Rooted, the gorgeous new release from Visible Image

 Hi Everyone, I'm very excited to share my first Design Team sample using the brand new Visible Image release. Rooted is a set of 4 beautiful nature inspired stamp sets and 4 wonderful stencils.

It is being introduced today on HobbyMaker TV by Mark Alexander. The show is at 3pm. And for a double dose of inspiration at 7pm he is showcasing "The light you carry" release which debuted a few weeks ago.  

 You can view both shows for up to 7 days here You can check the products out on the website here with lots of new release bundles deals too, 

I have previously shared these cards from "The Light you carry" release on Social media.

Let Go

Take a breath

Find your light with the Resonate stencil

So for my first Rooted design team sample I've gone for gold today sharing the card I made using the gorgeous Rooted "Sanctuary stencil" with a sentiment from Wild Pine💛✨

I absolutely love the intricate details of this stencil, particularly the beautiful Gothic-style window and all that wonderful distressed lettering and texture.

For my card, I used gold stencil paste over an Infusions background I had in my stash.

The contrast between the rich metallic gold and the darker areas of the background really makes the design pop. I love how the raised paste catches the light and adds so much dimension and interest.

There's quite a lot going on in the background, so I wanted to keep the finishing touches fairly simple and let the stencil do the talking!

I chose the sentiment "tomorrow begins today" from the Wild Pine stamp set. I think it's such a lovely, positive message and works beautifully with the Sanctuary design.

I stamped it onto white card, layered it onto black and positioned it across the lower part of the panel. A few little clear dewdrop embellishments added the finishing touch.

Finally, I mounted everything onto black card before attaching it to a white card blank. The black border really helps to frame all those gorgeous colours and metallic details.

Here it is once more

I think this stencil has so many possibilities, from dramatic mixed media backgrounds to more subtle designs, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it further.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to get your stencils and texture pastes out and have a play!

and here is a sneak peeks of a few my other samples that I will be sharing over the coming weeks.

Happy crafting!

More Inspiration from the new "The light you carry" release from Visible Image

Hi everyone!

Today I'm back with my my next design team make and more inspiration from the fabulous new

The Light You Carry release from Visible Image. 

It is available here.

There are still some brilliant money saving new release special bundle deals over on the website. 

I have already shared these 2 cards on Social media 

This  one here on Instagram using 

Keep moving

and  a card using

 Take a breath   

 on my blog here.

For this card I used the Let go set

and made this card

This is how it came together:

I used a rainbow palette of distress stain sprays.

I stamped and cut out the large bird and hands using white card and black ink, 

Using the same colour palette I painted some details on the bird to match the background.

I left the hands uncoloured to add to the effect and stamped the sentiment at the bottom centre of the background. 

I matted it onto red card and on to a white card blank.

Here it is once more.

I particularly love the image of the outstretched hands, which works so beautifully with the simple but powerful sentiment “letting go.”

There's something very uplifting about this design. To me, it represents freedom, release and the courage to move forward.

I finished the card with a simple black mat to frame the artwork and allow those gorgeous colours to shine.

I hope my card inspires you to explore this wonderful release and perhaps experiment with some bold colours of your own.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

More Simple expressions inspiration for STAMPlorations

Hi Everyone,  Today I'm sharing my latest STAMPlorations Design Team project, featuring the gorgeous Bloom set from the Simple Expressions

 release.  

The set features separate solid and outline versions of the focal power word "BLOOM", plus a perfectly paired coordinating script phrase: "your own way". 

I previously shared a mixed media card using this set here. This time I made a pair of Clean and Simple cards. 

You can find this set here.

 

✨ The Creative Idea Behind the Design:

This is Artsy Layering Made Simple: Stamp the outline design first, then layer the solid word over it in a contrasting ink colour. They are designed to celebrate the beauty of handmade art — there is no need to perfectly line up your layers! The true magic is in an intentional "wonky" or slightly offset layout. However me being me I like to line them up!

I also used 2 cards from the Spring florals card fronts pack available here . There are 8 gorgeous designs in the pack.

These cards were so quick to make. I stamped the Bloom outline and sentiment first in black ink in the white space on the card front.

Then stamped the solid word stamp in coordinating colour inks. 

I adhered the card front to coloured card panels and added some die cuts using the  Trendy blooms die set

I mounted them onto white card blanks and finished off with some sequins,

You could use this design in any colourway and easily batch make them too, Do check out all the Simple expression sets in this release plus all the fab newbies over on the website here.
