Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 6



This is my make for Day 6 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplaychallenge.  I've used spray inks to stamp an image.

I used four shades of Distress Oxide Sprays:  Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch and Twisted Citreon to stamp (using a Misti) the bird image,  which is part of the Visible Image "Life is beautiful" stamp set.



Once dry, I used "Shaded Lilac" Distress Oxide Ink through the Visible Image "Strobes" stencil.  I inked the edges with the same ink and then used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to ink the edges again.

The sentiments is part of the same stamp set and stamped again in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.

Visible Image Stamps "Life Is Beautiful" card



Having had a few days away, I'm back in my "happy place" crafting again.  The sun is shining and all is good in the world!

This card features a Visible Image stamp set and several of their stencils and a whole host of different inks! 



I started with a white piece of card and "Milled Lavender" Distress Ink.  I put some ink on my glass mat, then lightly spritzed it and then swooshed the white card through the ink.  I then used my heat gun to dry the surface before repeating the process with four more Distress Inks:  Victorian Veleve, Tea Dye, Weathered Wood and Old Paper.

Next I used "Peat Moss" Ranger Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Seeing Stars" stencil, uising the chequerboard section of the stencil.

I then used "Garden Patina" Ranger Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Strobes" stencil on the left hand side of the card.

After that, I used "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Strobes" stencil on the top right hand side of the card.

I then used "Cornflower Blue" Ranger Archival Ink through the Visible Image "Breakout" stencil" at the base of the card.

Moving on to the stamping, I used Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink to stamp the bird and words, all part of the Visible Image "Life Is Beautiful" stamp set.

Placing a mask over the bird, I stamped the circles, also part of the Visible Image "Life Is Beautiful" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I used Van Goch pastel pencils to add depth of colour in areas.

Placing the mask back over the bird and strips of paper over the words, I used Dr PH Martin's "Bleed Proof White Paint" with a fan shaped brush to create splatters across the surface.

Removing the masks, I edged the card in Versafine Clair "Twilight" ink using a finger dabber.

I then used white and black Ranger "Enamel Accents" for extra dots.

Finally, mounting the piece on to navy blue card and then on to a white card blank.

Visible Image - "Born To Perform" Ballet Tag


I've played with Visible Image stamps today, making this tag.


I used a Distress Oxide background I had made a few days ago.

I stamped all the images including the edging in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.  I used a Posca pen to fill in the white circles.

The ballet figure and the sentiment is from a Visible Image stamp set called "Born To Perform".  I used three other Visible Image stamp sets ("Life Is Beautiful", "Set The Tone"  and "You are not alone") on this tag too.

Week 18 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019


The prompt for Week 18 is 'Just One Stamp".

This prompt sounds really easy, but actually I found as soon as there is a restriction on using stamps I found I wanted to use lots of them.

The background of the tag was created using Colorbox Inks brayered onto a Gelli plate and then speckled with Brusho.  Once dry, I used a Tim Holtz Distress Ink in the shade of "Peacock Feathers" through a Stampers Anonymous stencil (THS003 Rays).

I stamped the Visible Image bird (part of the "Life Is Beautiful" stamp set) using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" shade of ink.  I inked the edges of the tag and then mounted it onto black card.  Finally, I added some Green Stickles glitter to replicate the sheen that can cometimes be seen on birds with dark feathers.

You're Amazing - Visible Image Card


I took advantage of the 50% off Black Friday offer at Visible Image.  My order arrived late morning and I have wasted no time in trying out some of my new goodies!

I have used three Visible Image products to create this card. This bird is from the "Life is beautiful" set, the sentiment is from the "One of a kind" set and the background is a stencil called "Meshing around".

I stamped the bird in two shades of Versafine Clair ink "Green Oasis" and "Paradise".  The un-inked area of the bird, I painted using a Distress Ink in the shade of "Lucky Clover".  I then created a mask and positioned it on top of the main image using a repo adhesive.

For the stencilled background I used two shades of Distress inks "Wilted Violet" for the inner shade which was covered with "Chipped Saphire" on the outer areas.

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair "Green Oasis".  I added extra colour to the bird using a grey Promarker and also some shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.
