Stay Curious

Today I am showcasing an accordion card I created during a Facebook Live, using my A6 Stamp "Curiosities" #209, combined with my A6 background stamp "Background Mash Up" #210 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I loved creating this accordion during a recent Facebook Live, you can find the video below.

I love how all the layers are visible on each piece.

I love the layer of Beeswax which adds a wonderful translucent texture.

The machine stitching adds a further texture along with the torn edges of watercolour paper.

The black reinforcers add another dimension to the card.

I love how the background stamping is clearly visible.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Tracy x x

Attitude is Everything

Today I am showcasing a card I created as one of my demo pieces during my recent One Day Special on Hochanda, using my A6 Stamp "Curiosities" #209, combined with my background A6 Stamp "Background Mash-up" #210 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love the detail from the background stamp, which I stamped in Distress Oxide Inks.

I incorporated some rolls of vintage book pages for a touch of added texture along with some cotton thread.

I love the hand on the Curiosities set especially set against these vibrant colours, which I applied with a brayer directly onto an Artist Trading Coin.

I also incorporated some circle reinforces for added interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Imagine

Today I am showcasing a card created entirely from leftovers, leftover paint, inky backgrounds etc., using my A5 Stamp "Hope" #200, combined with my background A6 Stamp "Background Mash-up" #210 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

The background layer was excess paint I brayered onto my card from a previous project and I thought it was too good just to add to the bin.

The flower was stamped onto another background that was excess paint brayered onto a scrap of card and I simply stamped my flower head onto the painted backdrop three times and then adhered them together to create a dimensional flower.

I also added some delicate stencilling which was, once again, excess paste from my stencil from a previous project and I simply wiped over the stencil onto this card, using only the excess paste remaining on the stencil.

I doodled some black lines around the edges of my card to make everything pop and I also included a pot cut from waste backgrounds from previous backgrounds.

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog. Tracy x x

Believe In Yourself

Today I am showcasing a card I created on my Hochanda Show on Friday 9th August and Saturday 10th August using my A5 Stamp "Hope" #200, combined with my background A6 Stamp "Background Mash-up" #210 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

You can re watch the shows on catch up if you missed them the first time around.

I was really pleased with how this card turned out, I love the colours and how all the layers are visible in the design, adding wonderful depth, drawing the viewer into the card.

I added a touch of background stamping using my "Background Mash-up" Stamp using tone on tone colours. and you can also see the touch of stencilling in the background too.

Vintage book pages add another element to the design, also adding further texture.

I also love the touches of grey stamping in the background.

I created this card for a demo and I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. I love the texture from the paint and the white circles really pop against the backdrop.

I also created this card on a Facebook Live demo, which you can find below if you missed it the first time around.

The Facebook Live goes into detail for every step,

Adding a few close up shots so that you can see all the wonderful layered detail.

Create Your Own Magic

Today I have a card using my newly released A5 Stamp "Eclectic Stems" #199, combined with my newly released A6 Stamp, Background Mash Up #210 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love the combination of Turquoise and Black for this card and using opaque paints allowed me to add layer upon layer to give wonderful depth to my design.

I love this flower and as a bonus it works beautifully with my A6 Stamp Set Doodled Blooms and when both small and large flowers are layerd together they make a fabulous dimensional statement piece.

I also added some delicate background stamping to my background using my Background Mash Up stamp, stamping with White and Turquoise Paint.

The circles are quite textural; I applied paint with my finger over the Lotza Dotz Stencil along with a few delicate splatters of paint.

I also incorporated one of my favourite sentiments, along with some cotton threads for added texture.

Make A Difference

Today I have a card using my newly released Border Stamp, Hexagonal Stem #206, combined with my newly released A6 Stamps, Background Mash Up #210 and Hexagonal Tiles #208 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love these three stamps combined together and the dramatic black Oxide backdrop really makes the other colours pop.

I used clear embossing powders on my hexagonal stems and then blended Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink over the top. Once I was happy with the depth of colour I then used a damp piece of paper towel to remove the black from the embossed areas. I then heated the powder a little more, so overheating it so that the embossing then had a matt look on some of the areas and I then applied touches of more of the Black Soot ink which will now stick to the design.

I also incorporated some vintage book pages and some delicate background stamping using my Background Mash Up stamp.

Laugh, Love, Smile

Today I have a card using my newly released A6 Stamps, Flourishing Vase #213, Background Mash Up #210 and Hexagonal Tiles #208 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am really enjoying using lots of colours in my cards and this one really lifts the spirits. I created a spotlight with Dina Wakley Paints and I then placed the Lotza Dotz Stencil #59 onto the painted backdrop and removed some of the paint from the open areas.

I also added a touch more shading to my circle with Distress Crayons. I love using my background stamp to add touches of more stamping to my backgrounds and I opted for a tone on tone effect.

I cut out a hexagon from the top of my circle and added one of my hexagonal tiles behind the aperture and I also created a quirky pot for my flowers, again using the hexagonal tiles.

I used my half flower from the Flourishing Vase and created a whole flower using the same stamp; this stamp offers wonderful versatility.

I added a hinge clip for added dimension and interest.
