That Craft Place challenge

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

I used this large Hero Arts collage stamp and stamped it in versafine sepia ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I used my Spellbinders circle nestibilities to create circles in some cardstock.  I used the cardstock and distress ink to create this spotlights of colour over the stamp.  The embossing resists the ink so you keep the orginal colour.  Finally I matted it up onto kraft and black cardstock and stitched it with my sewing machine.

 Today I am showing you a Christmas card I made using the gorgeous large snowflake  from Visible Image Stamps.

I love this snowflake, it is so intricate and delicate.  I stamped it onto navy cardstock using versamark ink and then added sticky embossing powder and heat set it.  The sticky embossing powder is fab as it allows you to add glitters to stamps without using  glue pen.  I used some gorgeous chunky mixed silver glitter from Stampendous.  I repeated the process to create the central snowflake, which i matted onto white cardstock.  Finally I stamped the Miracle of Christmas sentiment in distress ink and added it.

 Today I am showing you a Christmas card I have made using the Sleigh Silhouette and the Tree Trio from Visible Image Stamps.

I am still feeling in the mood to make Christmas cards so here is a scene I created using the sleigh silhouette and the tree trio.  I created the background using a circle mask and distress inks.  I spritzed the card with glamour mist and  let it dry -the glamour mist gives it a pearlised effect.  Once it was dry I stamped the Sleigh Silhouette across the moon, just cuving the stamp a wee bit on my block.  I then stamped and ghost stamped the trees to created the background.

 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 Anything Goes with Visible image.  Remember you MUST use a Visible image stamp.

 Today I am showing you Molly from Visible Image Stamps.

I coloured Molly in using my copics.  The dp was created using acrylic paint and my gelli plate.  I stamped the retro dots background and the ink splats into the paint on my gelli plate before putting the paper over to create my own paper.  I then re-stamped the plate and created more paper - one of the ink splats made a fab teddy head - look closely above the bow. I simply added layered ribbon and pearls to complete the card.

 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 Anything Goes.

Visible image August Challenge

 Its time for the August challenge from   Visible Image Stamps.

The theme this month is Anything Goes with Visible image stamps - you MUST use a Visible Image stamp in order to be eligible for the prize.  You can find all the details on the Visible image blog.

I used lots of Visible image stamps on this month's creation - the back story of this being Molly has found out Max cheated on her with her best friend and ripped the head off his favourite teddy - he is not liking that text!!!  Having coloured Max and Molly using my pens I matted them onto red cardstock.  I created the background using weathered wood distress ink, and then stamped the brick wall over part of it in vintage photo distress ink.  I then stamped the retro dots background over the other section using fired brick distress ink, before stamping the ink splats, barbed wire and hearts from the Molly Rules set.  Finally i stamped the sentiment from the Molly Rules set.
