Designated Riot Area

Hello Again Crafty Friends!

Today, I will be sharing one of my favorite things...

Mail Art!!!

Stamps Used:
Banksy bolt cutter Rat
Banksy designated riot area
Born to be wild
Jagged chain link fence

I started by stamping the rat with bolt cutter on and A2 envelope in archival ink -Jet black.

I masked the rat off, then stamped my chain link fence in archival ink- watering can.

Next, I used a ruler to draw my grounding line, then stamped my designated riot area stamp.

(archival- Jet black)

I used distress ink in hickory smoke to shade the fenced area. I also used hickory smoke distress ink sprays to add some grunge/distressed flicks.

I used alcohol markers in red to color my base.

I also added my born to be wild stamp for added detail.

To finish everything off, I used distress oxide ink in black soot to edge everything.

I also added a few finishing flicks of dylusions black ink.

I hope you enjoy this bit of Banksy goodness.

Banksy Takes over the post Again!

Hello Again!
Welcome back to another Mail Art Monday!

Today I want to share the Envelopes I made for the VLVS Banksy Mail Art swap on the

Viva Las VegaStamps Groupies Facebook page!

(I hope some of you joined in!)

To start I created a pair of A2 sized envelopes using my Envelope punch board and some blue watercolor looking scrapbook paper.

Next I stamped all 3 of my Banksy stamps in black Stazon ink. (stamps listed below)

I masked off my address block, with an business card that I often use as a mask.

(Hence the ink all already all over it...lol)

I traced around this with a black Micron pen.

Now to enhance the blue color, I used Distress inks in salty ocean and tumbled glass.

The stencil I used was by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous (THMS055)

Next, I added a few flicks of picket fence and black soot distress stains.

After I removed the mask I added a few doodles around the inside of the address lock with my white gel pen and a black Micron.

I hope you all enjoy these fun envelopes, and I hope you feel inspired to get inky!

Greetings from Banksy!

Hello World!

Today I want to share some quick and easy any occasion cards I created using some of the Banksy stamps by Viva Las Vegastamps, on my ever growing stack of gelli prints.

(if you are like me you probably have a stack or some master boards lying around... so grab some and cut those bad boys up!!!)

... If you don't have any, then grab a brayer or sponge dobber and slap some paint on some cardstock for bases.. lol (thats basically what my bear card is) ...

The reason I love Banksy stamps on these is because they are so bold they will show up on busy backgrounds, or shine on simple ones too! Basically you can't go wrong!!

(stamps used listed at the bottom)

I also used some crayola slick sticks and Tim Holtz distress crayons for some extra shading and the circle doodles. For some added grunge I flicked black dylusions sprays randomly also... the black marker is micron for the extra doodles.

Stamps Used:
Plate 1482 (you save $ if you buy as a plate)
Banksy Love Bug
I See Humans
Banksy Circus Bear
Banksy Eat the Rich

Thank you for visiting!

I hope you've enjoyed these fun off the wall greetings!

(I need to make more so I can use up my growing gelli print stack!)

Day Dreaming of Paradise

Hello Friends!

Today I am here to share a pair of really fun ATC's

(Artist Trading Cards) with you!

For those of you whom know me personally, you know I am a dreamer...

I love the ocean, and my head is always in the clouds dreaming up ideas...
So this new stamp from VLVS spoke to my heart from the moment that I saw it!!!

To create these ATC's I used the wrinkle free distress technique carefully building up each layer of color... I stamped my images in black archival ink and used a black ink pen to draw my boarder. I also added a few flicks of some glimmer mist to give it that extra dreamy feel!

I can tell this little girl is a dreamer too!!

(And Who doesn't Love Banksy!?!)

Stamps Used:

Seek Paradise 3/4 x 2 1/4

Banksy Child Fishing In Paper Boat 4 x 2 1/2

Thank you for stopping in to dream with me today!
I hope you find yourself dreaming of your paradise too!

Banksy Takes Over The Postal Service!

Hello Again, and welcome back for another Fabulous

MAIL ART MONDAY!!!

Today Banksy is here to take the over the mail with the latest mail art craze... Pocket Letters!!
If you are like me.. then you love the idea of fun art that you can scare with friends and can also be easily kept in a binder to enjoy for years!

I love that these fit perfectly into a standard business envelope and that you can tuck special surprises into each of the "pockets"...

some of my favorite things to add are Washi samples, Tea, Stickers, decorative paper clips, and of course... don't forget the letter!!!

To create this pocket letter I cut my black cardstock into 9 ATC sized pieces (2.5"x3.5") to use as my base. Then I cut a piece of decorative scrapbook paper to 2.25" x 3.25" so that I would have a small black boarder when they were layered. I glued one base to each colored piece.

I picked my theme (Banksy) and then began by stamping out each of the black base images on my cards . Next I decided I wanted gold as my accent color, so I added hints of gold to each card to bring everything together.

(Don't think of them as a layout just do 1 card at a time.. It won't feel over whelming that way....You can always move them around to find a layout when you finish them all.)

After all of the cards where assembled in the pockets I punched out some gold confetti to add to my pockets for a few shakers. (with gold washi tape to hold it in of course)... If you choose to do this and you want to fill the backs of each pocket add your surprises in the back before adding confetti and taping... it will be easier
