I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks to stamp the central flowers/foliage (Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass). I then stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I then mounted it on a sheet of the new Funky Fossil Kaleidescope patterned paper before adding finishing touches of Liquid Pearls in "Mermaid" and "White Opal" shades.
I used a sheet of patterned paper from the Funky Fossil "In to the blue" paper pack for the background. Die cut the moon from glitter paper and then the three trees from white card. I used the torn edge of the same white card and adhered on to the blue background, then adhered the trees. I added the "Silent Night" sentiment which is part of the Funky Fossil "Festive Phrases" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Paradise" blue ink. Finally I added snowflakes with a white Posca Pen and a touch of glitter.
For this sample, I reverse stamped the badger on the left and then stamped the badger on the right hand side. I made a mask for both badgers then stamped the mushrooms/toadstools in the background, using Versafine Clair "Tulip" and "Acorn". I coloured the sky with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink and the grass with a combination of "Twisted Citron", "Mowed Lawn" and "Rustic Wilderness".
I removed the mask and coloured the badger on the left with a purple and pink Posca Pen. I used Posca Pens to add dots to reflect flowers in the grass. The sentiment is part of the Funky Fossil "Small Print #2" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.
For this sample I stamped the sentiment (part of the new Funky Fruit stamp set) in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then sprinkled Wow! clear embossing powder on to the wet ink and heat set.
I then stamped the fruit, masking some. I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks. I coloured the fruit using assorted shades of Distress Oxide Inks, applied with a brush. Finally, I added small orange dots to the background area in between the fruit using a fine point Posca Pen.
I stamped the pear from the new "Funky Fruit" stamp set in two shades of Versafine Clair inks (Verdant and Shady Lane). I coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn). I then used a Sakura gelly roll pen.
Next, I lay a pear shaped mask over the top of the stamped and coloured pear using the Funky Fossil Blending brush and "Rusty Hinge" Distress Oxide ink to create the coloured background, I then used the same ink through the Funky Fossil "Dashing Background Stencil". Finally, I added the sentiment and edged the card in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.
This evening I had a quick play with my Lavinia Stamps, trying out the two most recent releases, the "Fairy Toadstool" and the "Orchard Grass" stamp.
I used a gel plate background, I had created some months ago using Colorbox Inks and diluted Brusho paint sprinkled over the surface.
Over the top of the background, I used "Seedless Preserve" Distress Oxide Ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Glory" stencil.
All stamping was done in various shades of Versafine Clair inks: Monarch, Morning Mist and Nocturne. I used a pink Posca Pen and a gold shimmer Sakura Pen on the toadstools.
The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamps and is part of their set called "Tiny Words - encouragement".
Here's another card I have made using the Funky Fossil Designs "Thank You Sentiment Die" which I have paired with the Funky Fossil "On The Shelf" stencil, coloured with water colour pencils.
