Funky Fossil Folksy Christmas.

A few weeks back I had been playing with the Funky Fossil "Snow Flurry" Stencil, inking the surface and then spritzing water onto it, then printing the impression onto a plain piece of card. The background of this card is one from that play session, where I have inked the stencil with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks: Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet shades. I like the mottled look this achieves.
I then stamped the angel from the Funky Fossil "Folksy Christmas" Clear Stamp Set on to the bottom right hand corner of the card. I then stamped the image again on an off-cut of white card.
Using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, I stamped the words, Love, Peace and Joy across the background, these words form part of the "Folksy Christmas" stamp set.
I then stamped some snowflakes in the two shades of Distress Oxide Inks I mentioned earlier (Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon.
Returning to the angel stamped on the white card, I cut out the head and dress area, colouring with water colour pencils. I then adhered it with foam pads over the angel image stamped on the card, which gives a nice 3D look, especially with the wings in the background.
Today I've had a play with an angel, which is part of the Funky Fossil "Folksy Christmas" clear stamp set.
I started by using Distress Oxides Inks in "Blueprint Sketch" and "Chipped Sapphire" with a blender to create the blue background.
I then used "Mustard Seed" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil "Retro Starburst" stencil to create the star background. I added white dots between the yellow stars to replicate a starry sky using a Posca pen.
On a white sheet of card, I stamped the angel shape using a Versafine Clair Ink called "Cheerful".
I painted the angel hair using Distress Oxide Ink "Squeezed Lemonade". For the face I used "Tattered Rose" and for the cheeks "Picked Raspberry".
I used a gold glitter Signo pen to go around the edges of the angel and the detail on the wings. I used a Sakura Gelly Roll pen to colour the neckline and waist detail of the outfit.
Finally, I mounted the blue background onto a white piece of cardstock. Stamped the word "Peace" using Versafine Clair "Bluebelle" shade of ink. I then adhered the angel to the middle of the card using foam pads to provide some dimension.
Some friends of mine have introduced me to "The Thirty Day Colouring Challenge". I actually don't do much colouring. I stamp, I use stencils, I use brayers, but actual basic colouring, I just don't do. I would love to perfect a technique for using my new Arteza Coloured Pencils and Arteza Brush Pens, so I thought this would be the ideal opportunity to get some practice of both.
Day 1 of the challenge. I have stamped the Funky Fossil heart and love sentiment using their "Folksy Christmas" clear stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Glamorous".
I decided to colour the heart using an Arteza Coloured Pencil using a pink colour (ref: Fruit Punch A080). It's a simple bit of colouring, but I guess I have to start somewhere!
I will be posting my makes on my instagram account too: https://www.instagram.com/sam_squires_/
