Autumn Treasures with Visible Image Stamps

Welcome Back and thanks for stopping by!

Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the vivid colors, the cool, crisp air, and of course my favorite holiday, All Hallow's Eve.

That being said, I've created this project for a little inspiration for our great Autumn Challenge going on at Visible Image Stamps!


Visible Image has some FAB and very generous prizes for the winners for the Autumn Challenge! There will be THREE separate winners, so what are you waiting for?! Give it a go!!


For this greeting card, I used Corset and Grunge Flourish.


The corset is colored with copic markers to accent, and I've added grommets and ribbon to echo the lacing on the corset. 


To add some warmth, I used my Tim Holtz felt-topped blending tool and went around the sides of the second layer to blend. I then popped the entire second layer off the base of the card to help create depth.



So! I hope you enjoyed this creation! Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and I hope you do!) is to: 
1) Check out the Visible Image Autumn Inspired Challenge for the chance to win some FAB FREE PRIZES; 
2) Check out the store to see what other awesome stamps we've created for your enjoyment; and 
3) Come play with us at our Facebook Group! We don't bite...hard. :)

Well, what do you think?

    The way you colored this corset is just beautiful. I especially like the grommets and ribbon holding it to the card it echos the corset perfectly as does the background.

      I have to agree with you on the grommets, I think they are my favorite accent to use. Thanks for checking out this project! :D

How To Effectively Sell: Part III - FABG!

Hello All, Let me preface this post by saying that the FABG selling technique is not my original idea. When I was in commission sales I read a selling book that saved my life (and my paycheck) by Harry J. Friedman called "No Thanks, I'm Just Looking". While not the most well written book, Friedman does a great job of explaining how his years in the industry have helped him to form his professional retail sales techniques and turn shoppers into buyers. I recommend you pick this book up! It has saved my bacon many many times!! So, What *is* FABG? FABG stands for Feature, Advantage, Benefit, Grabber. Any item can be FABG'ed. Features - features are parts of the piece. Either a part of the piece or a characteristic of the piece. Often times this is the size, color, texture, materials used, etc. Advantages - this is tied directly to the features of the item. An advantage is what the customer will gain from the feature. Friedman uses the phrase "which means&q

The Making of The Babadook Pop Up Book HD

Image
My boyfriend has an affinity for horror films so when he recently showed me the movie The Babadook, I was interested because I too like a good scary story. I was happily surprised when the story focused on a mother and child and a bedtime story that is definitely NOT for children. The Babadook is a 2014 Australian-Canadian film in which a woman and her child are tormented by an evil entity. I recommend seeing this movie (even if you are not a fan of horror) for two reasons: the story, although portrayed as a horror film, is really a story of grief and how one copes and changes as a result of being touched by the death of a loved one.  Also, this film has some great papercraft and paper engineering, as you can see from the above video. I hope you enjoyed this post because this is easily one of my favorite movies now. I hope you get to see this film! Cheers!

Artists Collective: #4 - Robert Norman Ross

Image
One of my earliest memories during my childhood was watching Bob Ross as a family with my parents and brother in the evenings on PBS. Bob's calm voice seemed to put me into a trance and with just a few simple strokes, Bob had created a beautiful pieces of work that now are highly valued and sought after by collectors around the world. Bob Ross is probably one of the most influential creators in my artists collective and I still find myself just as entranced and captivated by Bob's creations on the canvas today as I was when I was growing up. Its not hard to see why The Joy of Painting has had such an enduring impact on society. (It still plays on PBS and there are millions of videos on youtube!) Bob Ross is even widely considered the grandfather of ASMR ! (Do you get the tingles? Find my favorite ASMR youtubers HERE and HERE .) One thing I found out while writing this article was that Bob Ross was once compared to Fred Rogers, which in and of itself should be considered a
