Do Small Things with Great Love

Welcome, today I am showcasing my Blossomed Dreams Stamp Set #123 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our stockists which you can find listed HERE.

I began by creating a background with Distress Oxides Worn Lipstick and Hickory Smoke. I applied the inks one by one to my non-stick craft sheet and then spritzed the ink with water and mopped up the beads of ink with my card. I repeated this process until I was happy with the coverage of ink.

I then did a monoprint using Autour de Mwa's Lotza Dotz Stencil #39, applying Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to my stencil, spritzing with water and then placing the stencil, ink side down and dabbing the back of the stencil with a piece of kitchen towel. Remove the stencil and then dry the ink with a Heat Tool. I added dimension to each of my flowers by adding a second flower head to the first stamping. I then painted each flower head with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink.

I then incorporated one of Tim Holtz metal embellishments and added black twine for added texture and I also included my sentiment from the same stamp set.

A few delicate splatters of black paint add a further layer of interest to my design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

These are the products I incorporated in my card today and are now available from our stockists.

Love Grows Here

Welcome, today I have a card for you using my latest release with AALLandCreate. This time around I am showcasing my Blossomed Dreams #123 A6 Stamp Set. All the products are available from our stockists, which you can find HERE.

I began by stamping my flower onto a piece of kraft card using White Acrylic Paint and then creating a flower mask and blending Distress Oxide Ink Candied Apple, Fired Brick and touches of Aged Mahogany around the flower. I spritzed the background lightly with water, allowed the water to sit for a few moments and then dried with my Heat Tool.

I then stamped my flower head once again onto kraft card using White Acrylic Paint and then coloured with pencils, adding layers of colour to the petals for definition. I also added some tone on tone stamping using my A4 Numbered Botanical Set, applying Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide ink to the background detail on the stamp and adding random stamping around the background. To add further to the texture I also included some Texture Paste, applied over Autour de Mwa's stencil.

I also included some chicken wire for added dimension and texture along with some hand stitching and Art Pebbles. I also added a mono print using Autour de Mwa's stencil once again, this time applying Black Soot Distress Ink directly to the stencil, spritzing the ink with water and then placing the stencil, ink side down and dabbing with a piece of kitchen towel. I then dried the ink with a Heat Tool. I love the process of adding layers to my designs.

These are the products I used to create my card.

Love Grows Here

Welcome, today I have a card using my newly released Blossomed Dreams A6 Stamp Set #123 from AALLandCreate. You can purchase the new release from our stockists listed HERE.

I opted for something a little different this time around and used my stamps in conjuction with Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift-Ink and I am really pleased with the results. I began by applying a layer of Pitch Black Alcohol Ink to Yupo, applying with and Alcohol Tool and once the ink was dry, which does not take long, I then applied a good layer of the Alcohol Lift-Ink to my stamp, stamped onto the Alcohol Ink background, dabbed with a piece of kitchen towel and then polished to reveal the image in the background. Love this technique.

I also added some parchment to my design so that my flower appeared half on parchment and half as an Alcohold Ink Lift, the parchment adds another tactile layer to my design.

I also included a wooden jigsaw piece which I painted black and then added my sentiment stamped in white, this just adds a touch of dimension to my design and a fun element too. I also included a monoprint in the background using Autour de Mwa's stencil.

I also included some white cotton threads for further texture and added some delicate splatters of white paint.

This is proving to be one of my favourite flowers at the moment and I love how it looks using the Alcohol Lift-Ink.

For further interest I also included a Index Clip and my Dream sentiment again on parchment and on the Alchol Ink background.

These are the products I used in my make today.
