Get Up and Dress Up!

Hi there! It’s a new week and a whole new month of inspiration to look forward to here on the Visible Image blog!

Jane Tyrrell is here with some inspiration for our brand new challenge…

Hello,

It’s the first of May and it also happens to fall on a Monday. This means that it is also time for me to share my newest Design Team inspiration for Visible Image.

I am also excited about the brand new themed monthly Visible Image challenge starting over on Facebook. You don’t even need to blog to be able to enter it. You just upload you photo into the album set up for May. Simples! You can also win a £40 coupon (wow) to spend on their website if you are the randomly chosen winner at the end of the month.

I love entering challenges and I also find them great for kick starting my inspiration so I am delighted that Helen has introduced this. For our first challenge the theme is ” Express Yourself”. We need to see you using your Visible Image words or quote stamps as the focal on your project. You can make anything at all; cards, tags, 3D objects etc, just make sure that the only stamps that you use are Visible Image. You can enter as many times as you like!

It would be lovely to see you over in the Facebook group if you haven’t joined yet.

This challenge is open to everyone, world wide!

Here is my “Express yourself” card.

I used the brilliant Never Give Up stamp

The background stamps are from the Visometry set.

I love these stamps, they remind me of my childhood days I spent playing and creating with my Spirograph set.

I white embossed my Visometry stamps and then black embossed the words

I wanted a really bright zingy effect so I chose these Distress ink colours to work with

and added colour to the background using the wrinkle free technique. You really need your sun glasses on for this one ?. I waved to it on the recent Create and Craft TV show. There is more exciting news coming soon about that too……….?

Here is a close up of the quote;

and I also decorated the inside with more Visometry stamps

Thanks for stopping by, have an amazing bank holiday weekend and I really hope you get some time to get inky.
As it’s raining here my studio is calling me….?

Back soon.

Bye for now,
