Funky Fossil Designs "Celestial" Card

I made this card using some older stamps from Funky Fossil Designs.  It was nice to reacquaint myself with them.

I started with a 6x6" piece of white card.  In the middle of the card, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the lightbulb, which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Celestial" stamp set.  

I then stamped the feathers, which are part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Magical" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink.

In the background, I randomly applied three shades of Distress Oxide Inks with a paint brush.  The colours I used are Tumbled Glass, Bundled Sage and Wilted Violet.  I Inked the edges of the card with the Wilted Violet too.

Next, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink, I stamped the hanging jewels, which are also part of the Funky Fossil Designs stamp set called "Celestial". I coloured the jewels with Posca Pens.

I then coloured the bulb and the feathers using Derwent Inktense pencils, applied with a paint brush.  Finally, I added touches of a gold gel pen to the feathers and a white gel pen for the highlights.

Funky Fossil "Magical" Stamp Set Release Day

After five days of previewing lots of new Funky Fossil Designs new goodies, today is the day when you can actually purchase them!

I have used the brand new stamp set called "Magical" for this sample and paired it with the new patterned paper pack from Funky Fossil called "Patina".  Patina is a lovely quality single sided 200gsm patterned paper and has some fabulous designs in shades of blues and golds.  It is an absolute pleasure to use it.  There is also a three pack of Washi tape, also called "Patina" to match this paper.

I used the Funky Fossil "Alpha Numeric" stencil with "Ripe Persimmon" Distress Oxide ink to add the numbers to the background of the paper.  I then added a few splatters of metallic gold and bronze paint and eedged the central area with a metallic gold pen.

Using Wow! Clear Embossing Ink, I stamped the feathers, then coated them with Wow! Rich Metallic Gold super fine embossing powder and heat set.  I used the same process to stamp the sentiment and then die cut it.  I then arranged the components, layering and matting them into position on to a cream linen card blank.  I gave the edges an aged look by lightly brushing "Rusty Hinge" Distress Oxide Ink around the edge of the card.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Magical" Preview 2

 

Here's another sample using the fabulous new Funky Fossil "Magical" stamp set.

I've stamped the image in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks applied with a paint brush.

I used the Funky Fossil "Star Burst" stencil for the background.  I used Wow! Clear Embossing ink through the stencil, then coated the area with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  I then used "Dusty Concord" Distress Oxide ink to colour the background, using a piece of paper towel to rub over the star surface to reveal the white stars.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Magical" Preview

It is Day 5 of previewing lots of lovely new goodies from Funky Fossil Designs.  Today I introduce you to the "Magical" clear stamp set, designed by Molly Arts.  The set consists of three feather designs, three sentiments and two feature stamps consisting of several elements.

For this sample, I decided to let the detail of one of the feather stamps in the "Magical" set do the talking by keeping the card very simple.

I used two shades of Versafine Clair inks on the feather stamp:  Morning Mist and Warm Breeze, I feel it gives a little more interest to the feather where the colours change and are lighter and darker.  I heat embossed the stamped image, by coating the feather image with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and then heat set.

I stamped the sentiment of "Sending healing thoughts" in two lines instead of one, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.
