Vera Lane Studio: The Ordinary


Hello

It's Monday and my Vera Lane Studio DT day.  

Today there is a new release called The Ordinary. 

Here is my project:


Isn't she a sweet girl! 
I coloured the images with Copics and made a smooshed background with Oxide Inks. I love this colour combination. White splatters were added and I decided to stamp some foliage as her background.  I used a torn piece of Janet's Washi Tape from AALL & Create for grounding. 




That's all for now.

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

  

Here's all the info you need:

AALL & Create carry Janet's clear stamp sets, stencils and Washi Tape. 
A list of stockists can be found here.

I'd like to play along in these challenges:

Hello

It's Monday and my Vera Lane Studio DT day.  

Today I have a trinchie for April on my 2024 calendar. 

Here is my project featuring Smarty Plants:


I love this sweet girl tending to her veggies. I used Copics for colouring the images and made a background with oxide inks. AALL & Create stamps were used, some heat embossed in white, others inked in black.  I added a die cut grass border and adhered the images.


And here she is on the calendar:
