Refuse ......

Who wants to be ordinary ? .... not me ......

Made this card on a background of gessoed card with Gelatos and water using a 5 x 7 inch white cardbase .......

I sealed the surface with a gloss medium applied with a spatula and when dry I stamped this with a sketchy face stamp by Dina Wakley in Archival black ink. This was added to with a white Posca pen to add highlights.

I then edged the background with yellow Washi tape and mounted this on a dark pink card matt.

I then stamped the sentiment (Dina Wakley) in Versafine black ink, trimmed out and matted on more pink card and mounted this on foam pad as shown to finish !

I would like to enter this into the Stamplorations Theme & Photo prompt....

Calm .....

I made this card using a 5 x 7 inch white card blank ......

I used a background made with Gelatos & water on white gessoed card. I applied a design through a stencil over this with texture paste and when dry painted the raised areas with Cosmic Shimmer mica paints in a variety of colours in line with the background colours. Pity the mica sheen can't easily be seen in the photo !

I then stamped the Seahorse stamp (Visible Image) on white card with Archival black ink.  This was trimmed out and coloured with Ecoline brush markers in greens and blues with highlights from a white Posca marker before applying on foam pads as shown.

The background with seahorse was them matted on black card and applied to the card base. The sentiment stamps (Visible Image) were stamped in Versafine black ink. trimmed out and coloured with more brush marker before being placed on foam pads as shown.

Final touches were to add a few blue adhesive pearls onto the background .....

Vision .....

This card is made on a 7 x 7 inch white card blank......

The base is a Gelato background which has been treated with some gloss gel medium (first coloured with Gelato) through a stencil. When dry the background was stamped at the base with some grass & birds (PaperArtsy) in green Archival ink. Some areas were highlighted with a black Posca pen.the whole background was edged in turquoise Chalk ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The eye (Visual Image) was stamped in Archival black ink, trimmed out and coloured with watercolour brushpens. The word Vision (Visual Image) was selectively inked in Archival black and stamped onto the background. The eye was then applied on foam pads.

The background was then matted onto some turquoise card and the whole applied directly to the card base to finish ....

Take Flight .....

Made a card ..... starting with a 5 x 7 inch white card blank........

I made a background with Gelatos on a piece of white card treated with white Gesso... using water and my fingers. This was dried. I then used a chevron stencil and removed some of the colour with a baby wipe through it. I then sealed the colours with a coat of acrylic sealer.

I then stamped with a few stamps (PaperArtsy)  in Archival ink  colours and stamped a bird in Archival sepia ink. This was trimmed out and embellished with some white Posca pen. The bird was applied on foam pads & grounded on torn Washi tape.

The sentiment was stamped and mounted on brown card and again applied on foam pads and the whole piece mounted on more brown card and attached to the white card blank on more foam pads.
