Funky Fossil Designs "Forest Friends" new stamp set preview #2




This Friday, 14th May 2021, Funnky Fossil Designs will be releasing a lovely selection of crafting goodies.  Included in the launch is a new stamp set, designed by Donna Gray and is called "Forest Friends".  Here's a preview sample I have made, using some of the smaller elements in the stamp set.

I used three shades of Distress Oxide Inks to stamp the central flowers/foliage (Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass).  I then stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I then mounted it on a sheet of the new Funky Fossil Kaleidescope patterned paper before adding finishing touches of Liquid Pearls in "Mermaid" and "White Opal" shades.

Funky Fossil Designs are releasing lots of lovely new products on their web site, this Friday 14th May 2021.  I've used the new "Quirky Layering Tree Dies" to make this really quick card.

I used a sheet of patterned paper from the Funky Fossil "In to the blue" paper pack for the background.  Die cut the moon from glitter paper and then the three trees from white card.  I used the torn edge of the same white card and adhered on to the blue background, then adhered the trees.  I added the "Silent Night" sentiment which is part of the Funky Fossil "Festive Phrases" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Paradise" blue ink.  Finally I added snowflakes with a white Posca Pen and a touch of glitter.

Today is the preview day for a fabulous new stamp set Designed by Donna Gray for "Funky Fossil Designs" called "Forest Friends".  This stamp set along with several other new products will be available to purchase from the Funky Fossil web site from this Friday, 14th May 2021. 

For this sample, I reverse stamped the badger on the left and then stamped the badger on the right hand side. I made a mask for both badgers then stamped the mushrooms/toadstools in the background, using Versafine Clair "Tulip" and "Acorn".  I coloured the sky with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink and the grass with a combination of "Twisted Citron", "Mowed Lawn" and "Rustic Wilderness".

I removed the mask and coloured the badger on the left with a purple and pink Posca Pen.  I used Posca Pens to add dots to reflect flowers in the grass.  The sentiment is part of the Funky Fossil "Small Print #2" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink.

Here's another sample using the brand new stamp set from Funky Fossil Designs called "Funky Fruit".  This stamp set, along with other goodies will be available to purchase from the Funky Fossil web site from Friday 14th May 2021.

It's preview day for a new stamp set called "Funky Fruit" from Funky Fossil Designs, which will be available to purchase from this Friday, 14th May. 

I stamped the pear from the new "Funky Fruit" stamp set in two shades of Versafine Clair inks (Verdant and Shady Lane).  I coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks (Antique Linen, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn).  I then used a Sakura gelly roll pen.

Next, I lay a pear shaped mask over the top of the stamped and coloured pear using the Funky Fossil Blending brush and "Rusty Hinge" Distress Oxide ink to create the coloured background,  I then used the same ink through the Funky Fossil "Dashing Background Stencil".   Finally, I added the sentiment  and edged the card in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" ink.
