Visible Image Wednesday

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all doing well this Wednesday and wow Huge huge thanks to all the wonderful support I have had in emails and messages over the last two weeks of prep and shows , gosh it has been manic but was all worth it. I had a fab time working with Dean, Nigel and Jackie, it's the first times I have worked with the boys too and I had a whale of a time with them, I think it is cos I grew up with three brothers and worked with several fellas over the years so it is like having brothers on air with you messing about.
You really are the best ladies on any blogs you know, you are all wonderful people and support me with your kindness every post and email. Bless you all I wish I was rich so I could stock all your rooms up lol.
Talking of stock I am so sorry I still haven't posted your goodies all out to you all yet, I have just been so manic I didn't leave the house but now that's done I will definitely get it all sorted this week. I also received the sets from CE to give away to the main winners too now so I will get it to you all I promise.
With out further ado I have a little card I made for the Amazing Visible Image this week in one of my fav inky combos too for a real clean and sharp look.  See what you think?

 I used the gorgeous Music Background stamp without a block to give that shabby music backing paper look in random sections. I love to mix that with sharp stamped text too. If I was taking it further I would take a stencil with some modelling paste or texture paste and add some extra layering in the back, plus some embossing with the other backing stamps but for this one I wanted it clean.

 So here is the gorgeous stamps set and I used some Archival Red ink in the Wendy Vechi colours Red Geranium to stamp it as it really is a true vibrant red. Not orangey at all.

After stamping the random background on white card I inked the edges in the same colour and heat set. I then matted and layered in black white and more black, I really like this sharp smart look, its like when your see your kids in their school uniform for the first time it looks so sharp.

I also used the same ink and stamped out the main sentiment Create your future and mounted that onto black too.

I decided I was going to have a side sentiment too but this time I chose jet black and mounted onto red card. I used the amazing new OZ tin man set for the sentiment and the Heart, which I love.

 I stamped the heart and used my promarkers in three red shades to get in and have dark and light areas, I also use two greys and once coloured I went over with my Sakura gel glaze pen and gave it a coat of varnish to make it shine and my gold stardust pen for the sparkle. I added the black dots back in to the design to make sure they stood out too.

 I added mounting foam under all three pieces and added them to the card. I took three small flowers and coloured 2 of them with the same promarkers and used the varying shades again for dimension. I used a little sparkle on the edges too. I took my leaf stamp from the poinsettia set and stamped two in brown and went over with red shading, using my glaze pen to add in the veins so it resisted the inks.

Lastly I added some black gems in various places to give it its finishing touches. This card measures 6x6 inches as a finished piece.

Here are the stamps I used on this one.

        OZ Tin man set, poinsettia Set, Create your future and The Music Background.
