Funky Fossil "Zen Mandala Die Set" Serenity Card

Here's another make using the fabulous new Funky Fossil "Zen Mandala Die Set". 

For the base of this card, I have used a patterned background paper from the Funky Fossil "Let It Snot" 6x6" paper pack.

I heat embossed the sitting meditating figure, from the Funky Fossil "Serenity" stamp set, using Wow! Blueberry from the earthtone collection.  I then stamped the sentiment from the same set, using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink.

Using a dark red cardstock, I used the central section of the "Zen Madala  die set" to cut the shapes on my Sizzix Big Shot machine.  I then adhered the shapes into postion on the card.

Finally, I used a gold glitter Signo Pen to add little touches of gold around the edge of the card and also some little speckles of interest to the background, before mounting the card onto a matching red background and then on to a cream coloured base.

Day 11 - 24 Days of Tags with Karen Telfer

 

Here's my Day 11 tag of the 24 Days of Tags challenge with Karen Telfer.

The background of this tag was made by scrunching up a tag tightly, the opening it out and inking over the raised areas with Distress Oxide Ink, creating the abstract background.  I used a Lavinia Stamp for the snowflakes, stamped in "London Fog" grey Memento ink.

Using patterned paper, rolled around an pencil and then glued, I created the Christmas tree using off-cuts of Funky Fossil "Let It Snow" patterned papers.  I used sequins for decorations and a snowflake charm to top the Christmas tree,

Funky Fossil Designs "Let It Snow" new paper pack preview

This Saturday, Funky Fossil Designs will be launching five new clear stamp sets and a 6"x6" paper pack.  

The new paper pack called "Let it snow", has 24 double sided sheets (2 x 12 designs) of festive loveliness.  Ideal for card making or scrapbooking as it is acid and lignin free.  The paper takes stamping and embossing really well too.

For this sample, I have used a Funky Fossil MDF base, sticking paper from the pack onto the Funky Fossil MDF star.

On one side I have multi stamped "Silent Night" adding gold gilding flakes and a gold heat embossed a Funky Fossil MDF stag head to the middle.  On the other I have added another stag head, this time heat embossed in a white glitter.
