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 ....

Time for Tea ....

As you know I have a penchant for 'Alice in Wonderland' so I made three MDF Artist Trading Coins ....

A member of UK Stampers Forum (Jannet Blay) sent me a little crafty gift wrapped in AIW tissue paper ... I knew I couldn't throw it away as it was fab so I have used it in making the backgrounds for these coins.  I first painted the coin fronts with white acrylic paint then cut the tissue and applied with gloss medium and a brush being careful not to crease the images.

Once completely dry I decorated the edges with Posca markers and edged the coins with black alcohol ink marker.  The words were stamped in Versafine black ink on white card and adhered on foam pads after trimming out. A few small adhesive crystals were added to decorate and finish the coins.

These are made for trading & thanks to Jannet for the iinspiration .....
