Be adorable ►VLVS!

 Hello, my friends,

 It’s time for another page for my Art Journal.

This time used one of the larger sentiment stamps I have, I love the saying so much.

 Merken

I started by applying ink using a stencil and stamped the sentiment.  I added the “frame” and the circles. For more interest I stamped the numbers and the small branch. A few spritzers of “inked” water finished my project. 




I kinda love this piece 

My Art Journal and the colors I used:



Here is my list of stamps:

Sentiment

Stitching Lines from Plate 1459 

Row of scribbles circles/eyes

Row of Numbers

Branch

Have a good time, and thanks so much for stopping by.

 Luv ya ♥

Follow your heart ► VLVS!

 


Hello, my friends,

 It’s time for another page for my Art Journal.



I have used some of my Banksy stamps, which I hadn’t had my hands on for a long time.

I started by stamping the frame, added the lovely girls and the cross stitch for more color.

 




I stamped the sentiment 4 times without inking in between, I just love the effect, so old, and still good.

 Some spritzing with dilluted ink finished my page.

 I hope you like it, and here are the stamps I used: 

Girl with heart

Girl with balloons

Smear/Smudge (Frame)

Sentiment

Cross stitch

My friends, I wish you wonderful time,  

stay safe and find time to craft ♥

 Luv ya ♥

Christmas Bags ► VLVS!

 

 Hi, my friends, my last round for Christmas presents and cards.

 

Today I made bags for my friends and family, lots of bags. The bigger ones are plain paper bags, the smaller ones the Tim Holtz idea-ology Kraft Glassine pockets.

 I decided to go for a bit more elegance this year, so I chose to heat emboss in gold on black card stock. I used white ink to make sure my image was stamped correctly on the black background.

 I made a whole bunch of bags, I show you some in detail now.





With the flap open ...... 


 
Just to give you an impression when using different colors:

And here is a little something for the ones who forgot to makes cards at all and run out of time. This stamp is so easy, I have known the plate for quite some time, I never knew it was an image, that covered a whole card. So quick and easy and still beautiful!

 



I have used the following stamps:

Cheer Tree from plate 1370

Sentiment from plate 1363

5742

9921

267 Stick Tree

 It's A Merry Christmas from plate 1370

  A Merry Christmas to you all, have a great time, we will see each other in 2 weeks. 

Luv ya ♥

Happy Holidays ► VLVS

 

Hi my friends, this will be a very short posting since I’m pretty sick from getting a flu vaccination yesterday, too close to my last Corona vaccination.

 Merken

I had already started with my Christmas bags and will show you one now instead of posting it later in November.

 I inked watercolor paper, and stamped the SHEET OF NEWS PRINT

and added the PINE BRANCH on the edges. After stamping my Christmas sentiment HAPPY HOLIDAYS, I matted it and adhered it to my panel.



 Ready is my little gift bag for Christmas …. One of them!

 Merken



The versatile Sheet of News Print is from the new Plate 1529
