She was a dreamer ► VLVS!

                                       Good morning, my dear friends.


Today I show you a card I created just for fun, no special occasion. I just needed some color in the dull light of the days in winter.

 

I applied distress ink to a watercolor panel and stamped my background images on top. The birds also got some texture with the “Writing and Scribble Collage” stamp.

 





Have fun crafting!


The Stamps I used:

Way Bill – 
19416

Writing and Scribble Collage - 20695

Ray Silhouette - 19896

Sentiment 19635 from plate 1459


Luv ya ♥

Hi Lovelies, it’s time for another pen holder.

 


This time I used a lot of sentiment besides some of the lovely mixed media images.

Spiral from plate 1127

Doodle Dots from plate 1471

Spend your life …..

 

I added some of the Tim Holtz “Crochet” Thinlets and inked all the edges. I love this litte piece, it found its place in my kitchen.

 Some close ups for you .....





Have fun crafting, see you next time.


                                                                          Luv ya

Why fit it ..... ► VLVS!

 

My friends,

 

today I show you a gift bag I made for a friend for Halloween. Unfortunately, I didn’t find my Happy Halloween Stamp, so I just used another one, which I thought also served the purpose.

 


I stamped the Grumpy cat, and masked it with a piece of paper before adding distress inks and the winter scene. I gave the cat some wings to fit my sentiment.

 

This goes to my friend filled with spices and other goodies tonight, she’ll have a blast.

 





I used the following stamps:

 

Tree (Winter Wood Scene)

Grumpy cat

Sentiment

Wings from plate 1459

 

Have lots of fun today, get scary!
 
BOO

 Luv ya ♥

Follow your heart ► VLVS! Blog

                                            Good morning, my Lovelis,

 

today I show you a birthday card with the beautiful Butterfly specimens.

 


I spritzed some distress ink on my panel, added the grungy circles and stamped the main image. I added the sentiment four times without reinking and framed my card with the smear/smudge stamp.

 

As an afterthought I added the little heart from the Banksy girl stamp.  I will add a Birthday stamp on the inside, I couldn’t decide which one yet. I will add it during the day.

 





The stamps I used.

20391 - Follow your heart

19430 Balloon from “Banksy girl with balloon

19415 Butterfly specimens

19563 Grungy circles

19573 Smear/Smudge


Have a wonderful start into the new week and find time to enjoy the beautiful colors of autum.


Luv ya ♥
