COVID19 ► VLVS! Blog

Actually I wanted to start to show you some Christmas cards, but Covid19 seems to occupy my mind. So I decided to create another little canvas for my studio ….

I started by inking the canvas and stamped the image on a piece of tissue. I adhered it with Acrylic Liquid Medium and painted it with the same colors I had used for my background.

 

I stamped the “Stay the Fuck Home” sentiment, unfortunately it’s a bit hard to see. For more texture I used the Coronavirus from Plate 1524.

 

The sentiment underneath my lovely lady was also stamped on tissue, it makes it so much easier, since the canvas is just a bit rough.

 

I inked the edges in a darker color, added the string and some wooden charms and ready is yet another wall hanger.

Stamps I used:

17898

Sentiment underneath from Plate 1524

Sentiment in the
background from Plate 1524

Coronavirus from Plate 1524

 

Stay safe, my friends, find time to craft and enjoy ♥

Tiny Houses with Viva Las VegaStamps!

Hi everyone!

I have a little tutorial for you over at the Viva Las VegaStamps Inspiration Blog.

I'd like to share my newest home decor with you. I was so inspired by the tiny houses from the Tim Holtz collection with Sizzix, that I just had to have them on my candle tray. I love this neutral look for my home decor. 

I cut the shapes from cream cardstock, added some old book paper with Gel Medium and covered everything with gesso.

 In my next step I used different stamps to create my background together with Archival Ink Shadow Grey, Pale Ochre and Versafine Toffee.

  After I adhered the sentiments and the Paper dolls with pop dots,  I used strips of my Miracle Tape tape to build the houses together.

I stamped and heat embossed the roof with very chunky embossing powder, I had to add powder several times, before it had the texture I desired. 

I made flaps from Washi Tape to adhere the roofs to the base. Thanks to my lovely teammate Tera for the recommendation!

I have a tray with glasses for candles, which I have redecorated many times over, i.e. Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc, now it's a more general theme I can use for a while regardless of any occasion.
 

As you can see, I left the backside undecorated, this way I can come up with some other embellishments if I get tired of the dolls. It also shows you that sometimes I don't look at my image before stamping and turn it upside down 😏

Have a closer look:

Some little flowers cut from Glassine Paper and crumbled up.

 Stamps I used:

Washi Grid

Squiggly Star Collage

Numbers Set
Mesh Texture

Tuft of Grass

Miracle Tape

 Thank you for stopping by today!
