It's my Turn over at Visible Image!

Hello All!

Today it is my turn to share & hopefully inspire you over on the Visible Image Blog and I just had to create something with this Dragonfly. So I decided that I would create a layered tag with him as the star of the show!

 Products Used:  Visible Image Stamp Sets- Imagine Dream Inspire,  De-Stressed, Ink Splats & Live in the Moment. Lindys Stamp Gang Sprays- Rusty Lantern Lime, Bells of Ireland Green, Green with Envy Green & Luminous Yellow. Art Anthology Sorbet- Cayman & Tink. Ranger- Electric Lime & Caribbean Coast Ink Pads. Versa Mark Black Ink. White Uniball pen. Ranger Glossy Accents. Misc Ribbon. Prima- Watercolor Paper. Wafer-Thin Umbrella Dies.

Now lets take a close look at my tag....

I just love the Dragonfly in the " Live in the Moment Stamp Set" he is absolutely beautiful! So I had to fussy cut him to really make him POP. I also stamped directly on the tag too.

Here you get  better look at the titles that from the "Dream Inspire Imagine Stamp Set" While I love the definitions in this set, I really only wanted the bold titles for this tag. So with just a bit of selective inking I had my bold words.

If you look closely, you will see there really is a lot going on in the background of my tag. I used both the De-Stressed & Ink Splats Background Stamp Sets.

Now make sure you stop by and join the fun over in our Visible Image Facebook Group!

I hope you have enjoyed all the New Releases this month, 
stay tuned in we have lots more amazing things coming up for you soon!

Daddy's Gargoyle

Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to share a layout I created the other night. I was going through pictures and I  decided that  I just had to scrap this one....
 Why on earth would I scrap this picture?? 
Well let me explain, this is a picture of my dad's gargoyle. Strange right??... Yes I totally agree but it's one of the few things that I have that was his and it totally reminds me of him.
I took  this picture on his birthday last year. It really was a hard day but this strange (and a bit scary) looking guy made me feel a bit better.
Anyhow I had a lot of fun making this layout and I had hoped to share the video with you... but there was a bit of technical issues and sadly it was deleted....

Products Used: 7 Dots Studio Fortune Teller Patter Paper and Stickers. Prima/Finnabair- Paint,  Art Stones Glass Beads, Flowers and Metal Trinkets and other embellishments. Misc. Chipboard, Twine, Buttons.

A few details just because...
