Vintage Dressform

Morning everyone, Happy New Year.

Today I am showcasing a mixed media card using my newly released A6 Stamp "Style It" #245, combined with my newly released border stamp "All Measured Up" # 235 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

Today I opted for a vintage feel but with a real freshness to the design. Vintage does not always have to mean dull you can add touches of white elements and it really lifts the design.

I stamped the vintage ruler in the background but stamped it without using an acrylic block to give a more random feel to the backdrop.

The background panel for the dressform is coloured with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and then splattered with a few drops of water, to add further to the aged feel of my design.

I stamped a couple of pieces onto white card to lift the design and I also incorporated some soft wire for added texture along with a wooden button and paperclip for added interest.

I also tore some of the edges of my focal piece, again to add to that aged feel of this piece.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Vintage Canvas

Morning everyone, hope you are enjoying your Christmas festivities. Today I am showcasing a mixed media canvas using my newly released A6 Stamp "Style It" #245, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I loved creating this canvas, just losing myself in creating lots of layers for a real tactile piece.

I began by applying lots of layers of vintage book pages and then colouring those pages with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. I then added a layer of crackle paste for further texture and interest.

An embroidery hoop seemed the perfect partner with the focal imagery, once again I coloured the hoop with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and added touches of Gold Wax for a metallic touch.

I incorporated some threads and soft metal wire for a further textural element. I also added dimension to my bodice.

A small twig heart and some coordinated stones finish the design.

I added a touch of colour to the crackle paste, applying Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the surface. I pressed my Ink onto a non-stick craft sheet, spritzed with water and then used a water brush to add a wash over the texture.
