Artsy Needle Book

Welcome to my weekly post for AALLandCreate. Today I am combining my A4 stamp and heart stamp with Eileen Hull's Needle Book Die.

You can find a list of our stockists for the AALLandCreate stamps HERE.

I love creating miniature pieces and Eileen's Needle Book die is perfect. I began by die cutting my piece from mountboard and then brayering paints onto my substrate, in this case Distress Paints Peeled Paint and Twisted Citron.

I used my A4 Layered Grunge stamp and my heart stamps for this piece and they worked beautifully together.

I created an accordion for the Needle Book and machine stitched around the outside edges for added extra texture.

I added lots of stamped layers including second generation stamping to my DREAM text so that it acted as a shadow in the background. I also added texture, applying texture paste through Autour de Mwa' stencil.

This is the stencil I used to add that much needed texture to the background.

I love using greens in my artwork, they are so fresh and uplifting. I also added numbers in the background stamped using my A4 Layered Grunge stamp set.

Book page hearts and delicate splatters of paint add further interrest to my design.

I also incorporated some delicate splatters of white paint.

From this picture you can just make out the second generation stamping in the background.

Finally the back of my needle book.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
