 Hello everyone, It is the month of LOVE. So today I'm sharing an unlikely love story with you using Crazy Monsters and Inky Flowers. Love is in the air and there is beauty everywhere. Even among monsters! After all ... doesn't everyone deserve to be loved? I made a mask by folding a piece of copy paper in half and drawing half a heart along the folded edge and then cutting it out. When you open it you have the whole heart. This was placed on my gel plate and then some paint was rolled out. You'll need to carefully remove the mask before pulling a print. The pulled print was grungy which is what I wanted. I replaced the mask and added some DI around the edge so that the heart popped a little more. With the mask still in place I stamped the love word from Just A Note and added a heart into the white space. The monsters need all the love they can get, so I've added extra hearts from Just A Note and white embossed them. And here are the two lovers. The slug I decided to m...

Hello everyone, it's great to see you here. Today I've a step x step tutorial for you using the crab from the Crazy Monsters stamp set. He keeps catching my eye so it was time to play. Are you relaxed and ready to go? We begin with Distress Ink being blended over some white card. A couple of greens and turquoise are my colours of choice as the aim is for an underwater feel to the scene. A little water is spritzed onto the stencil and then the watery side is placed onto the inked background. It's always a great idea to gently dab around the stencil with paper toweling to take up any excess water.  The reason is that you end up with a cleaner 'image'. Using the same stencil, add some Distress Ink through the stencil in a slightly darker colour of ink. This gives a lovely tone-on-tone effect and creates the illusion of depth. Now to create a little atmosphere. The bubbles from Playful Penguins  were st...
