Playing With Vellum

Hello all :)

Today's post is as you can guess from the title about playing with Vellum, now I have never used vellum before and after watching one of Jennifer Ever's videos on You Tube where she did some beautiful Vellum Butterflies I just had to give it a try.

So here they are 

I used the following products:

Vellum

Spectrum Noir Markers 

Black Embossing Powder by WOW

Versamark Ink Pad 

Visible Image Large Butterfly Stamp - left butterflies

Recollections Stamps - middle and right butterflies

Heat Tool

Stickles - Diamond and Star Dust

Do Crafts Pearl Effects 

I love how these turned out, I will admit I was a little nervous with how they would turn out especially with using stickles on them but remembered that Jen's turned out beautifully and low and behold so did these, I left them over night to dry and then fussy cut them out.

I intend to use these on different projects so keep a look out for those and I am sure you will recognise them when you see them.

Inspirational Monolith

Hi all :)

Today's post is to show you all what I have been busy doing today.... I finally got around to using one of the Visible Image MDF Monolith's I have been meaning to make something with these since I got them few months ago.

Here it is.... This picture shows front and back I will also add individual pictures with a list of products used for each side and will link to the stamps and monoliths used.

I have had some new goodies so wanted to get to work with some of them and make something inspirational.

Side One

To do this side I used a number of different materials and I have listed the below:

 Brusho's in the following colours - Purple and Turquoise 

 Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders in the following colours - Midnight Blue, Emerald Green and Purple Violet

300GSM Watercolour Card

MDF Monolith

Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Polish

Memento and Versamark Ink

3D Glitter Glue 

WOW Embossing Powder - Gold 

Visible Image Stamps - Sparkle In The Rain and Smile Sparkle Shine

Side Two 

For this side again I used a number of different materials and will list them below including linking to the stamps used etc.

300gsm Watercolour Card 

MDF Monolith 

Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders- Scarlet Mist and Purple Mist

Versamark Ink

WOW Embossing Powders - Black and Gold 

Visible Image Stamps - Take The Moment and Tomorrow Doesn't Exist

The base of the monolith I used a Star stencil, Versamark Pen and Gold WOW embossing powder.

I hope you like what I have done with this monolith and it gives you some inspiration, I absolutely love the look of both backgrounds and the pixie powders really do give a beautiful shimmer, unfortunately the camera couldn't pick this up.
