Edward from Visible Image

 Today I am showing you Edward from Visible Image Stamps.

I love Edward from Visible Image, and wanted to create a dark and moody card for him - Twilight-ish!  I stamped him directly onto my card base and coloured him using my copics.  I then masked him off and created the background using distress inks, and a masked circle for the moon.  Finally I stamped and ghost stamped the winter tree to create a wood.

 For more inspiration don't forget to check out the Visible Image's facebook page, and the Visible Image blog where we have a monthly challenge.  This month's theme is Brighten your day.

Good Luck

 Today I am showing you the Good luck Cat set from Visible Image Stamps.

A quick card this morning for a friend who is starting a new job.  I used all the elements from the Visible image good luck cat set and stamped them in versafine black ink.  I matted it onto black card, added some doodling and a couple of pearls.

A couple of cards using Visible Image stamps

 

 For this card I created the background using distress inks (broken china and peeled paint).  I stamped the Tall Grass using mown lawn distress ink and then stamped the large butterfly and butterflies onto the card using versafine ink.  I used peacock feathers and raspberry distress inks and swiped them onto my craft mat, misted them and swiped cardstock through them.  Having dried it,  I stamped the butterflies on to the cardstock and cut them out. I attached them over the stamped butterflies and finally stamped the Butterfly sentiment.

Today I am showing you Edgar from Visible Image Stamps.

I love Edgar and is girlfriend Clara :) (You will have to pop back later in the week for my card using Clara). Edgar is coloured in using my pens and then I used the fancy square decorative detail, (correct name is the damask stamp!!) from the Immortal Love set to do the grungy border.  I stamped it in vintage photo and then in walnut stain distress inks, before rubbing tea dye distress ink over the background.   I stamped the men's collage onto kraft cardstock using sepia ink and then distressed it.  The dp is Basic Grey and Bo Bunny and I distressed all the edges.  I added some jute webbing, a charm and some lasercut gears.

 And for more inspiration don't forget to check out the Visible Image's facebook page, and the Visible Image blog where we have a monthly challenge.  This month's theme is Brighten your day - we want to see bright colours.  And you could win a £10 voucher to spend on Visible Image stamps.
