Let Peace Begin With Me...

May 30th 2018

A mixed media background journal page using digis by Vera Lane Studio. I've used digis from 2 sets to create the centre piece - wreath and wording is from the "Peaceful Picasso" set and the very relaxed looking gal is from the "yoga Gal" set. Vera Lane digis always mix and match so well - makes them perfect for any creation!

Lots of bits and pieces of mixed media on this background in one of my journals - book pages, washi, paints, texture paste! Digi stamps coloured with Copic Markers. I love the soft colours on this page.

May 28th 2018

This week's theme at the Take a Word Blog is "TWO" - so 2 of something LOL and this journal page is just perfect - "Tea For Two"!!!! Fab quirky characters by Vera Lane Studio - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum!! LOVE them and the teapot!!

In keeping with the "tea" theme I covered the page background with the "ends" of the tea bags and added paint and water soluble crayons plus washi tape, sticky mesh, muslin cloth and of course the fussy cut digis!!

So much fun and who doesn't love anything "Alice"????

Pearl & Vidalia the "Onions"!!!

May 26th 2018
What a fab new set of digis by Vera Lane Studio - "Pearl & Vidalia" - a pair of onions - in keeping with the quirky style of the Vera Lane Studio digi sets!! I love these two!!!

I've coloured this pair with Copic makers - "brown" onions of course LOL!! the wording is also part of the digi set.

I've added them to an ink sprayed page in my journal and added a piece of muslin coth - also ink sprayed and adhered to the page along with some sticky mesh to look a bit like an onion bag and some string to tie them up!! The torn piece of paper at the bottom that they are standing on was a left over piece of ink sprayed card from another project.

 

I'm entering this pair in the current challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog - "I is for Inky" - a perfect creation with all the ink spraying I have going on here!

Dogs on the Block....

May 20th 2018
One of my fav digi stap sets by Vera Lane Studio "Dogs on the Block"!!! Of course I love anything with dogs! Firstly I have a set of 4 made in CAS style with Kraft & Black colour combo and then below you will see a total opposite set coloured with copics and ink sprayed - still CAS style but with a lot more colour!! Both sets were donated to Dog charities for online auctions to raise much needed funds!

 

I used one of my favourite colour combos (Kraft & Black) to create these CAS style cards - CAS is not something I do a lot as I never seem to be able to make CAS style look right but I am happy with these!

And here are coloured cards - I really love how these turned out - they are such fun digis and perfect for these cards - I will certainly be using these images again and again!!

 

Sentiments on all of the cards are also by Vera Lane Studio - great mix & match sets!
