My design team journey continues with Visible Image

 Good morning and welcome to my latest design team make for Visible Image. There have been some recent exciting changes in the way we will be inspiring you with their gorgeous products. I will continue to be on their regular creative team and will be sharing my makes every 2 weeks, still on a Wednesday. However one make in 3 will be a "social media" share only over on Instagram. So it is really important to check me out and follow me over there if you would like to continue to see all of my fortnightly Visible Image makes. You will find my Instagram account here  or search for @jane.tyrrell. 

There are now 6 of us designers on the Inspiration DesignTeam. Projects will be shared on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week.  So plenty of fab content to be inspired by. Each week will also have a theme so this should add to your viewing delight.

So this is the first of my design team inspiration posts in this new format and the theme for this week is "positive affirmations".  Now there are so many wonderful stamps in the Visible Image catalogue which have sentiments which are positive affirmations, either as part of an image set or as stand alone sentiments sets.  I have always love the sun from the "Rise and shine" set and have made many cards with it in the past. This time I decided to pair it with one of the new mini stencils and one of the positive affirmation sentiments from the Look forward with hope set. 

This is the card I made;

 

using the following products;

The sunshine stencil

which is one of the 18 fab new mini stencils;

 the rise and shine stamp set 

and a very positive affirmation sentiment from the Look forward with hope sentiments stamp set. I also used the fab cloud stamp in this set. 

This is how I made my card;

I chose a piece of bright inky mop up card from my distress ink stash and cut it down for a slimline card. 

I placed the Sunshine stencil near the top and using a mix of these 2 distress inks blended them through the stencil.

I then stamped the large Rise and shine sun into the centre using Versafine Clair nocturne ink and clear embossed. I made a "Border" all around the edges of the card using the "rays" of the stencil and Carved pumpkin distress ink.  

I randomly stamped the clouds using Morning mist Versafine and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card in the same way as the sun stamp.  

For some finishing touches I added some white gel and glitter pen details to the sun. Then I matted onto cerise card  finally onto a white slimline card blank. 

Here is a close up showing the details. 

and 1 final shot

This type of card is perfect to send to someone just to say that you are thinking of them. You don't need an occasion or a reason. When they receive it you can be sure you will have put a smile on their face.
