WOW! What a great response to these blog hops! We are glad to hear that you guys have been inspired by our design team's makes :) Thank you to everyone who commented on the last post.
Welcome to Day 3 of our Blog Hop with Viva Las VegaStamps! Today we have Sian and Maya on the blog sharing their cards that they used to create projects with VLVStamps and WOW! Embossing Powder. Maya and Sian's styles are distinctive as they both love their white space which allows designs to shine so beautifully. It is also something that I personally struggle with in my own projects as I am always very tempted to keep adding stuff until all available space is covered! Maya and Sian I am in awe!
Please note that today is Sian's last day on the blog, we are saying our goodbyes with heavy hearts and we will really miss Sian's creativity on the blog and her sunny disposition in the team. Please join us in wishing her best of luck with future endeavors and keep following her on her own blog to stay in touch!

Hello!
I hope you enjoy our blog hop with Viva Las Vegas Stamps!
Armed with my blending tool, I created a CAS card with these fabulous Viva Las Vegas Stamps Banksy images!
I love how graphic the images are and they lend themselves perfectly to creating silhouettes. The images are all very thought provoking too. These rubber stamps create perfect images from the first stamping, which is rare...I was pleasantly surprised!
I started out by blending three Distress Ink colours and then flicked some water onto the ink to create the water marks, blotting the excess off after. On to this background I stamped one of the VLV Banksy images in solid black. For the sentiment I used WOW! Everyday Sentiments and heat embossed this using Black Glint and Metalline Dark Blue powders.
I couldn't use a Banksy image without paying tribute to the artist, so a small 'Banksy' tag is embossed in Metallic Silver in the bottom right hand corner :) The finishing touch was three small rhinestones 'leading' up to the sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the hop!!
Supplies:
- Metallic Silver powder
Maya
I got a full sheet of lovely Mixed Media styled stamps from Viva Las Vegas Stamps, they work so well with the embossing powders from WOW and I know I will love and use them a lot. I made a fun card using two of the stamps, a sentiment from WOW and a selection of different embossing powders. I embossed the rings in Glacier Blue, the arrows with Fools Gold, the sentiment with Clear Gloss and the small hearts with Neutral Ultra Shimmer and then a couple of coats of Clear Gloss on top.

ReplyDeleteWonderful CAS card from Sian. Less is definitely more... and Sian is leaving on a high! Good luck for the future.
ReplyDeleteMaya's card is less CAS and more mixed media but equally lovely.
Maya's collage-y card is fabulous ... layered images, texture and such a gorgeous colour palette! Sian's ink blending is stunning ... a perfect backdrop for the silhouette image ... and such glorious white space ... yum! Anita :)
