Bloom and Grow

Welcome today I have a card for you using my Feathered Bloom Border Stamp. I adore this stamp, the detail is fantastic and it is so versatile. You can find the stamp set HERE.

I opted for an Alcohol Ink background on Yupo Paper to give an alternative look to my design.

I love the pop of red from the flower set against the bold colours from the Alcohol Inks.

I also incorporated my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp, adding DREAM and some random background stamping.

The pops of white lift the whole design and add a further layer to the piece.

I also added the sentiment Bloom and Grow from the same Border Stamp.

I also added some delicate splatters of red paint.

The stamps used in todays piece or shown below:

Patriotic Card

Today I have created a quick card to celebrate the success of the England Football team winning their game yesterday and also to celebrate the 4th July with my USA friends.

I was simply inspired to use the colours Red, White and Blue and today seemed the ideal time to use those colours. I also incorporated my Feathered Bloom stamp set from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.

I opted to stamp with Distress Oxides and I am really pleased with the detail. I used Candied Apple and Faded Jeans.

I used three star adornment embellishments which I painted with Distress Paints.

Another little Tim embellishment to add a touch more dimension.

A few delicate splatters of paint and my card is complete.

Happy 4th July to my American friends and a big well done to the England Football Team.

Bloom and Grow

Wow I cannot believe we are already at the end of May, time is whizzing by. Welcome and thanks for joining me for another blog post for AALLandCreate. Today I am showcasing my new border stamp.

I adore my border stamp and love the wonderful detail which can be incorporated into so many designs whatever your taste.

These stamps are available from our stockists, a list of which you can find HERE.

I began by adding a layer of tangerine paint to my white card, applying the paint directly to the card with a piece of Cut 'n' Dry Foam. I then added a second layer of paint, in this case magenta. I love this mix of colours.

I dried the layers of paint with a heat tool thoroughly and then stamped my border stamp onto the background with black Archival Ink.

I then die cut a medium and small circle from the stamped background and at the same time die cut five extra circles for each piece and layered those all together so that I had two dimensional circles. I then applied black Archival Ink around the edges of each circle and then adhered each circle back into the die cut aperture aligning the image.

I love this technique, it adds so much dimension and interest to a detailed design. I also added some Dina Wakley Media Tape to the top, stamping my sentiment from the same stamp set on top of the Media Tape. I love how the detail is still visible below the Tape.

I also incorporated some stencilling using Kassa's stencil, applying white acrylic paint over the stencil.

I also added a Tim Holtz Story Stick for added interest.

AALLandCreate stamps are available through the Boutique.

Dream

Hi and welcome to a new week and today I have a blog post for you using my border stamp from AALLandCreate.

Today I have a card for you created using my border stamp, I adore the detail on this stamp.

This time around I just used the feather part of the stamp to create my card.

I created a background using Distress Oxide Inks Evergreen Bough and Fired Brick, applying the inks to my glass matt, spritzing with water and then mopping up the beads of ink with my card. I repeated this process several times until I was happy with the depth of colour, drying between each layer.

I used low tack tape to mask off the area of the stamp I did not want on this occasion and then inked the stamp with Black Archival Ink, removed the low tack tape and then stamped onto the inky background.

I added numbers using my Date It stamp and Vermillion Archival Ink and added some micro beads for added texture. I also included a vintage dip pen for added interest.

All the latest release are available from our stockists which you can find HERE.

I stitched the vintage dip pen into place and also added some random stencilling using Autour de Mwa's stancil and Fired Brick Distress Oxide Ink.

I also added some delicate splatters to the background using white paint along with some delicate splatters of Fired Brick Distress Paint. I also stamped the feathers a couple more times and added them for further dimension.

You can find all the stamps available in the AALLandCreate Boutique.
