Natures Garden

Another card this time around, a little more clean in design. I love experimenting with my card designs.

The blooms from my Natures Garden Stamp Set take centre stage here and really pop against the ore muted colours of the heart.

I began by creating my own torn heart stencil from a scrap of paper and I then blended Iced Spruce and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks over the aperture, blending the colours as I moved around my stencil.

I used my Date It stamp set as a background stamp to add further interest to the backdrop.

A touch of texture is included using Autour de Mwa's Stencil.

I gave my blooms a bold pop of colour to complement the more muted tones of my heart.

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

I added a couple of Index Clips for added dimension.

The products used in this card are shown below:

DREAM

Welcome, today I have a card combining my Natures Garden stamp set with lots of texture along with my A4 Layered Grunge stamp.

I began by brayering a piece of white card with Lime Acrylic Paint from Dina Wakley, brayering a good layer to the card. I then added touches of Night and Turqoise to give depth to my design. I then repeated the process to add light layers of the same colours, brayering each colour lightly over the top. The paint was then dried with a Heat Tool.

I am loving these colours together at the moment and I love how each layer is visible and the touches of white lift the design perfectly.

The DREAM and flower heads have been stamped onto a piece of card that has been brayered with Turquoise Acrylic Paint.

I added some texture using Kassa's stencil and once the Texture Paste was completely dry I added further touches of acrylic paint.

I love the shading from the Night Acrylic Paint, a colour I am often afraid to use but I am really pleased with the combination here.

A touch of background stamping and random staples added to my flower stems along with delicate splatters of white paint complete my design.

Artful Blooms

Welcome, today I have a card for you using my A6 Natures Garden stamp set, combined with my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp from AALLandCreate, with a touch of stencilling using Kassa's stencil. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.

I created a background using my A4 Layered Grunge stamp, inking the stamp with Distress Oxides Candied Apple and Faded Jeans.

I added a touch of stencilling to the background using Kassa's stencil, which adds a touch of texture to my backdrop.

I coloured a piece of card with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink and then stamped my flower heads onto the coloured card, cut out and added to my background.

I added a few delicate splatters of black paint and also added my 'garden' sentiment.

A touch of hand stitching adds further texture to my design.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Below are the stamps and stencil I used in this project.

Natures Garden

Hi and welcome to my weekly post for AALLandCreate.

This week I am showcasing my flowers from my Natures Garden Set which you can purchase from our stockist using the link HERE. All our other releases can be found in the AALLandCreate Boutique.

I began by creating my accordion cutting a piece of white 350gsm card stock 4 inches in width and 9" in length scoring at 3" and 6" to create the accordion.

To create the background I used Dina Wakley's Acrylic Paints beginning with a first layer of Olive, which I brayered lightly over the background. I then added light touches of Sedona and Peacock to give a couple more layers of interest and depth to my design.

I used Autour de Mwa' s stencil, number #21 to add detail in the background. I applied Black Soot Distress Paint to the stencil, applying the ink directly from the inkpad; simply swipe the inkpad across the stencil, avoiding the edges of the stencil. Spritz the ink with water and then place the stencil, ink side down onto the background and dab the back of the stencil with a piece of kitchen towel. Remove the stencil and this gives you a lovely print.

I stamped my blooms onto the background of the card with Black Archival Ink and then stamped the image a second time onto a piece of scrap white card. I coloured one of the flower heads with Sedona Acrylic Paint to pick up the touches I used in the background, cut out the flower head and then added to my stamped image to add further dimension.

I added the sentiments from the set to the accordion and added some doodling around the edges of the accordion pieces to draw the eye in towards the focal image.

I then added a touch more stamping using the background stamp from the Natures Garden set, stamping with Sedona Paint. I then added all the accordion pieces to the accordion card.

I also did a Facebook Live showcasing this card and how to make it from start to finish. You can find that video HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
