Live Life

Hi everybody,

This weeks card is called Live Life, this card features a stamp set from Visible Image called Tomorrow Doesn't Exist.

This stamp is available from The Little Paper Tree Shop - just follow the link.  Don't forget to use discount code gail10 for 10% off your order.

Here's what you will need:

A4 White Stamping Card

Spectrum Noir Harmony ink Midnight (dark blue)
Versafine - Onyx Black
Versamark
Ranger White Embossing Powder
White Gesso
3D Foam
Sequins
Black Card for mounting
A5 Card Blank

Here's how I made it:

1. Stamped the Distress Oxides and the Salty Ocean Distress Ink onto a blending mat, spritzed it with water and swooshed the stamping card through it until you are happy with the effect.
2. Dry thoroughly with a heat gun.
3. Stamp the main image with Versamark and emboss with White Embossing Powder.
4. Add a bit of water to the White Gesso and splash all over the topper.  Let this dry.
5. Blend the edges firstly with the Dark Blue ink then the Black Soot Distress Ink.
6. Stamp the words onto a separate piece of white card, cut out and stick to the card using 3D Foam pads. 
7. Attach the odd sequin randomly.
8. Mount onto black card before attaching to the A5 card blank.

Hope you enjoy making my card.  If so, let me know.

Bye for now - more on Friday.

Woof and all that Tag

A little bit of black and white today.  HereIs one of the little dogs drawn by Tracey Hey.  I used black onyx Versamark ink to stamp the image onto spare card, coloured the image using watercolours and fussy cut it out.  I die cut a black tag and splodged it with white gesso. A little bit of silver gilding wax around the outside really contrasts well with the black and white. I stamped the Woof and all that sentimentand cut it out.  Both images were glued onto the tag. Black and white ribbon were added to as a final touch.

He just needs a name now!
