Something "Magical" for Visible Image.

 

For my latest fortnightly Visible Image design team project, our theme was MAGICAL — and I had great fun creating this colourful little fantasy scene.

I used The Caterpillar stamp set, together with a sentiment from Stay Weird.. I thought the sentiment was perfect for this quirky little character sitting happily on his giant toadstall!

I created the vibrant background using Distress Stain Sprays and adding some extra splatters of water to give it a little extra texture and a magical, slightly dreamy feel. Once dry I stamped the toadstool in place using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and coloured it with Distress watercolour pencils.

 I added the white spots using a white Posca pen.

I stamped the caterpillar onto white card, clear heat embossed and cut him out. Using Distress Watercolour Pencils I added adding lots of bright colour to make him really stand out against the background. 

I stamped the sentiment onto some inky mop up card and cut around it to create a cloud. I also cut a couple of other little clouds by hand. These added some dimension by layering the clouds and caterpillar.

The finishing touch was some glossy accent on his glasses so that they reflect like a real pair. 

I love how colourful and whimsical this card turned out. Sometimes it's fun to step away from traditional card making and create a little world of your own. I hope this gives you some inspiration to get out your stamps and inks and create something magical?

Do come and visit me over on Instagram here where I share creative posts most days. It would be lovely to see you there.

Bloom you own way with STAMPlorations

Today I'm sharing my latest STAMPlorations Design Team project, featuring one of the new Simple Expressions stamp sets. This one is called Bloom, and I absolutely love the positive message “Bloom your own way.”

I teamed the sentiment with the beautiful Blossom Sprays #5 floral stamp and the Bold Florals stencil. I wanted to create something bright, colourful and full of flowers, so I used Distress Ink through the stencil to create the pink and blue background.

 I wanted to create something bright, colourful and full of flowers, so I used Distress Ink through the stencil to create the pretty pink and blue background.

I used the outline "Bloom" stamp first with the sentiment and teamed it with the beautiful Blossom Sprays #5 floral stamp. 

I coloured the flowers in shades of purple and blue using distress watercolour pencils

I then used the solid bloom stamp to add the colour and added some sparkle to the petals and flower as a finishing touch. These stamps are super easy to line up.

I love how the bold background works with the delicate floral image, while the large BLOOM sentiment remains the focal point of the design.

Sometimes we all need a little reminder that we don't have to follow everyone else's path — we can simply bloom our own way! 💜

This new range is so pretty, do check them all out here

Thanks for stopping by and I hope my card gives you a little creative inspiration today.

Yesterday I shared the exciting Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® news and showed you my first makes. If you missed seeing them check out this link. I was sent the gorgeous Today and Every Day stamp set (2405ssc) to create with, and I have had great fun exploring all the possibilities it offers.

This beautiful floral set includes a lovely wreath along with lots of additional floral and leafy elements, giving you so many ways to mix, match and create your own designs. I decided to see just how much I could get from the set and created four cards and a tag.
