Funky Fossil Bokeh Tag

This evening, I had an urge to make a tag, deciding to use Funky Fossil Designs products throughout. 

I used the Funky Fossil "Bokeh Builder" stencil to create the coloured discs in the background, using Wild Honey, Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil.

I then used the Funky Fossil "Burlap Texture" stencil with "Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink at the top and the bottom of the tag.

Next, using Versfine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I multi stamped the text which is from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set.

I stuck some of the Funky Fossil "Quirky Tree die" cut shapes on to the tag.

Next I used a sentiment from the Funky Fossil "Lotus Reflections" stamp set, stamping on a plain piece of card using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink, cutting to size and adhering into postion.

I then used "Faded Jeans" Distress Oxide Ink to colour the edges of the tag, finally adding some of the Funky Fossil "enamel dots" to embellish the tag.

Funky Fossil Designs "Chilled Chicas" new stamp set - Preview 2

Funky Fossil Designs are releasing lots of lovely new products on their site, this Friday 18th June 2021.  There are stamp sets, patterned papers, dies and washi tapes too.

For this sample, I have used the new "Chilled Chicas" stamp set, on a background created using the Funky Fossil "Daisy Background Stencil" with "Spun Sugar" Distress Oxide Inks.  The sentiment is from another Funky Fossil stamp set called "Happy Words".  The small detail in the background is part of the Funky Fossil "Lotus Reflections" stamp set

Funky Fossil "African Woman Stencil" gel plate card

This morning I got my gel plate out and had a quick play with a couple of Funky Fossil stencils to create this card. 

I used a brayer to apply Versafine Clair "Summertime" orange ink to the gel plate, I popped a piece of copy paper over the inked plate to remove surplus ink, then lay the Funky Fossil "Organic Circles" stencil over the gel plate.  I then placed a piece of card over the top and lightly added pressure across the surface to ensure the negative image of the stencil was on the card.

I removed the card and the stencil, cleaning the stencil, gel plate and the brayer with a wet cloth to remove any residue of ink.

I cut down the printed image to my desired size, then lay the Funky Fossil "African Woman" stencil.  I used some low tack tape to hold the stencil into position.  Using a finger dauber, I applied Versafine Clair "Glamorous" pink ink through the stencil.  Using the same ink, I stamped the sentiment which is part of the Funky Fossil "Lotus Reflections" stamp set.

I used "Picked Raspberry" Distress Oxide ink around the edges of the card, to focus the eye on the main image.  I added a touch of water to the remaining ink on my glass mat, using a fan brush, I splattered the pink ink across the surface of the card, blotting with a piece of kitchen roll.Finally, I inked the outer edge of the card using Versafine Clair "Glamorous" pink ink.

Funky Fossil "Indian Mandala Stencil" on kraft card

I've continued my play with kraft card, this time using the Funky Fossil "Indian Mandala Stencil" , using three shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon and Blue Print Sketch.

The sentiment is part of the Funky Fossil "Lotus Reflections" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.

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.
