Misfit

Hello everyone, I'm sure at some point in our life we have all felt like a misfit. Today I'm sharing a journal page created using the Misfit stamp set from Clever Prints Ltd.

Begin by stamping the misfit image using versamatk ink, then add black embossing powder and heat set.

Next spritz Dylusions cherry pie ink spray onto the page, keeping it as close to the image as you can. Spritz with water and dry with a heat gun.

Using the patterned circle stencil and uncharted mariner distress ink, add three circles around the face being careful not to apply any ink to the face.

Using the worker stamps with uncharted mariner distress ink and versafine clair charming pink ink add detail to the background.

Add the words using versafine clair charming pink.

Finally colour the eye and lips. I used gelli roll glaze pens for the iris and lips and a white posca pen for the white of the eye and highlights.

Shady Designs Layered Card

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a step by step guide to creating a layered card using stamps, stencils and dies from Shady Designs.

Cut a piece of white card to 18cm square. Using the grid part of the framed stencil, with kitsch flamingo distress oxide, create a tiled pattern  in the left top and bottom right corners of the piece of card.

Use the Moroccan Trellis stencil, with shabby shutters distress ink to add another layer to the card.

Add another layer using the squares design from the this and that stencil with rustic wilderness distress oxide.

Stamp the main image from the pattern parade stamp set in opposite corners using rustic wilderness distress oxide.

Die cut the Moroccan trellis, the happy birthday ticker tape, 3 arrows and 2 of the spiky flowers from the die sets. Colour the spiky flowers by blending the kitsch flamingo ink over them. Blend shabby shutters over the tiles and the ticker tape banner. Edge  parts of the outside of both of these with rustic wilderness. 

Glue the happy birthday ticker tape to a piece of white card and cut right to the edges.

Glue the die cuts to the background. Use foam pads to raise the sentiment away from the background. Blend a little rustic wilderness around the edges of the piece.

Use worker stamps from the sur-round and encircled stamp sets, with Versafine Clair nocturne ink to add a further layer to the background.

Mount the finished piece on to a 20 cm square card blank.

Clever Prints - Retro Flower Art Journal Page

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing how i created this art journal page using Clever Prints Retro Fliwer stamp set, with die cuts from the Patrerned Flowers Borders set.

Die cut two of the circular border, one of the lines border and four each of the two small shapes from white card. Glue them to the a blank page.

Using the tube from inside the spray bottle of distress resist, scribble on areas of the oage. Leave this to dry completely. 

Stamp the flower once and one leaf shape three times, the other leaf shape stamp twice and stamp the circles twice using Versafine Clair Chianti ink. Colour all the images using a media of your choice. I used Karin Brushmarkers in neon colours, but softened them by scribbling the knk onto an acrylic block and picking it up with a damp paintbrush. Stamp your chosen sentiment in the same ink. Cut everythkngbout.

Blend kitch flamingo and seedless preserve distress ink and twisted citron distress oxide over the page. Use a piece of kitchen roll to wipe excess ink off of the resist scribbles.

Add more interest to the background using worker stamps from the stamp set using the chianti ink.

Glue all the stamped elements to the page.
