On Dragonfly Wings

Today I am showcasing a mixed media piece using my A4Stamp "On Dragonfly Wings" #230, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I absolutely loved creating this pleased and I am so pleased with the outcome. I created this piece during a Facebook Live and you can rewatch that video below.

Hope you enjoy the process of this piece.

I love creating with different colours and this time around I opted for Lime and Elephant Acrylic Paints by Dina Wakley and I adore the blend of colour.

Adding shading to the base of each of the circles really adds wonderful dimension to this piece and makes those circles pop.

Lolipop sticks add dimension along with a wood slice from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Range.

I also added dimension to the dragonfly wings along with some added wire for further texture.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Tracy x x x

Dragonfly

Today I am showcasing a mixed media card using my newly released A4Stamp "On Dragonfly Wings" #230, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

My background has been created on my Gel Press using PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in Sour Grapes, Sugar Plum and Lake Winaka. I applied Sour Grapes and Sugar Plum to my Gel press first and then lay down the Lotza Dotz Stencil onto the Gel press to achieve a print, removed the stencil and then repeated. I then placed my white card onto the Gel Press to take a print.

For my second layer, to add more depth, I added light touches of Lake Winaka to my Gel Press and then lightly dabbed my card onto the paint, this adds light touches of a contrasting colour in the background, also bringing depth to the design.

I placed the Lotza Dotz Stencil back onto the Gel Press and then brayered Lake Winaka Paint over the stencil, leaving the stencil in place I then pressed my background piece onto the stencil. I repeated this process twice.

Once you have finished layering paint you can then take a second, clean up print, by applying Chalk Paint or any light colour across the Gel Press, just a light layer and then press the card onto the Gel Press, pressing firmly and then remove card. This is often the best print for me.

I added a touch of background stamping using the number stamp from my "Brush Flower" Border Stamp, I love this stamp, so useful for adding background touches.

Hand stitching has been added to give further texture along with a circular piece of black twine, stapled into place.

I also added some Art Pebbles for further dimension and I also incorporated some white circles of paint and delicate splatters.

On Dragonfly Wings

Today I am showcasing a mixed media card using my newly released A4Stamp "On Dragonfly Wings" #230, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I am so thrilled with the way my A4 stamp turned out, the detail is fantastic and just as I had planned. I have added my dragonfly, this time around, to a mixed media background using a clean up piece from my Gel Press.

I added three layers to the wings for added dimension, trapping cotton threads behind for added texture. I also added clear embossing powder to the wings for a further texture.

The background reminds me of worn wall paper and I love how the layers are all visible with also touches of white space.

I incorporated some hand stitching and also further touches of white with painty circles and splatters of white paint.

A circular piece of wire stapled into place and touches of metal along with stamped calico add further interest to my design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x x
