* Vera Lane Studio: Together


Hello!

Happy Monday!

Please allow me welcome my newest follower;

Today is my Vera Lane Studio DT day and I have made two projects this week. The first is here and the second will be posted later this afternoon.

I felt the need for a little quirkiness this week after a really miserable week, so I made a card with the whimsical Bird Houses digi set.



I coloured the birds and the house in bright colours with Copic markers and I added some white highlights. I fussy cut around the images, leaving a thin white border.
I made the background with a mixed media plate using a sprinkling of Infusions (Emerald Isle) and Brushos (turquoise) along with a spritz of Glimmer Mist. I used the plate as a stamp by securing it to an acrylic block. I added some Posca pen paint splashes to the circular print.
I cut myself a circular card mask to place over the coloured circle, then inked up a background stamp with Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I spritzed the inks with water and stamped around the circle. I used the same DOs to ink around the edges of the card and I added a little mesh stamping with Hickory Smoke DO. I added some splatters of Black Soot DO to the stamped background areas.
I glued the images directly onto the background. The sentiment was cut into strips, inked and adhered.




I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.
It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

  

Thanks for stopping by today.
