* Vera Lane Studio: Fisherwoman

Hello!

Last week at Vera Lane Studio we had a new release - the cute and quirky Fisherwoman and this digi set comes with a pre-coloured collage image, two black & white digi stamps and two sentiments.

I used the pre-coloured image for my card:

The Fisherwoman was sized and printed out several times and then fussy cut. I only needed one Fisherwoman, but wanted the fish from the other images. I gave the Fisherwoman brown eyes and added Glossy Accents to the fish to make them shine.
The background was inked with Distress Oxides in Vintage Photo, Brick Red and Mustard Seed. Stamping was added with oxides around the edges with a flourish stamp and in the centre with some dots. Black paint splatters were flicked on with a fan brush and the edges stamped with a grunge background stamp in black ink.
I added some texture trim and hessian trim to ground the images and attached the Fisherwoman and her fishy catch on foam dots to pop them off the card. The sentiment was cut into strips, adhered and outlined in black.

That's all from me for today.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.

* Vera Lane Studio: Frankie's Mansion

Hello!

At Vera Lane Studio we have another new release today. It is Mansion Gates, a set which is incredibly versatile. I chose to team it with Frankie and Carlos to make a Halloween card; they are welcoming you 'foolish mortals' to their home :)

I chose a background of creepy trees, added the Mansion Gates png image and printed it out. I coloured the gate posts and the gargoyle with Copic markers and inked around the edges in black. Frankie, Carlos and Corbett, the crow, were printed separately, coloured with Copics and fussy cut. I glued Corbett directly to the background as if he is sitting on top of the gate and popped Carlos and Frankie on foam tape for dimension. The sentiment, from Mansion Gates, was cut into strips, adhered to the background and outlined with fine liner in black.

I love Frankie's high waisted trousers - they remind me of Simon Cowell!!

How cute is Carlos! And Corbett, the crow, is creepy cute and quirky! The gargoyles can be used separately to the stone/brick pillars and the gates could be the entrance to a princess's palace or to a spooky old house where witches gather - just use your imagination and the list is endless!

* Vera Lane Studio: Frankie and Bride

Hello!

At Vera Lane Studio we're getting ready for Halloween with two creepy-cute new sets released today. One set is called Frankie and the other is Bride (of Frankenstein) and they go together perfectly!

Here is the card I made:

I inked some mixed media card with Distress Oxides and blending tools, masking off a circle shape to represent the moon. I dry embossed the inked paper in a birch tree embossing folder and swiped Black Soot Distress Ink over the raised tree trunks, smudging onto the sky to suggest the inky darkness of night time.

Frankie and his bride were coloured with Copics and pencils and fussy cut. They are glued directly onto the embossed background and one of the sentiments, from the Bride set, was cut into strips, adhered and outlined in black.

I matted the background onto purple card and placed it onto an orange coloured card to pick up colours from the background.

* Vera Lane Studio: Autumn Sunflower ATC

Hello,

Here is my second ATC for the Vera Lane Studio ATC swap:

I used Sunflower as my focal image and teamed her with the hedgehog from Helga's Hedgehog. I coloured the images with Copics and added some white Posca pen highlights. The images were then fussy cut.

My background is acrylic paint with a little Vintage Photo stamping and some black paint splatters. I added some raffia trim to ground my images, then applied some strokes of gold acrylic paint all over. The sentiment was printed, cut into strips and outlined with black fine liner. To finish, I added some gold crystal gem trim to the top left corner and inked the edges in black..
