A quick guide to how my samples were created… 

A simple 5x5 card…. I used my stamping platform & the ‘Congratulations’ stamp with Versafine Clair Inks in various colours. Then inked through the D’Inkable ( set 3 ) with Distress Oxides & finishing with a sentiment in black ink…. 


To start this journal page/large card I brayered Unchartered Mariner, Lost Shadow & Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks on first. Then stamped the Stitched Time stamp with Midnight Versafine Clair ink & added numbers, arrows & stitches D’Inkables, using the Oxides. On some old dictionary paper I stamped the stopwatch section of the stamp & embossed it in copper & added Posca copper highlights to the design. I finished by stamping HOPE from the Mixed Messages #2


The Dhalia Inkable & bright Oxides were used to create this rainbow effect. Just add a sentiment on a piece of black card on the first card… 


Without cleaning the Dhalia Inkable, I spritzed it with water & placed onto another piece of card, pressed it down with a paper towel. Then added two of the new sentiments, from Mixed Messages #2 & #3, with black ink… 


This card was stamped with Versamark ink onto Kraft card & embossed in white, then added colour to hi-light a few sections. I repeated the process on another piece of Kraft card, cut out the stopwatch & used Glossy Accents on the centre & fixed with dimensional glue to the card. A few splatters were added & a sentiment… 



Lastly I stamped the main image onto white card, then kept adding elements of the original design & words from the Mixed Messages #2 & #3 to extend it. Extra elements were stamped on a separate piece of card & fussy cut, then added for
dimension. Finally various sections were coloured with Ecoline Brush Pens… 


I hope there’s something here for everyone to follow… 

Thank you for stopping by… Ann xxx
