also used Posca Paint pens and a pencil too

Lavinia Stamps "Wild Hare" Glade Tag




I had another play with my Lavinia Stamps, again using techniques learnt by watching the Lisa Taggart (Inky Bliss) tutorial I watched the other day. 

For the base I used Distress Oxide Spray inks and Pan Pastels.  I have used Lavinia Stamps throughout the tag (Wild Hare Set, Twisted Vine Set, Jasmine & Sebs House, Tree Stem, Tree Den and the Mini Meadow Mushrooms) all stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks.

I have also used Posca Paint Pens and Signo pens for accents.
