Funky Fossil Designs Hochanda TV April 2020 - Set 2 #1


Sarah of Funky Fossil Designs will be appearing on Hochanda TV on Saturday 4th April 2020 with a selection of lovely goodies.

This is a sample I have made for the show using an "art board".  

On a plain piece of turquoise coloured card, I stuck sections of text torn from an old book.  Then gave the whole area a turquoise coloured wash.

Once dry, I used the "Funky Circle Stencil" and "Stormy Sky" Distress Oxide Ink to create part sections of the circle.

On plain white card, I stamped some of the flowers and leaves from the new "Funky Florals" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink.  I also stamped a few swirls onto the base I had already prepared.  I then used the same ink through the "Distressed Diamonds stencil".

I fussy cut the flowers and leaves.  I added some Stickles glitter to the centre of the flowers and used Signo glitter pens on the leaves.  I then adhered the shapes on to the art board to create a garland of flowers from top to bottom.

Funky Fossil - "Wild Things" Elephant Birthday Card


I've made a birthday card for a little one today using the Funky Fossil "Wild Things" stamp set.  

I used a leafy embossing folder that came with a magazine for the background and covered it with two shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  First with "Cracked Pistachio" and then on the leaf areas I used "Mowed Lawn".

I stamped the elephant in the middle of the green base and also on a piece of plain white card, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I then stamped the sentiment, using a Personal Impressions stamp set called "Double Sayings" in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

I then painted the elephant on the white piece of card, using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Weathered Wood and Spun Sugar.  I fussy cut the coloured elephant shape and adhered it onto the card over the outline image of the elephant.

Lawn Fawn "Critters On The Farm" Birthday Card


I've made a birthday card for a two year old today using the Lawn Fawn "Critters on the farm" fussy cut and coloured with Arteza Brush pens.  I've used a "Simon Says Stamp" die cut sentiment and patterned paper by "My Minds Eye", "Life of the party" paper stack.

Definitely not my best work, but I doubt the birthday boy will notice.
