Visible Image "Daisy Grunge" Smile Card

While my Visible Image stamps and stencils were out, I decided to have a further play, making this card.

To start with, I used a white card, laying the Visible Image "Daisy Daisy" stencil over the top and applying two shades of Ranger Archival Inks (Cornflower Blue and Garden Patina) through the stencil with a blending brush.

Using Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink, I stamped the large daisy from the Visible Image "Daisy Grunge" stamp set.  Using the same ink, I stamped the solid daisy from the Visible Image "Imperfection Is Beauty" stamp set.

Between the flowers, I stamped the word "Smile" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, which is also part of the Visible Image "Daisy Grunge" stamp set.

I used three shades of Van Goch Pastel Pencils to colour the petals of the large daisy, using an orange and a yellow colour to colour the middle of the flowers, adding touches of yellow and orange Posca Pen dots to the same area.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to some petals and to add some white dots across the card.

Visible Image "Bad Day" Card

Today I have played with some of my new Visible Image products.

I used the "Bad Day" stamp set.  I stamped the face in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks and a white Posca Pen.  I then stamped the image again to create a mask so that I could create the background.

I used three of the new Visible Image stencils for the background:  Daisy Daisy, Ripped Fishnet and Heavy Rain, using assorted shades of Distress Oxide inks.

Finally I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I also inked the edges using the same ink and added a touch of Ranger Glossy Accents to the teardrop.
