Vera Lane Studio: Christmas Whiskers

Hello

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

Today there is a new digi set release called Christmas Whiskers and it features three festive kitty cats, a kitty bed and a sentiment.

Here is my project:

I made a trio of trinchies and I teamed the Christmas Whiskers with the Doodle Tree Lot.

I used Copic markers for colouring and Distress Oxide in Cracked Pistachio for the background. I smooshed white card into puddles of ink and when dry I added white spatters and some iridescent gold Glimmer Mist. I also added some tone on tone stamping, a little white embossing and some black star stamping around the edges. All stamps used are from AALL & Create. I used washi tape to ground my images and chose a selection of sentiments.

That's all for now.

* Path of Positivity #117 Midway: Grown with Love

Hello

Welcome to the midway reminder for the November Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by TEXTURE.

Honours and Prizes include:

$6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project:

My project was totally inspired by watching some of Tracy Evans's YouTube videos. I love the stencilled, crackle paste, textured background and the vintage colours from the Distress Oxide ink spray. Tracy's video can be viewed here: Stencils and Texture. The boots and cyclamen are stamped and partially coloured with Inktense watercolour pencils, and this arrangement was inspired by Tracey's snippet video: Snippet #3.

That's all for now.
We would love to see your creations!
Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!

Vera Lane Studio: Antony & Cleopatra

Hello

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

Today there is a new digi set release and it is Antony and Cleopatra.

Here is what I made:

I used Copics to colour the digis and popped them on an Oxide background which has heat embossing and stamping using AALL & Create stamps. The characters are grounded with torn, gold washi tape. Lots of white and gold splatters were applied and some gold acrylic paint was smeared around the edges.

Vera Lane Studio: Present, Patient, Peaceful

Hello

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

Today at Vera Lane Studio we have a new digi set release. The set is called called Present, Patient, Peaceful and features a lovely, long legged girl laying in the meadow, some grasses, a couple of flowers, a sun and a cloud. The three words 'Present, Patient, Peaceful' form the sentiment.

Here is my project:

I coloured the images with Copics and fussy cut them. I made the background by stamping with a stencil loaded with Oxide inks,. I added some white embossed hearts and some crackle texture hearts using an AALL & Create stencil. A little black stamping was added around the edges and lots of white splatters. I grounded my girl by making a shadow with with Inktense watercolour pencils.

Here is close up:

That's all for now.

* Path of Positivity: Go with the Flow

Hello

Welcome to the midway reminder for the August Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by the sea.

Honours and Prizes include:

$6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

I decided to use the whale stamp from the AALL & Create stamp set, 'Sea Life' " for my project:

I stamped the image onto white card and then stamped the whale again to make a paper mask to place over the original whale, so that I could add ink around it. I added extra watercolour to the hexagons and seaweed and finished with plenty white splatters.

I matted the image onto black card, then made a second mat from blended blue oxides. I love the 'Go with the Flow' sentiment.

Here is a close up:

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations!

Vera Lane Studio: Venice

Hello

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

Today I have used an older digi set called Venice for my project. It features two squishy characters, a boy gondolier and a girl tourist, along with a gondola, a mooring pole and two sentiments.

Here is my project:

I coloured the images with Copics and fussy cut them. I made the background by braying acrylic paint and adding some heat embossed texture with AALL & Create stamps. A little black stamping was added around the edges and some grey, stump-like shadows of mooring poles along with plenty of white splatters. I used washi tape to ground the girl.

Here are some close ups:
