Floral Birthday Card

Today I am showcasing a card using my newly released A5 Stamp Set "Blossom Wishes" #240 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

My card today has a real fresh modern feel to it, using Distress Oxide Inks Twisted Citron and Picked Raspberry, applying the inks to the background with a piece of acetate.

The black stamping really pops against the fresher backdrop and the doodling on the spotlight helps to draw the eye into the design.

I added a pot to my flower arrangement and stamped into the layers of melted clear embossing powder using my background stamp from my Border Stamp "Brush Flower" #234.

A touch of stamping around the background has also been added, using the background stamp once again from my Border Stamp "Brush Flower". stamping in a tone on tone colour.

I have also stamped my sentiment onto Calico to add further texture. A few delicate splatters of white paint lift the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all your support. Tracy x x

Live Simply

Today I am showcasing an accordion using my newly released A7 Stamps "Magical House" and "Heart and Home" #261 and #263 combined with my newly released Border Stamp "Brush Flower" #234, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love creating mini accordions and this time around I have used Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers in the background, adding the inks to my non-stick craft sheet and then mopping up the colours with the pieces of card. Repeating the process several times to achieve good depth of colour.

I then coloured a separate piece of white card with Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry and then stamped my little houses onto the coloured card. I also added some background stamping using the number background stamp from my "Brush  Flower" Border Stamp.

Once piece of the accordion was also stamped with the sentiments within the sets along with the little adorable fairy. I also used Gel Pens to add colourful highlights.

A few touches of doodling and white highlights add further detail.

Sentiments have also been stamped onto calico for added texture.

I added black twine to act as closures for my accordion.

Teasel Journal

Today I am showcasing a mixed media journal  using my newly released A5 Stamp "Teasel" #239, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am so thrilled with the way this one turned out. If you want to watch the demo you can find this one on Hochanda on rewind. My shows were on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th October for AALLandCreate.

My teasel stamp is added to tissue, simple tissues that you blow your nose with lol and the result is better than I could have expected, I love it!

I also added some numbers from the number background stamp on my Brush Flower Border Stamp #234, this stamp is going to be used over and over.

I added a vintage watch face along with some stamped calico, which is fastly becoming a favourite thing of mine, stamping onto calico to give a different texture.

My substrate is Eileen Hull's Journal Die. I also added some random machine stitching to my background for a further texture.

This is the back of my journal, showcasing the Lotza Dotz Stencil.

I also incorporated a rusty nail and some coloured pebble type embellishments.

Thanks for all your support with my new release, I appreciate all your comments and feedback. Tracy x x

Today Is A New Beginning

Today I am showcasing a mixed media card  using my newly released Border Stamp "Brush Flower" #234, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am so thrilled with this stamp, the detail is fantastic and the background elements really add so much interest to the design.

I am loving using embroidery hoops in my artwork and this smaller size worked perfectly for my card.

This picture shows the detail in the background and also the added layer from the Lotza Dotz Stencil. I used Distress Oxides Fossilized Amber and Hickory Smoke, a new favourite colour palette for me at the moment.

I used a resist technique in the background and then added my inks, applying the inks to a piece of Acetate and then smooshing the ink across the card.

I love adding some touches of hand stitching to my designs, it adds a wonderful textural element.

Of course I had to add some random book pages to the background along with some delicate splatters of paint.

Thanks you so much for stopping by and for all your wonderful feedback regarding my new designs. I cannot wait to see what you all create with them. Tracy x x

Flourishing Vase

Today I am showcasing a card I created using my A6 Stamp "Flourishing Vase" #213, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I created a blended backdrop for my focal image, blending Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks across my card.

I spritzed the Lotza Dotz Stencil with water and then lay the stencil down onto my card and allowed the water to sit for a few moments so that it reacted with the Oxide Inks and I then removed the stencil and allowed the water to dry naturally.

I also incorporated some doodling to draw the eye into the focal image. I also added further dimension to the pot and the flower heads.

Thanks so much for visiting. Tracy x x

Today Is A New Beginning

Today I am showcasing a card I created using my A6 Stamp "Flourishing Vase" #213, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I created a simple backdrop using the Lotza Dotz Stencil and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink. I love the background and sometimes you don't need to over complicate things. I also added a spotlight for my focal image, again using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink.

I added some dimension to my pot and also my flowers, colouring a piece of white card with Distress Oxide Inks for the flowers and the pot I used a scap of a brayered background.

The sentiment was also stamped onto a scrap of card. The touches of yellow you can see in the background were from colour left on the stencil from a previous project.

Eclectic Stem

Today I am showcasing a card I created as one of my demo pieces from a few shows I have attended around the country, using my A5 Stamp "Eclectic Stems" #199, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

This background was created simply from cleaning my Gel Press from a previous card and I have to say I adore the outcome. It looks like worn wallpaper to me and something I would like to repeat. It's not really possible to create a background exactly the same but something similar is achievable .

Once again I have use PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paints Sugar Plum, Lake Winaka and Sour Grapes for my background . At the moment these are a firm favoourite.

I added touches of Cheesecloth and random cut out pieces of card to ground my flower and I included a banner sentiment.

I clear embossed my flower and also incorporated a jump ring to the centre for added interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
