Visible Image - Lost In Music

 

Hello, for my Design Team post at Visible Image, I wanted to use this gorgeous Lost In Music stamp along with the Super Star stencil.

I started by stamping the main image onto the lower left portion of my card, and also stamped a mask.

I placed the mask into position while I sponged the background with Distress Inks.

For my background images I chose the small stamps from the set, and stamped them with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink, and spattered some Dusty Concord around.

While the mask was in place I positioned the stencil, then applied Cosmic Shimmer Gold Pearl texture paste through.

Once I removed the stencil there was a lovely halo around the girl's head.

Then it was time to add some colour to her features with Distress Inks.

A touch of Worn Lipstick on the lips, a bit of Dusty Concord for eyeshadow, and a mix of Tea Dye and Tattered Rose for her skin, leaving white space for highlights and adding another layer of colour for shadows.

I added a touch of Lost Horizon on the earphones and her sweatshirt.

As I'm typing this, I'm lost in early Beatles music.  What music do you get lost in?

Seize The Birthday - Beach Theme

Hi peeps, it's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, chosen by Vicki, and she's gone for Beach Theme.

I sponged my sand and sky onto a piece of white card, stamped some palms (Altenew Wild Ferns), flip flops (Card-io) and sentiment (Pink 'Fresh Studio) and added a cocktail by Tim Holtz.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some fabulous inspiration from the team and our surprise party guests, and join in the fun.  If the beach theme doesn't suit, you can always play along with our Anything Goes challenge, just as long as it's birthday-themed.
