Funky Fossil "Lotus Reflections" Card

I received my delivery of the new Funky Fossil stamps today, and got crafting immediately.  I had already routed through my gel plate/ pan pastel backgrounds and put aside a couple of backgrounds that I thought would suit the new "Lotus Reflections" stamp set.

I stamped the main image and sentiment in Wow! Clear Embossing Ink and then covered both with Wow! Rich Gold Super Fine Embossing Powder and heat set.

At the same time, I stamped the individual lotus flower on to a small off-cut of a purple background I had saved and heat embossed in the same gold powder, I then cut out the flower and adhered into position.

Because some of the background design was quite faint I went over some of the background area with the "Forest Foliage" and "Distressed Diamonds" stencils with "Blueprint Sketch" Distress Oxide Ink.

I edged the gel plate background with a metallic gold pen line and then added some gold dots to the background, before mounting on to purple card.

I made this tag using a background sprayed wity Dylusions Ink Spray in "Squeezed Orange" and "Bubblegum Pink" shades.

I used a red glossy dimension paste through the Funky Fossil "Full of love" stencil".  Once that was dry, I added some "Wilted Violet" Distress Oxide Ink to the top right and bottom left corners of the tag where there was less colour.

I used "Blueprint Sketch" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil "Micro Squares Stencil" for the areas around the heart shape.

I then used black texture paste through the Funky Fossil "Distressed Diamonds Stencil" in opposite corners of the tag.

In the two empty corners of the tag, I stamped feathers that are in the Funky Fossil "Adventure" clear stamp set stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I used a white Posca pen to add lighter areas to the feathers and also small dots between the hearts that make up the big heart shape.  

Finally, I adhered a die cut sentiment in white to the middle of the heart.

Funky Fossil Floral Beauty Tag with Texture Paste

I've been playing with stencils this morning, creating this tag.

The background colour is a Distress Oxide Spray ink combo using "Spiced Marmalade and  Iced Spruce".  I then gave it a wash of diluted white gesso, just to give some variant to the overall look.

I used the That's Crafty "Black Texture Paste" through a Funky Fossil stencil called "Floral Beauty then set aside to dry.

Once dry, I used a Distress Oxide ink called "Festive Berries" through theFunky Fossil "Micro Dot" stencil.

Next, I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink through the Funky Fossil "Distressed Diamonds" stencil.  I then inked the edges of the tag.

Using a metallic gold pen, I coloured in the flower area of the neck and hair.

I used a Tim Holtz Ideaology "Small Talk (TH93193)" sticker, cut in half for the sentiment.
