Visible image DT post - Create and Craft Samples

 Today I am showing you a couple of sample I made using the Create and Craft sets from Visible Image Stamps.


Visible Image Blog Badge, Blinkie
This one uses the Molly Rules set ...
You get 6 stamps in the set - Molly, the sentiment, barbed wire, splat, heart and skull.  She sold out on Create and Craft before the end of the show, but hopefully Visible image will be making more of this amzing set.  Molly is coloured in using my copics and I distressed the background before stamping splats round it.  I stamped the barbed wire onto the MME dp and then stamped the skull and hearts and cut them out.  Finally I added the sentiment.

And this is Katie Kisses ...
I stamped Katie out and coloured her in using my copics.  I added some liquid pearls and stickles to the butterflies.  I stamped the flower border round 2 sides of the cardstock and again coloured them in using my pens.  Having stamped the sentiment I added some teeny pearls to it, and to the centres of some of the flowers.  Finally i tied the ribbon and bow and added 2 flowers from the flower border to the corners of the image.

 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 isVisible image has character - you have just a few more days to get your entry in.

That Craft Place challenge

 Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is flowers.


I went for a white on white look with just a wee splash of yellow in the pearls.  I cut out the fancy labels nad the labls mat, and stamped the Visible Image sentiment onto it, before popping it onto foam pads and layering it onto the mat.  Using my score board I created the backgrouns, and simply added a few pearls to the diamonds.  I added organza ribbon nad a bow.  The flowers are made using Marianne Cretible CHinese rose dies and I punched leaves out.

Crafty Sentiments has a new digi stamp - Harriet ...

 

 How cute and adorable is Harriet???!!!  She is Crafty Sentiments latest digi image, and  I just had to colour her up.  I wanted to do a card that really showed her off, so I printed her out with plenty of space around her and created this CAS card.  Having coloured her I simply stamped the sentiment from Visible Image, and faux stitched round her.  I punched the butterflies out and added pearls to their centres.

Visible image DT post

Today I am showing you a tag I have created using a selection of stamps from  Visible Image Stamps.


Visible Image Blog Badge, Blinkie

I used distress inks to create the background on my tag, and when they were dry I spritzed some glimmer mist over to give a bit of sparkle.  While the tag was drying I stamped up the Corset and coloured it in using my pens, before cutting it out.  Then I used stamps from the Sewing room set and stamped them in versafine ink directly onto the tag.  I added the Corset, but curved it slightly and attached it using silicon glue so it stands proud of the tag.  Finally I stamped the tape measure stamp onto some seam binding and tied it through the top of the tag.
