Creep it real shaker card

Hello friends!

Aimee here and I have a fun Halloween card to share with ya. This is a pretty simple card but be warned, the fussy cutting is no joke 😂

We're using stamps from plate 1503 today. 

Here's most of the supplies-

First, stamp your image onto card stock and color. Cut out.

I used Memento ink and colored with alcohol markers.

Add your patterned paper to the card front (cover the entire card front.) 

My patterned paper is actually a foilable card panel from Brutus Monroe.

Create a shaker with acetate for both the front and the back.

I used a shaker kit from Close to My Heart and goodies from Sizzix & Picket Fence Studio for the fill.

Stamp the sentiment and cut into a strip. Mat it onto some black card stock.

Add your image to the card and bend her neck a little. 

Place the shaker over her head so she's peeking through the shaker. Add the sentiment.

I added some sequins as if they are trailing out of the shaker.

I LOVE the way this turned out!

Supplies-

• top fold card base, adhesives, stamping ink, coloring tools, scissors.
• Plate 1503
• shaker stuff

I love gloomy stuff, so I decided to use the Bride of Frankenstein for my tag.

For the background, I used a barbwire stencil and embossed it with clear powder.

I used different green tones of colour spray.

The bide's face was coloured with Distress Reinker and a water brush.

The quote was embossed with white powder.

"Dream Big" Art Journal Page | Sue Plumb

Hi everyone!

Sue Plumb here to share my latest VLVS design team project with you. Today I am sharing a whimsical style art journal page that I created called "Dream Big".

I used a range of stamps to create this page, with the feature being (of course) that gorgeous Unicorn. The majority of the stamps I used come from plate #918 and plate #1437.
(For a full linked list of stamps, please see end of post.)

In addition to the VLVS stamps, this page used fairly limited supplies - Ranger Distress Oxides; a Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Brush Marker; and a Stabilo All pencil.

I love the "painted" look that stamping with Distress Oxides gives, especially when layered over the soft, blended background.

If you would like to see how I created this page, there is a process video available on the Viva Las VegaStamps YouTube channel:





VLVS stamps used:
- Unicorn
- Dandelion Silhouette
- Flower Border
- Flower Book Plate
- Pure Imagination
- Dream Big
- I hate reality
- Bursting Stars
- Sky of Stars Background

Other materials:
- Jane Davenport art journal
- Ranger Distress Oxides
- Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Brush Marker (clear)
- Stabilo All pencil (black)

Thanks for stopping by today so I could share this, I hope I have inspired you to get inky too!

I was thrilled that we got to do a swap with Art Anthology and even better I got to work with one of my favorite colors on top of some other colors I magically have in my dash of inky goodness. I decided to dig in my bin of things to be altered. Do you have one of those or am I the only one??

So first I gave the paper ache book box a coat of gesso. Then I used the stamp Dictionary Page - 19015 to stamp all over some tissue paper. 

Then I covered the front of the book box with the paper using a matte gel medium. I added the medium to the book box itself though not the tissue paper. I then decided to use the stamp Butterfly Specimens - 19415 on the front as well in random spots. After that I wanted to hurry up and add some color. Just in case I covered the front with some clear gesso and after that dried I went to town adding some Colorations Spray - Waimea Bay all overground the edges. Then I sprayed my mat and used the bottle of the bottle to add some color rings (aka you can use the Double Coffee Rings - 19568 or Coffee Ring Stain - 19230 as well).

Here you can see some close ups of stamping and splatter. 

The chipboard I painted with gesso and covered with some Colorations Spray Mocha and brushed certain parts with the Velvet Paint Kona. I just loved playing with Art Anthology along with my VLVS. Keep coming back for more inspiration!

Items Used:

Stitching - 19575

Butterfly Specimens - 19415

Not All Who Wander - 19413

Dictionary Page - 19015
