Funky Fossil January Release - Blooming Birthday and Serenity

Hello!

We are back for a second day of previews of the 5 new stamp sets which will be available for sale at www.funkyfossil.co.uk from 9am on Saturday :)  Today the two A6 sets that I want to introduce are Blooming Birthday featuring illustrations by Maggie Molloy and Serenity which features designs by Lana Elanor.  I have loved crafting with both of them!

Here are a few examples:

Blooming Birthday

I love the simple lines of this stamp set.  It looks great as white on kraft or coloured up.  

Here I have stamped the different grasses and flowers from the set in shades of green around the card front and combined them with a sentiment from Beautiful Inside and Out.

Serenity

The yoga silhouette from this set goes perfectly with our new Lotus Flower stencil!

Here I have combined the yoga silhouette with our Boho Flowers stamp set to show how they can work together.  It would work equally well with the images from Blooming Birthday!

The fab DT have been working their magic again.  Check out the inspirational makes that they have to share here:

Fancy Trellis Stencil

Hello!

Are you getting ready for the easter weekend?  It should be nice and warm here in the UK (for a change) so I can't wait to have a break and enjoy some sunshine :)  Today I have a couple of cards to share with you which feature a new stencil - Fancy Trellis.

I have been quite soft and delicate on my first card to play along at Less is More where the theme is to use subtle colours:

I inked the stencil up with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and used it behind a circle aperture.  The die cut butterfly is from Concord and 9th and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  I shall also link up at Happy Little Stamper's die challenge where anything goes.

On my second card I inked the stencil through a circle aperture with Crushed Olive distress oxide and added a touch of shading around the edges of the circle.  I used my Boho Blooms stamp for the little cluster of flowers and a sentiment from Catherine Pooler.

I shall link up at Simon's Monday Challenge where the theme is Beautiful Blooms and at Inkspirational where the current challenge is to pop it up.  The cluster of flowers is popped up on foam pads to provide a bit of contrast to the trellis background.

The stencil and stamps are available in my store - www.funkyfossil.co.uk

Hope Blooms

Hello!

It is the weekend already and I can't believe that we have got to the end of March already :)  With Spring well and truly in the air, I decided to make another card with my Boho Flowers stamp set.  This time, I have teamed them up with my Lightbulb aperture stencil:

I stamped the flowers through the stencil and coloured them with pencils.  I inked lightly around the bulb to give the shape some definition and stamped the sentiment inside.  

I shall link up at Addicted to Stamps where the theme is Spring and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes.

I hope you like this design.  I love stamping or stencilling into apertures, they often give a different perspective to the design :)

Both the stencil and stamp set are for sale in my online store: www.funkyfossil.co.uk - head over to see the range of products that are available.

A Simple Bloom

Hello!

I wanted to make a really simple and CAS card with my Boho Flowers stamp set and decided to play along with the current challenge at AAA Cards, where the challenge is to use a single image with the optional twist of Spring.

Here is my card:

I simply stamped the semi wreath and coloured it with pencils.  I think it works well for the spring theme too!  I hope that you like this CAS design :)

This is one of three new stamp sets which I have just released in my online shop -www.funkyfossil.co.uk

Bloom

Hello!

I have been playing with my new stamps and today I have some more cards to share with the Boho Flowers set:

This is a Clean and Simple design with the semi wreath stamped twice and coloured with pencils.  I shall link up at The Flower Challenge for a third time where Anything Goes and at Addicted to Stamps where the theme is Spring.

On this card I simply white heat embossed the cluster stamp in each of the four corners on kraft card and added a touch of green pencil.

I painted one of my mdf hearts with chalk paint and white heat embossed the flower cluster, masking to build up the design.  It looks lovely and fresh on the pale blue heart.

This stamp set is available in my online store - www.funkyfossil.co.uk:

I hope you like them :)

Chubby Unicorns, £8.50

Boho Flowers, £8.50

Here are a few more cards that I have made with these stamps:

I went full on rainbow for this little unicorn and added some rainbow stripes to his back!  The star is by The Ton and I simply heat embossed it in several colours.  I shall link up at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge which is Special Day and at Time Out where Sandie and the fab DT are celebrating 5 years with an inspired by words birthday theme - congrats!

Here I masked and stamped to create a cluster of flowers and succulents.  I shall link up at Simon's Monday Challenge where the theme is Girly/Feminine

Finally the Quick Brown Fox is standing in the foliage that I have added with my shrubbery stencil.

I hope you like these stamps.  I have to thank Kimma from Le Petite Market and Linda from Brightwater Studio for being so generous with their talent and illustrations.

Introducing Boho Flowers

Hello!

I shared some new stamp designs that I am planning to release on Thursday this week with you on Saturday.  Today I have my new Boho Flowers set to show you:

These designs were drawn by Linda from the Brightwater Studio - she creates beautiful hand drawn florals and wreaths and has been kind enough to let me use her designs for stamps.  

I have had lots of fun making cards with these stamps and here are a few examples:

On this card I used my Trellis Background stencil and stamped and masked the flower cluster.  I coloured it with pencils and cut it out.  The sentiment is from MFT.

I shall link up for a second time at The Flower Challenge where Anything Goes.

Here I stamped the semi wreath four times to create this pattern and coloured with pencils again.  I shall link this one up at Simon Monday's Challenge where we are going with a Feminine/Girly theme

I hope you like these Boho Flower stamps.  I will have more ideas to share with you over the next few days :)
