Doni was noticed for her bright use of color and added pattern. She enjoys using my clear stamps for AALL&Create as well as our digital designs. Fans have been very responsive to the beautiful craftsmanship and interpretation of the Vera Lane Studio images.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Doni certainly makes a nice addition to our very talented team. You can view her work as well as the rest of our fabulous team on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1438967136411430/">Vera Lane Studio FaceBook</a> fan page (joining required). </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Doni brings lots of life to the Vera Lane characters. I hope you enjoy looking at her work. Thanks for stopping by. </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-p-l-_Y134s9LPX8K00Nx_65bby7GdVgD1SPQJTwKz8mzAIMa2GAHHkjdEznrCE2U-kmrHdH4ZQz5oN75O9G8LjrQT16dDKIqOqFMdKpdJ9zxW28Bfu6Dv5We4aQpsbvrDY3AIzDj-aJ6f319EV36Q6340tcymVgT2VWYzJy2GyjWqODQUUTgQSj8EQ=s960" style="margin-left: 1em;

I love sequin waste. It comes in a Mylar roll in various “sequin” sizes. The holes are from where the sequins are punched. They make amazing stencils and are great for backgrounds.<br />
<br />
For this fast and easy background I layer a piece of sequin waste on my cardstock. You can hold in place or tape down with washi tape to avoid any shifting. I used a red <a href="https://www.breareese.com/product/watercolor-creams-classics/" target="_blank">watercolor cream, from Brea Reese a</a>nd rubbed over the sequin waste, using it as a stencil. I took a baby wipe and rubbed out some areas. I repositioned the “stencil” and rubbed over the holes to leave some of the circular patterns showing. <br />
<br />
The monochromatic background is just enough tp layer your card elements. The little whimsical girl is from the Vera Lane Studio set “<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/219824077/give-me-some-sugar-whimsical-girl-and" target="_blank">Give me some sugar”</a> Keeping this card in the red tones makes for a visually pleasing composition with very little effort!<br />

I began with three tags from the <a href="https://www.myartc.com/product/teastained-tag-large/" target="_blank">Tea-stained tags</a> collection. Both sides of the tags are decorated. The backs have a nice tea-stain treatment which is a great surface within itself. I used one of the image stencils from the Art-C adhesive <a href="https://www.myartc.com/product/adhesive-stencil-arrow-feather/" target="_blank">stencil/arrow/feather</a> to decorate the tag. The stencils had just the right amount of stickiness to adhere to the tag without tearing the paper — the adhesive allows the stencil to make a nice clean print. I dabbed the stencil with acrylic paint and a paint dabbler from Brea Reese. I dotted the dried image with a <a href="https://www.myartc.com/product/paint-writer-chalk-white-30ml/" target="_blank">Paint Writer in chalk white </a>. I love these little tubes — they deliver just the right consistency of smooth paint for linear lines or dots. The tag is ready to add your images, washi tape or collage bits. I think the neutral background is just perfect to pop your hand-colored images! <br />

This tiny tag concertina is a fast little make that can be tucked in an envelope along with a greeting for that extra surprise and smile. </div>
<div>
To create:</div>
<div>
1. Wet watercolor paper with a brush or spritz with water. </div>
<div>
2. Brush on<a href="https://www.breareese.com/product/glitter-ink/" target="_blank"> Brea-Reese glitter ink</a>. The micro glitter sparkles leaves a nice shimmer (which is hard to detect in the photographs). </div>
<div>
3. Experiment with wet on wet, dripping more ink on wet areas. </div>
<div>
4. Add highlights by dipping a clean brush and plain water. The plain water will “erase” or lighten the color.</div>
<div>
5. Allow drying time. Use a die cut or a tag punch to make tags. Position your punch to capture the most interesting part of your painting. </div>
<div>
6. Add your stamped or digistamp images and some text. Attach the tags with strips of washi tape or scrapbook paper strips with a glue stick. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Create a stack of tags for later use. Can also be cute as gift tags, hang tags on wine bottles or attached to a cellophane bag of goodies. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Today’s CAS (clean and simple) card features our llama from the whimsical <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/467250305/llama-and-giraffe-4-digi-stamp-set-in" target="_blank">Llama and Giraffe</a> set. The background and misty mauve paper matting is from one of my very favorite paper pads from ART-C. The 6 x 6 card stock pad is called “office” with a wonderful assortment of vintage looking office like papers. The neutral tones and subtle textures work well when featuring a hand colored digi stamp. <br />
<br />
The llamas are colored with Copic markers ands mounted on the card with raised glue dots. <br />

This square card was a total experiment with the<a href="https://www.breareese.com/" target="_blank"> Brea Reese Alcohol inks</a>. These super intense affordable inks are a fun medium for interesting backgrounds for your cardmaking. I did not have any waterproof paper on hand so I took a gamble and used photo paper. I was thrilled to see the colors mix and create this glaze-like layered effect.<br />

My little chicks are from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/565029799/farm-animals-set-2-7-digi-stamps" target="_blank"> Vera Lane Studio’s Farm Animal set 2</a> . The chicks are colored in COPIC markers and mounted on foam squares. The stamp sticker is from K& Company. <br />

<span style="color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My name is Bonnie Irvine and I
live in a tiny rural town in western Ontario, Canada. I have been a craft
fanatic since I was a little girl. It's always been my go-to free time
activity. I love creating with paper, paint, inks, and especially digital stamps
since they give me the flexibility I need for the various sizes and substrates
I work on. Mixed media and art journaling are a particular favourite and I love
the way Vera Lane Studio images spark my creativity and suit my colourful
quirky style. I am delighted to guest design with this talented team this
month.</span></i></span></div>

As a teenager, I made my own stationary with paper and stickers. Pretty simple but a lifelong love of paper was born !! I have been rubber-stamping for over 30 years and love the new world of digis !! My day job is as an RN with 30 years of ICU experience. Presently I work in an area called eHospital, based out of the Telemetry Department. My guy and I have been together for 17 years and we have a cute and crazy cat named Pixie. I have one grown son, Carter. Paper-crafting is my BLISS, I especially love making and sending cards !! Lately I have been obsessed with ATCoins - they are SO much fun !! I am in several Snail Mail / Postcard Swap groups and love creating postcards to send to friends all over the world !!</i>

Look for Debra's creations every Tuesday in November.<i>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Digi stamp collecting can be addicting and fun. Finding your favorite images as they are tucked in file folders can make you forget what you have or where your favorite images are located. Sometimes file names do not indicate what is in the folder! Printing them all out and creating a catalog can be one solution; but your binder can become bulky and you may not always have it with you.<br />
<br />
So I’ve come up with a better solution. And I call this “Flip Book”. Flip Book is a digital storage solution that parks on your tablet. It is completely visual and interactive. Not only can you arrange, catalog and store your images, you can retrieve them and copy into your document for printing.<br />
<br />
Flip Book is a PDF file that is imported into an annotation app like GoodNotes. If you are familiar with digital planners, Flip Book operates on the same principles.<br />
<br />
Our first release of our “Citrus” Flip Book will be in our Etsy shop Saturday, July 21. You can see it here in our introduction video. I know you will love Flip Book - it’s the future in stamping and image storage. Our introduction video will give you a better idea of Flip Book’s versatility and function.<br />

If you follow our FB group you have seen Sylvia's clean crisp style and bold dynamic colors. Sylvia has been included in our team chat and I can tell you that her energy and synergy is a great addition to our talented group of loyal ladies.<br />

My name is Sylvia. I live in the Netherlands in a small village called Opperdoes. I am happily married to Gertjan. And I have 2 beautiful daughters of 16 and 8 years old. I like mixed media applications in my projects. Everything I apply is self-taught. I like to experiment and I often play with my materials that I use on my projects. I mainly use a lot of bright colors. They make me happy! I hope that I can bring you a lot of inspiration to get started with VLS yourself! My text in life is: "Be the artist you want to see in yourself."</i></span><br />

Fran Chalmers resides in the UK and is no stranger to Vera Lane Studio. She has been playing on the block for quite some time and is one of our most active ATC swap members, trading her cards all over the world. Inspired by what others create with Vera Lane Studio images Fran is taking on the challenge of guest designer for the month of May. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrAj0dNDZb2MjyhgDlzp3oPv77rsAp_bSvG6XrYLfMePKCBWa4e_Uj3RX5L33KBKCMZuqQ0mEOwyxelaXBMBp6pl-0AoR-h2xLTNamli2nGPFuB69YJkvouyTfMSXw1jQYQbdFfgcWfKzg/s1600/fran.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />
Fran is 60 years young and is married with two lovely daughters and a handsome cocker spaniel named Angus.<br />
Angus is a subject of many of Fran's photography shoots, and if you catch her on Instagram you will see what a fabulous photographer she is!<br />
Fran says she has no formal art training but loves to be creative and feels the "buzz" when she zones into her crafting mode. Enjoying mostly creating cards and ATC's Fran looks forward to mixing it up and creating other crafty projects.<br />
<br />

Our Guest Designer for April has been dazzling us with her creative creations by mixing and matching Vera Lane Studio images to create a wonky nursery rhyme book. We've asked Stase to share a little bit about herself:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I am a 70 something year old who lives in the UK. I have been crafting for approximately the last 12 years and enjoy many types of craft. Mixed media, upcycling, making albums and cards to name just a few.<br />My latest obsession is the quirky and whimsical digital stamps from Vera Lane Studios, which I enjoy playing and having fun with. It keeps the brain active!!</i></blockquote>
<br />
Here are just three pages from Stase's book. Please join us this month so you can view more of Stase's creations. We have an active ATC swap also taking place. If you are not part of our FaceBook community and like working with digi stamps look us up!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We took notice of Slyvia's work and asked for her to be a guest designer.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sylvia's work is fun with a little sass. She loves to get inky and messy with her mixes of media. Her organization skills allows her to stay in a focused direction to create a unified piece although she can get messy in the process!</span></div>

Tasha has been a fan of Vera Lane Studio and likes the quirkiness of our characters. Her design strengths are creative use of color, composition, mixed-media techniques, and of course, her imagination.<br />
<br />
Tasha has shared her whimsical works on our FB fan site. Here are two examples of her creativity using Vera Lane Studio images.<br />

Tasha would like to share a little bit about herself:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I am a mixed media artist, student, and amateur photographer from sunny New Mexico. I am currently studying to receive<br />my Associate of Science for Human Services and have a passion to help others. My other passion, of course, is art and making<br />fun projects to share with others. I first started out making artist trading cards with sharpie markers as my only medium. It<br />wasn’t until I saw mixed media artists and their stunning work that I ventured out of my comfort zone. It is my hope that I<br />can inspire others to look beyond the obvious and make their worlds as colorful as they can be. </i></div>

Please look for Tasha this month on our FB page along with the creations from our wonderful design team.

Today we released our 15 image value bundle "Circles and Stems". These images download in both png and jpg files. The possibilities are endless with these graphic images to incorporate into your art journals, planners and all paper craft projects. The resize and distort to give you hundreds of variations -- link together to create a header for stationery or note cards. Use as backgrounds. Add a monogram.<br />
<br />
Next week we will debut our Arthur Avenue collections. These images are bright and bold, quirky and wonky! Our team is having a blast working with the images and we are sure you will too. In addition to the launch we will now be offering limited editions of collage sheets. These sheets have multiple images pre-colored. Cut and paste for an easy craft fix or enhance with a touch of colored pencil or markers to blend into your art journaling and collages.<br />

Happy New Year everyone! Vera Lane Studio has been busy planning ahead for our 2018 collections. We released 2018 Matilda early and she has found her way into many hearts. We have two new lines and our "Tiny Veras" that will be released each month, collage sheets and planner props too! Our new line will lend itself to more art journaling and mixed media to prepare to see some new things emerging from the studio. <br />
<br />
As we say goodbye to two design team members we are moving ahead with our very talented ladies; <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Corrie, Carole, Stephanie, Sharon,</b> <span style="color: black;">and</span> <b>Teresa</b></span>. New to Vera Lane Studio Design Team we are bringing aboard <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Angie Jones</b></span>. Thanks to Stephanie for locating the perfect fit for our team, Angie has already been creating behind the scenes and you will love her style. Angie is attracted to the quirkiness of Vera Lane Studio and has been a member of several design teams. She would like to share a little bit about herself: <br />

It seems like it is still summer here on Vera Lane as we arrive into November. Many of us are putting away skeletons and pumpkin décor as we head into the holiday season. With winter wonderlands upon us and a season that is merry, we are celebrating a different kind of Wonderland on Vera Lane. Welcome to our theme for November; (Alice in) Wonderland meets Vera Lane.<br />
<br />
We have an exciting wonderland-packed month ahead. The design team has been busy creating lots of inspirational items with current images sets and our new releases. Design Team member Corrie Herriman will be our hostess for our November ATC Wonderland swap. Vera Lane Studio has so many fun characters and more surprises coming out this month that you won't want to miss! <br />
<br />
Many of you have seen the incredible happy mail our members are receiving from our original VLS Swaps -- we have a creative and loving group and there is no better time to jump in and join us! If you are not already a member of our closed FB group please join in for a month of Wonderland fun and inspiration.<br />
<br />
With a new month we have a new guest designer. Please meet and welcome Nasreen Nabaoui. <br />

Nasreen has caught our attention with her wonderful inspiring posts and her review of Vera Lane Studio digi stamps on her YouTube channel. You can watch it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IgzYh17OLw&t=8s" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<i>My name is Nasreen and I am a South African, living in Ireland married to a Moroccant. Art is in my blood as both my parents are artistic and I have been crafting since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. I love all things crafty from decoupague to yarn crafts to card making. Whimsical, bright and feminine are all styles that I hold very dear ...add some pink and you have my aesthetic. I am overjoyed to share my work with you during the month of November</i>.<br />
<br />
Welcome Nasreen and welcome to our month of Wonderland!<br />

It's hard to believe October is here and we are welcoming another guest designer to the Vera Lane Studio design team. Maxine Hole comes from Croydon, England, a large town in South London. Maxine has been a member of Vera Lane Studio fan group since June 2015 and would like to let you know a little bit about herself.<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I live in Surrey and have been married 20 years. I have two children , one now at college and the other looking at University. About 4 1/2 years ago I found I had more free time on my hands so I joined a local card group run by our previous guest designer Jo Harper, since then I haven't looked back.<br /> I really enjoy making clever cards that move and I love getting my teeth into a project, so this guest spot has been a pleasure and has relit my passion for all things craft. I hope you like what I have created, leave me a comment and say Hi!</i><b></b><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></div>
<br />
You will be able to see Maxine's creations every Sunday in October!</div>

Jo Harper will be joining the Vera Lane Studio design team in our guest designer spot for September. Jo is no stranger to Vera Lane as an active participant in our monthly themed swaps. Our theme for September is "The Royals". Jo would like to share a little bit about herself:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I'm very excited to be chosen as a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_965664414" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">Sunday</span></span></span> Guest Designer for Vera Lane, and have been busy trying to improve my colouring skills... I mostly make cards and ATC's, and I love funny quotes and words! </span></span> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I have been married for 24 years, with two children, both at University. Oh, and a cat called Tortie! We live in a small village in the country, just outside London with quite a large garden, which occupies much of my time, growing fruit and vegetables and preserving.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I have been crafting for about 15 years, and run a local craft club with around 20 members (ages 27 to 94) – we love playing with ink, paint and anything messy! We mostly make cards, and I have to come up with a design every week, which is sometimes quite a challenge! </span></span> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I'm looking forward to sharing my creations with you – I love Janet's images, they are such fun and easy to use, and definitely suit my sense of humour!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Print; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We had a great month of samples from our Guest Designer Vicki Garret and we thank her for her wonderful contributions. I know you'll be welcoming to our new guest Jo and will support her with your comments.</span></div>
