Hello!
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Here in the UK we are on Day 7 of the lockdown. These are scary times and being physically isolated from family and friends doesn't half make you miss them. I truly believe when we come through this, the world will be a better place.
Today is my DT day at Vera Lane Studio. Janet has a new release out - Lil' Queen of Hearts, and she is such a cutie! Here is what I made using just one of the five digis from the set:
I coloured the queen with Copic markers and fussy cut her. Her mixed media background was made by smooshing greys and red Distress Oxides onto card, then stencilling the diamonds with inks and adding texture paste through Lotsa Dotz. I added some white stamping and some red flourishes and inked the edges with black archival. White paint splatters finished off the background.
I popped the Queen of Hearts onto foam pads and placed her gave her on torn washi. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz's 'Snarky Impertinent' Sticker Pad.
It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
Here's all the info you need:
Thanks for stopping by today.
