Mixed Media Embroidery Hoop - Flower Heads

Welcome, today I have an altered embroidery hoop for you. I used my A4 Layered Grunge stamp set from AALLandCreate, combined with my A6 Quirky Blossoms Stamp Set. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.

I love altering embroidery hoops, a real alternative to obvious substrates and they are fun to decorate too.

I stamped my Layered Grunge stamp in its entirety onto a piece of white card using Distress Oxide Inks Candied Apple and Faded Jeans. I used my Misti Stamping Platform for this to ensure I had a good impression and it worked beautifully.

I added the stamped background to my embroidery hoop and then stamped my Quirky Blossoms onto a piece of card coloured with Distress Oxide Ink. I then adhered the flowers to the background and added the quirky faces to the top of the flowers, hence the title Flower Heads.

I added some delicate splatters of paint to the background and from this picture you can see the two tone stamping.

The hoop itself was painted with Gesso and then a coat of Distress Paint. I also added some background stamping, again using my A4 Layered Grunge stamp and also incorporated some delicate splatters of paint to coordinate with the background.

The background stamping has also had a layer of clear embossing powder applied for added texture.

The clay heads themselves have been painted with Distress Paints and wiped back to give a vintage feel.

Some cotton threads complete my piece.

Below are the products used in this piece.

Blossom Card

Welcome to todays blog post. I have created a card today using my Quirky Blossoms stamp set from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our stockists HERE, simply scroll down.

I opted for Kraft card today, I love the natural feel it gives to a design and here it showcases my Quirky Blossoms perfectly.

I added a layer to my background using Autour de Mwa's stencil number #30, applying Distress Oxide Ink directly to the stencil, spritzing with water and then placing the stencil ink side down onto my painted backdrop.

The Turquoise paint applied in the background around the edges was applied with my fingers. I also added dots of white paint using a small ball tool, dipping the tool into my paint and adding the dots around the outside edge.

I added a touch of dimension to my flower and also included some cotton threads for added texture. I also doodled some lines around the outside edge of my design.

I added some delicate splatters of white paint and some scratchy paint lines using an old credit card. I also included some touches of white to my flower using a white gel pen. I also included months using my Date It samp set, stamping onto white card with Vermillion Archival Ink.

These are my stamp sets used this time around.

Grow, Bloom and Blossom Accordion for AALLandCreate

Hi everyone and welcome. Today I have an accordion card for you using my Quirky Blossoms Stamp Set and my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our stockists HERE, simply scroll down.

I am loving using green at the moment, the colour is so fresh and gives such a different look to the stamps. I began by brayering a layer of Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint Distress Paints to the background of each panel and then dried each panel with a heat tool.

I added a touch of background stamping using my A4 Stamp, Layered Grunge. I stamped with Leaf Green Archival Ink, I love the tone on tone this gives and the numbers are so versatile on this stamp.

I stamped the Quirky Blossoms on the background of each panel using Black Archival Ink and then stamped the flower head once again to add dimension to my design. I stamped the flower heads onto a piece of card coloured with Distress Paints and stamped randomly with my A4 Stamp, this gives a touch more detail to the open areas of my flower head.

I twisted the flower head slightly so that the stamping below is still visible. I also added some Media Tape by Dina Wakley stamped with my sentiments from the same stamp set. I also added a button to the centre of each bloom for added interest.

I added more random background stamping using my A4 Stamp and Leaf Green Archival Ink, I love the detail in this stamp.

I had some edgeing from a watercolour pad on my desk so I also included these random pieces in my design.

I also added some delicate splatters of white paint to my design and added some wired leaves for added dimension.

I doodled some lines around each panel to draw the eye in towards my focal imagery.

I also included some stencilled panels on the back of my accordion using Autour de Mwa's stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Grow and Bloom

Hello everyone and welcome, today I  have a post showcasing my Quirky Blossoms stamp set from AALLandCreate.

I adore this colour palette, so fresh and uplifting. I used Dina Wakley's Heavy Body Acrylics, brayered layer by layer onto the background adding only a light touch with each layer.

The new release is available from our stockists which you can find using the link HERE.

Once I had added layers of turquoise, lime, magenta and tangerine to my background I then stamped my quirky Blossom onto the background with black Archival Ink. I then added a touch more turquoise paint around the edges of the focal image, applying with my finger and blending the paint around the blossom.

I added a touch of stencilling to my design using Autour de Mwa's stencil, applying Black Soot Distress Ink to the stencil, spritzing with water and then placing the stencil ink side down onto the background and dabbing the back of the stencil with a piece of kitchen towel to ensure good contactg with the card base. I then removed the stencil and dried the ink with a heat tool.

I added some hand stitching to add texture to my design and added sentiment inside the Bloossoms.

I also added some splatters of magenta paint to add a further layer of interest along with some circles of white paint added with a paint lid to give further interest.

I added doodled lines to the outside edges of each panel. I love how each layer is visible in this design.

I really enjoyed creating this accordion and I am really pleased with the outcome.

The AALLandCreate stamps are available from the Boutique.

Dream in Flowers

Welcome to another post for AALLandCreate showcasing my Natures Garden stamp set.

I loved decorating this Etcetera tag adding lots of layered texture. I began by applying a random coat of Texture Paste to my tag and I then stamped my A4 stamp into the Texture Paste, spritzing my stamp with water first before stamping into the paste. Please remember to clean your stamp immediately with this technique. Once the paste was completely dry, I then applied a coat of Antique Linen Distress Paint to the surface and then dried with a heat tool. I then applied a second layer of paint, this time Vintage Photo Distress Paint, dried a little and then wiped back the paint with a baby wipe.

My A4 stamp set is available from our stockists listed HERE.

I cut out a circle from a remnant of fabric and frayed the edges and then stamped part of my A4 stamp onto the fabric using Acorn Archival Ink. I also added some delicate splatters of black paint and a story stick for added interest.

I stamped my flowers from my Natures Garden stamp set onto the same fabric, cut them out and then added to the bottom of my tag. This picture also highlights the wonderful texture in the background.

The fabric itself also adds further texture to the design.

I also added further stencilling to the background, adding texture paste over Autour de Mwa's stencil. I also added a scrabble tile for added dimension.

A vintage dip pen gives further dimension to the design. I also included some doodling to the edges of my tag with a black pen.

I added some of Dina Wakley's Media Tape and sstamped the text Grow onto the tape using the wording from my Quirky Blossoms stamp set.

I love mixing the stamps sets and using them all together in one cohesive design.

This piece really does have to be seen in real life to really appreciate the texture in the background.

The AALLandCreate stamp sets can be purchased from the Boutique.
