I used an off-cut of gelli plate background I had made some months ago, where I used Pan Pastels and three Funky Fossil stencils: Distressed Diamonds, Forest Foliage and Peony Panel. I then used a Carabelle Studio "Postcard" stamp for an all-over design.
Using Wow! Opaque White Super Fine enbossing powder, I multi stamped the flowers using the Funky Fossil "Funky Florals" stamp set. For the "Peace" sentiment, I used another Funky Fossil stamp set called "Winter Wonderland".
I used a Carabelle Studio stamp called "Postcard Background" stamped in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink. I then used "Evergreen Bough" Distress Oxide Ink through the Funky Fossil Stencil "Harlequin" stencil.
I used two Stampers Anonymous stamp sets for the butterfly (Perspective CMS213) and for the sentiment (Tiny Text CMS394) both stamped in Versafine Clair "Blue Belle" ink. I stamped the scrolls in the same ink, I think they are from an old 7gypsies stamp set.
It started off with a piece of patterned paper a gift had been wrapped in, which I adhered to a tag base. I then applied a few brush strokes of Paper Artsy "Lake Wanaka" chalk acrylic paint and then some "Rusty Hinge" Distress Oxide to the tag, leaving a floral area exposed.
Using "Crackling Campfire" Distress Oxide through a Funky Fossil stencil called "Abstract Ovals". I used a script stamp for extra detail with Versafine Clair "Acorn" brown ink.
I splattered the white and black dots using Posca pens then masked off areas of the tag to stamp the chicken wire, by Creative Expressions in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
Finally, I added the poison and the Toadstool (part of the Tim Holtz Baseboard set - TH94060) and the sentiment of "an unfortunate ending" using a Tim Holtz sticker book (TH94059).
Today, Funky Fossil Designs launch five fabulous new clear stamp sets. For this sample, I have used the brilliant "Silly Snowmen" set, which I think may be my favourite of the five sets!
For this sample I used one of the Funky Fossil round MDF hanging decorations. I coated both sides with Paper Artsy "Caribbean Sea" chalk acrylic paint and set aside to dry.
I then stamped the snowman image on to white card using Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink. I coloured the image with Distress Oxide inks applied with a brush and a Posca pen. I then fussy cut the image.
Returning to the now dry MDF disc, I stamped the sentiment using the same "Medieval Blue" ink and then used Paper Artsy "Snowflake" chalk acrylic paint with a brush to create the snow and the flakes and set aside to dry.
Once dry, I adhered the snowman image onto the MDF disc and added some "Crystal" Stickles to add a glisten to the snow.

Once the fluid was dry, I used three shades of Distress Oxide inks (Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Picked Raspberry) through the Funky Fossil "Abstract Bamboo" stencil .
I then rubbed off the dry masking fluid and coloured the houses and snail using Posca and Sakura pens.
I hand drew the scallops around the edge of the tag and then stamped and cut the "Special Delivery" sentiment and added a small amount of Glossy Accents to the eyes of the snail.

I've stamped the snowman, sentiment and snowflakes with Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" ink and used two coloured Posca Pens for the scarf with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Inks for the shading.
It feels like I have not crafted for ages, I've just not been in the mood for it. But I couldn't sleep last night and got up when it was still dark and had a play making this card.
I used a background I'd made a while back using a gelli plate with Pan Pastels and three Funky Fossil stencils (Distressed Diamonds, Forest Foliage and Peony Panel).
I used the Funky Fossil "In The Meadow" stamp set. The sentiment and the right hand side is stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink and then heat embossed with Wow! Clear embossing powder.
I then decided to stamp and heat emboss the same flower in clear embossing powder. This doesn't show up on the still photograph, but you can see it on the video above.
I added splashes of white and black Posca Pen paint and inked the edges of the card before mounting the image on black and then white card.
