Alison CT - Faces samples

Hi everyone, this week I thought I would share some of the Faces samples I made for their launch on ShopUnlimited Live.

For the first sample, I stamped Dream using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. I coloured her with watercolour paints and then added stenciling around her using dinkables from set 2 and inkable tags from 1 with seedless preserve, picked raspberry and antique linen distress oxides. I added a sentiment from the Handwritten Words stamp set.

For the second sample, I stamped the face Seen and used watercolour paints to colour him and the background. I then used Morning Mist Versafine Clair to add stamped detail to the background using Journaling Essentials 2. The sentiment is from Handwritten Words 2.

For the third sample, I created a background by smooshing seedless preserve distress oxide on to a piece of acetate, spraying it lightly with water and pressing it down on the page. After this had dried, I blended seedless preserve through a couple of dinkables from set 1 and wilted violet distress oxide through another. I then stamped the face I See You on to the piece and addedextra stamps from the Journal Art Elements 2 and 3 stamp set.

For my fourth sample, I stamped both large and small faces from the See Me stamp set using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. I then used a blending brushes to add scattered straw and cracked pistachio distress ink to the background. I then blended rusty hinge distress ink through the circles dinkable from set 3. I added stamping from the same See Me set to enhance the background.

For my fifth sample, I stamped the Look face using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. I then blended weathered wood distress ink around the outside of my piece of card. I blended weathered wood distress oxide through the honeycomb dinkable from set 1 and scattered straw distress oxide through the fronds dinkable from set 1. I added a sentiment from the Handwritten Words 2 stamp set.

For my sixth sample, I stamped the Seen face using Versafine Clair nocturne, then I rubbed my worn lipstick distress oxide ink pad over the lines dinkable from set 8 and spritzed it with water. I pressed this, ink side down, over the image, covering most of the piece of card. I added some coffee stains using the dinkable from 9 with seedless preserve distress oxide. I added stamps from the Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set and a sentiment from the Creativity Words set.

For my final sample, I stamped the face from the Look stamp set on to the piece of card. I blended mermaid lagoon and tumbled glass distress oxide over the background before adding the grid stamp from the Journal Art Elements 3 stamp set with Versafine Clair Blue Belle ink and the numbers from the same set with mermaid lagoon. Finally I added two sentiment from the Creativity Words stamp set using Versafine Clair nocturne.
