Funky Fossil Designs Beauty in bloom bokeh card

Some time back, I fell in love with a stamp set by Funky Fossil Designs, called "Beauty In Bloom", I bought it, but because I was living in the caravan with minimal craft supplies, decided not to use it till I was in my own craft room.  That time has arrived and this card is the result of my first play.

I decided to keep the design simple by using the Funky Fossil "Bokeh builder stencil" with the ink that was on my blending brushes to get a very light look of colour.

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the Funky Fossil "Beauty in bloom" and sentiment from the same stamp set.

I used a pink and green colouring pencil from my Derwent Inktense set, applying the colour to the flowers using a paint brush.  Finally, adding some dimension with some dots of Ranger Enamel Accents in white.

Funky Fossil "Mini Daschunds" stencil Card

I've used a Brusho off-cut from a previous project for the central area of this card.  I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Mini Daschunds" stencil with Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I used the same ink to stamp the sentiments, which are part of the Funky Fossil "Happy Words" stamp set.

Penny Black "You're Retro 30-239!" Birthday Card

I've made this card for a rather competitive friend.  I wonder if he will recognise why I have opted for this image for his card? 

I have used the Funky Fossil Designs "Birthday Celebration Words Stencil" with Distress Oxide Inks for the background.

The central image from the Penny Black "You're Retro 30-239" clear stamp set, is stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks applied with a brush.  I have also used Posca Pens and Gelly Roll pens. The sentiments are from the same stamp set and is stamped in Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink.

Avery Elle "Weight Lifting" 18th Birthday Card

Following on from my post yesterday.  You may recall I wasn't happy with the 18th Birthday card I had made.  Today I have made another card which I am a lot happier with.

I used the same "Avery Elle" weigh lifting stamp, but this time used the Funky Fossil "Sunray Stencil" with "Candied Apple" Distress Oxide Ink to create the background, fading the colour out towards the edges.

I used a Lawn Fawn greeting from their "Simply Sentiments" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I coloured the figure with Posca Pens. 

 

I then die cut the 18 in the image and also in a layer of black Funky Foam.  I adhered the card and funky foam letters together then stuck them on to the card, so that the 18 is elevated out of the card, without it being too obvious.

Once dry, around the edge I used the Funky Fossil "A7 Inky Grid" stamp with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.  I splattered black and white paint from Posca Pens across the surface and added some dots of "Ruby Red" Liquid Pearls.

In the background I used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry with the Funky Fossil "Holly Background Stencil".

I splattered gold and black paint across the surface and drew a wavy black line around the edge of the tag using a thin pointed black pen.

I used "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide Ink through theFunky Fossil stencil called "Micro Dots" to add a touch of colour between the flowers.

Day 4 - 24 Days of Tags Challenge 2021 with Karen Telfer

It's Day 4 of the "24 Days of Tags Challenge with Karen Telfer".  I used an alternative stencil and sentiment as I didn't have the same that Karen used.

For my tag, I covered the base with "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink, as i thought the white may look too stark.

I used the Funky Fossil Designs "Leaf Trio Stencil" with "Tea Dye", "Festive Berries" and "Black Soot" Distress Oxide Inks.

I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne' black ink to stamp the sentiment, which is part of a Funky Fossil Stamp set called "Small Print".

Funky Fossil "Graffiti Wall" stencil

 

I've been playing today with Funky Fossil products, creating this grungey style card.

I've used a sheet of the Funky Fossil "Texture" patterned paper as the base and then laid the Funky Fossil "Graffiti Wall" stencil over the top, applying three shades of Distress Oxide Ink through the stencil (Rusty Hinge, Candied Apple and Rustic Wilderness).

I used the Funky Fossil A7 "Inky Grid" stamp for the corner details and their "Artsy" stamp set for the main sentiment, both stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink.  Finally, I inked the edges and added some splatters of Posca Pen.

Funky Fossil Designs "Hedghugs" stamp set

This morning I played with one of my lesser used Funky Fossil Designs stamp sets, it the one called "Paisley Prints".

I used Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" ink to stamps the paisley patterns (part of the "Paisley Prints" stamp set).  I added extra colour with a metallic silver pen and a white Posca Pen.

So half way through the challenge now, here's my Day 15 make for #thdailymarker30day colouring challenge.
