Time Flies

I could not sleep so decided to put the time to good use and create a canvas using my A4 stamp Time Flies #143 from AALLandCreate.

All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I began by adding lots of layers of paint to my background until I was happy with the depth, the Dina Wakley paints are lovely and rich and stay wet a little longer which makes blending a lot easier.
I added some bold scratchy lines to add impact to my design.
I stamped the butterfly in the background and added some further dimension with a touch of clay.
Vintage book pages added to the background add further interest along with some cotton threads and delicate splatters of red paint.

It's Your Time To Bloom

Today I am showcasing my A6 flower stamp Doodled Blooms #140 combined with my A4 stamp Time Flies #143 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I think these two stamps combine so well together and the sentiment is perfect, showcasing the flower with the clock imagery.

The background is created with Dina Wakley Acrylic Paints Turquoise and Lime, two of my favourite colours, adding a pop of red to liven everything up a little. I also included a touch of stencilling in the background.
I added a pop of red twine along with a small clay pot again painted with Dina Wakley Paints. You can see the circles from the stencil in the background which adds yet another layer of interest.
A few touches of Texture Paste to add further dimension and interest along with some cotton threads.
I also added some delicate splatters of paint and further added dimension to my flower head.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Make Today Amazing

Today I am showcasing my A6 flower stamp Doodled Blooms #140 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
One of my favourite colour palettes today Turquoise and Lime with touches of Black. I used Dina Wakley Paints and brayered layers of colour over and over until I was happy with the depth of colour to my background.
I then added a monoprint using Autour de Mwa's stencil, applying Black Soot directly to the stencil and spritzing with water and then placing the stencil ink side down onto my background.
Delicate white splatters lift the whole design and touches of cotton thread add further texture. I also added dimension to each of my flowers.
I also applied some Lime paint directly over the stencil to add yet a further layer to my background.
The sentiment is also from the same stamp set.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Doodled Blooms

Today I am showcasing my A6 flower stamp Doodled Blooms #140 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I began by creating a background with Autour de Mwa Stencil Weathered Tiles combined with Dina Wakley's paints Magenta and Tangerine.
I was aiming for a fresh vibrant feel to this piece and these colours work so well together. I then stamped the numbers from my Layered Domino Border Stamp #151, stamping with Archival Inks Monarch Orange and a touch of Black.
I added a touch of dimension to the flower adding two layers, which were stamped onto a brayered background of Dina Wakley Paints. A touch of silver wire adds further interest and texture.

Bloom

Showcasing my newly released Border Stamp Checkered Nature #149 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I am still working with my fresh colour palettes once again, think because its January I am trying to lift my spirits by working with more uplifting colours. I created my background by applying Distress Oxides Evergreen Bough and Twisted Citron over Autour de Mwa's Lotza Dotz stencil, simply blending the colours and adding layers of each colour.
There is something about this colour palette, it really lifts the whole design, I think its the touches of red that draw the eye in. I added a couple of spotlights, adding die cut circles for added interest and dimension to my design.
I also included a small clay pot and some twine for the stem. The red dots were created with the end of my paintbrush and some Ruby Acrylic Paint.
The circle elements help to draw the eye into the focal image.

Time To Bloom

I love mixing my stamps as they all combine so beautifully and this time around I have experimented with my newly released A4 Stamp Time Flies #143 along with my newly released Border Stamp Checkered Nature #149 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I created my background with Distress Oxide Evergreen Bough to give a delicate layer but adding some fresh detail to the backdrop.
I stamped the clock in the background from my A4 stamp set which works perfectly with the sentiment 'Time To Bloom'.
I wanted to add a pop of colour so stamped my flower from the Border Stamp onto a brayered background of Ruby Paint which really pops agains the turquoise backdrop.
I added twine for my flower stem, a clay pot for added dimension along with several layers to my flower.
I love the fresh feel to this card, just what I needed for a dull January day.

New Year, New Flower!

Today I have a post showcasing my newly released Border Stamp Checkered Nature #149 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.
I began my card by adding a couple of layers of Dina Wakley Paint to the background and then placed my stencil onto the wet paint and then used a baby wipe to wipe away some of the paint from the open areas in the stencil.
I love the background on this stamp and with it being such an open design all the detail is still visible behind. I also incorporated some hand stitching for the stem of the flower and added a circle of twine for added texture.
I placed a little clay pot to the base of my card, which gives the design further dimension and interest.
Dimension has also been added to my flower along with some delicate splatters of paint.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I now need to catch up with more deadlines. I always find it difficult to start back after Christmas. Hope you all find some time to touch base with your creative side.
