Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Engine Room" Preview 3


I'm sharing another sample I have made with the fabulous new clear stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs called "Engine Room".
 



To create this card, I heat embossed the stamped car image from the Funky Fossil "Engine Room" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink with Wow! clear embossing powder.

I then added colour to the background by using "Stormy Sky" Distress Oxide Ink and "Chipped Sapphire" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil "Folk Floral Wallpaper" stencil.  

I used a stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set to stamp the script on the left hand side, using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.I then inked the edges using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.

I matted the stamped and stencilled image on to a page from the new Funky Fossil paper pack called "Patina".  Using an off cut of the same paper, I used the Funky Fossil "Happy Birthday Die" to cut the sentiment, which I then adhered into position.

Today, I am previewing another brand new stamp set from
Funky Fossil Designs.  It's the "Engine Room" clear stamp set, which I can see being very popular for birthdays and Father's Day card makes.  The Engine Room stamp set will be available to purchase from Friday 26th February 2021.



For this tag, I used the Funky Fossil "Crackle Background" stencil with "Bundled Sage" and "Peeled Paint" Distress Oxide Inks (I think this stencil may have been retired from the range, a shame as it's one of my most used ones).

I used a couple of strips of the new Funky Fossil "Patina Washi Tape" for the top and the bottom of the tag, this tape with other products will also be available on the 26th February.  I then decided the central area needed a bit more colour, so added some "Rusty Hinge" and "Chipped Sapphire" Distress Oxide ink.

Over the top of the background I stamped the engine using Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink,  I also inked the edges of the tag and stamped the sentiment using the same ink.

I decided it still needed a bit more colour, so I used the script stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set with Versafine Clair "summertime" orange ink, which lifted it a bit more.

Hi, I'm excited to share with you another brand new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs, this one is totally different from all previous stamp sets by Funky Fossil and is called "Engine Room".



"Engine Room Stamp Set" will be released with a selection of other new stamp sets, dies, papers and washi tape, this Friday 26th February 2021.



For this sample, I have used a sheet of the new Funky Fossil "Patina Patterned Paper" for the background.

I distressed it a little, by sanding areas, adding a little bit of copper foil and adding white and gold splatters to it using Posca Pens.

On a piece of cream coloured card, I stamped the engine image in Wow! Clear embossing ink, coated it with Wow! Rich Gold embossing powder and heat set.  I then gave it a blush coloured background with Distress Oxide Inks. I used a metallic gold pen on the edge of the area then mounted it onto dark green card.



Using a narrow off cut of orange card stock, I stamped the script using the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set with Versafine Clair "Chianti", a dark red coloured ink.  I then added a strip of one of the new Funky Fossil "Patina Washi Tapes" along the length of it and then inked the edges using the same "Chianti" ink.  I then adhered the card on to the prepared background and then added the engine image.



I used the new Funky Fossil "Cogs & Gears" die set to cut the chain and cogs in red card.  They cut perfectly and adhered into position.

Finally, I decided the card needed a sentiment, so I stamped one in Versafine "Vintage Sepia" using the Funky Fossil "Small Print" stamp set. Then matted and layered the background onto blue and black card.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Birdsong" Preview 4



Here's another sample I have made using the fabulous new clear stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs called "Birdsong".



For the background of this card, I have used the Funky Fossil "Abstract Flowers" stencil with three shades of Distress Oxide inks:  Carved Pumpkin, Festive Berries and Mustard Seed.

I stamped the two bird images on to white card and then coloured them in using Distress Oxide inks, applied with a brush.  I then cut out the bird shapes and adhered on to the prepared background.  Finally, I used some gold Stickles to add a bit of sparkle to the central areas of the flowers.

As you may have gathered I can't stop creating using the new Funky Fossil Designs clear stamp set called "Birdsong".  



For this card, I have used the Funky Fossil "In The Clouds" stencil with the Funky Fossil "Round Tree" stencil for the bush area, both coloured with Distree Oxide inks.

I stamped the bird and the sentiment in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.  I then stamped the bird in the same ink on a piece of white card, and heat embossed the image using Wow! clear embossing powder.  I coloured the bird using Distress Oxide Inks and Posca pens.  Cutting out the bird shape and adhering on to the card.

Here's another sample that I have created using the fabulous new Funky Fossil Designs stamp set called "Birdsong".  



For this card, I have teamed the "birdsong" stamp set with another new Funky Fossil product called "Leafy Circle" which is a die and is on a sheet of the the brand new Funky Fossil paper called "Patina.  So this is new, new, new!


To create this card, I started with a base of a sheet of paper from the new Funky Fossil "Patina" paper pack.

I used the script stamp from the Funky Fossil "Musings" stamp set, stamped in Wow! clear embossing ink and sprinkled with Wow! Oceanic embossing powder and heat set.

I die cut two of the new Funky Fossil "Leafy Circle" and adhered together to make a stronger die cut.  I then coated the die cut with Wow! clear embossing powder, sprinkled Wow! "Mistletoe Magic" embossing powder over the wreath die cut and heat set.  I then adhered the die cut on to the card base.

Next I stamped the bird from the Funky Fossil "Birdsong" stamp set on white card, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I immediately sprinkled the stamped image with Wow! clear embossing powder and heat set.  I coloured the bird image with Distres Oxide inks applied with a brush, then cut out and adhered the bird on to the card.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, also part of the the "Birdsong" stamp set.

Funky Fossil New Stamp Set "Birdsong" Preview



It is Day 2 of sharing with you another fabulous new clear stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs.  This set is called "Birdsong" and is definitely already a favourite of mine. 


I was really happy with the clean design of this card.  For the background, I used the Funky Fossil "Swallows" stencil. I then die cut a circle in a piece of card and lay the outer area of the die cut over the "Swallow" stencil and filled the area with "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink. after removing both stencils, it left me with a lovely circular image of the birds.

I stamped the bird on to the card using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then stamped the same image on to a small piece of card using the same ink and coated the stamped image with Wow! Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

I painted the bird with a selection of Distress Oxide inks, cut out the image and then adhered it on to the card base/
