Possibilities For Creativity....

I have a card for you today showcasing my newly released Border Stamp "Knibs and Mushrooms" #276, which I adore from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am loving the combination of Wilted Violet and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks together. Here I have blended the inks over the Totally Dotty Stencil, adding layers of colour to give depth and dimension to the colours and stencilling.

I have also incorporated some background stamping using my newly released A7 Stamp Set "Heartfelt" #304, I love this stamp for adding touches of text to the background of any design or project.

I added a circular spotlight to my focal image, another trademark of mine, which I love. I added a touch of shading to the spotlight using an Inktense Pencil in grey.

The spotlight also adds a touch of dimension along with the added nib to the top of the spotlight.

One of my favourite sentiments completes the design. This is from my A5 Stamp Set "Thankful Petals" #272.

Pen Nib Card

Morning and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card for you showcasing my "Knibs and Mushrooms" Border Stamp #276 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am really enjoying using my nibs imagery at the moment, it's so versatile and easy to use in so many designs. Here I have set the nibs against a simple stencilled background. I have simply blended Wilted Violet and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks over the Weathered Tiles Stencil.

There is quite a bit of detail in the focal image so I want to keep the background fresh and uncluttered for this card.

I have added a square spotlight to give definition to my design and to add further definition to the spotlight I have drawn around the shape with a grey Inktense pencil.

I have also used my "Frame It" Stamp Set #282 to add further detail to the edges of my card.

I use this sentiment a great deal in my creations it is from my A5 Stamp Set "Thankful Petals" #272.

To finish, I added a mini paperclip for further interest along with some delicate splatters of white paint.

Blossom Card

Back to the more vibrant tones this time around adding paint layers for a tactile feel to my card. I am showcasing my A5 Stamp Set "Thankful Petals #272 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love these two colours together they are Bubblegum and Aqua Duck Egg Fresco Finish Paints and they work so well combined together in a background. This background is a simple brayered background with a touch of Snowflake brayered over the top for added brightness.

From this picture you can see the layers I have added, the background is so textural from the chalk paints.

I added extra dimension, adding two layers to my flower head and I also incorporated some added random stamping to the petals and background using my A7 Stamp "Heartfelt" #304.

I also incorporated some soft silver wire, stapled into place for added interest. I also incorporated the paint skin from my paint pot. I love quirky touches like this.

In Art There Are No Mistakes.....

I absolutely love the colours on this card, the vibrancy is wonderful and showcases the pen nibs perfectly. I am showcasing my newly released Border Stamp "Knibs and Mushrooms" #276 for this piece. My new products are available from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love using pink and orange together, this time around using Dina Wakley paints in Magenta and Tangerine. I simply brayered the colours onto the background of my card and then placed the Weathered Tiles Stencil #59 onto the background and wiped over the open areas with a babywipe to remove some of the paint.

I adore adding spotlights to my work and this time around I kept the spotlight in white for a contrast and I love the look. I also added an extra nib for added dimension.

I applied touches of Turquoise paint over the same stencil to add a second layer of colour.

I also incorporated some book pages for added interest along with some delicate splatters of white paint. The sentiment is from my A5 Stamp Set "Thankful Petals" #272.

Butterfly Canvas

This canvas came together so easily and I love the outcome.  The butterfly has so much wonderful detail. My canvas showcases my new A4 "Nature Elements" #267 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I began by painting the canvas board with Byzantium Fresco Finish Paint and I then added some delicate stamping using my A7 Stamp "Heartfelt" #304, stamping with paint just to lift the background a little.

I adore the detail in the butterfly and my Gel Press Print using Olga's Profusion Stencil #84 to give some background detail.

For my Gel Press print I used Fresco Finish Paints Khaki, Sage and Byzantium. I also incorporated some delicate splatters of white paint using my Posca Paint Pen.

I added dimension to the butterfly wing along with added dimension to the pen nib body, incorporating soft silver wire for added texture.

I added the sentiment, which I love from my A5 Stamp Set "Thankful Petals" #272. To highlight the sentiment further I also drew around the edges with a grey Inktense Pencil.

I kept the embroidery hoop natural as I love the rustic feel that it gives to my piece.

Fungus

This card has a real delicate feel, just what I was trying to achieve for my Toadstool image.  I was absolutely delighted with the way this stamp turned out, I adore the detail and background elements. My card showcases my new Border Stamp "Fungus" #275 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

For my background this time around I lightly brayered Honey Dew and Byzantium Fresco Finish Paints across my background, using only a light touch to add the paint layers.

I adore the subtle background stamping using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks and my A7 Background Stamp "Heartfelt" #304, I adore this stamp, its so versatile.

I also incorporated a small tag, with the wording Art added, adding a touch of shading to the outside edges so that it coordinates with the background in my card.

The sentiment and art text are from my A5 stamp set "Thankful Petals" #272.

Create With Passion

I love the brightness of this piece, the colours are so uplifting and work beautifully with this open flower. I also adore using embroidery hoops in my artwork too. This piece showcases my A5 Stamp Set  "Thankful Petals" #272 from my new collection, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I drew around my embroidery hoop onto a piece of white card and then used this as my piece for decorating. My background is created with Distress Oxide Inks mopped up from my non-stick craft sheet.

I used the Totally Dotty to add shaded circles to my background, adding layers of colour for depth and dimension.

I also added touches of background stamping using my newly released A7 Stamp "Heartfelt" #304, I stamped with Oxide Inks to give a tone on tone effect and also with black stamping to give a contrast.

I also added a hinge clip and chicken wire for added texture and dimension.

I adore the natural touch of the embroidery hoop against the vibrancy of the colour. I added dimension to my flower by adding three layers and incorporated further texture with cotton thread.
