Visible Image stamp sets, Chandelier & Ink splats


hey hey all, Saturday again already boy this year is slipping by fast, OK so today I'm sharing the last of my Visible Image Create & Craft sample


lets start with the Chandelier set

this first one is quite soft,and i like to think maybe a bit classy 


i started with a simple striped paper, in a really pale pink and soft grey, i decorated the edges with images from my graphics program , and an extra swag across the top, then simply stamped the chandelier in black , covered it in glossy accents and while it was still wet i sprinkled just a touch of glamour dust over to make it shimmer. once dry i stamped the sentiment, my daughter loved whit one :)

then i went bright!



for this one i picked a bright red/yellow /orange pattern paper, and teamed it with black the papers are layered and frame the chandelier, i made some flowers, and stamped the sentiment onto matching paper , and mounted on clack then added to the card, to finish i added some black pearls, i love how this turned out with the black chandelier against the bright yellow looking like its lighting up the centre of the frame.

And so to Ink Splats
these are o much fun and so versatile, one of those stamp sets you don't realise how much you need it till you get it then its always to hand because you can us it in so many ways.


i had so much fun with this one, the backing paper is covered in wellies, but i toned it down so the actual wellies really pop, i printed and cut the wellies, then mounted onto card and cut again, i covered them in glossy accents, and once dry i buffed over them with purple guilding wax, i used the Ink splats all around the edge, then made a nice puddle pattern with them and again used the glossy accents ( i should have shares in that stuff!) after adding the wellies i stamped on the bottoms of the boots and glossy accented them to give the impression of splashing, sadly doesn't show too well in pic .



and that's it , the last of the samples, best be getting my thinking hat on for next week, see is i can inspire you with something .

I have used, fairy fae, and as you can see i was in a bit of a bling mood,lol
she is just so pretty and magical it had to be blinged up, i started with a baby blue base, and added a really pretty pattern paper, the scallop frame is in the same baby blue, and the coloured image is then mat onto this, and added at an angle, i printed a few of the butterfly 3 images, coloured and cut out, then added a touch of stickles, and some pearls for the body, then i cut some fancy swirls on my craft robo, and some flowers, adding then to the card, and then some gem swirls, gems in the centre of the Flowers, and then a scattering of gems in her hair.
