I'd rather be in my garden than anywhere on earth

Welcome, today I have another card for you using my newly released Doodled Blooms #140. All the new release is available from AALLandCreate Stockists, a list of which you can find HERE.
I began by creating a background of colour using Dina Wakley Paints, Magenta and Tangerine, I love these two colours together, so bright and uplifting.
I then placed Autour de Mwa's stencil on the background and removed some of the paint from the open areas on the stencil with a babywipe.
I also added a monoprint to the background again using another of Autour de Mwa's stencils. I simply applied Distress Ink Black Soot directly to the stencil, spritzed with water and then placed the stencil ink side down onto my background.
I also included some skeleton leaves for added texture and also included the sentiment from my stamp set, which is perfect for me, being a keen gardener.
My flower takes centre stage, stamped onto a scrap of white card brayered with Magenta Acrylic Paint.
These are the products I have used in my card today.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Blossomed Numbers

Hi and welcome, today I have another project using my newly released A4 Stamp "Blossomed Numbers" from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our stockists HERE, simply scroll down for the list.
This time around I opted to combine my stamps with Eileen Hull's Passport die, which I adore.
I painted the Passport book with Black paint and then dry brushed white paint over the top, adding stencilling in the background for added texture.
I opted for a simple colour scheme so that the flower could take centre stage. I wrapped the flower around the binding and added a dome to the centre for added dimension.
I added a month to the centre of my flower using my "Date it" Stamp Set along with a red heart. I also included some rusty tin wire for added interest.
The red splatters echo the red in the heart on the centre of the flower. I also added some machine stitching to the flower.
The texture from the stencil has shown up perfectly with the dry brushing, I love how this turned out.
I added a further dome to highlight the Blossom along with some touches of cheesecloth for added texture.
I can see me using this stamp quite a lot in the next few weeks.
I also added domes to the back of my Passport Book to coordinate with the front.
The products used in my creation today are listed below:

Eclectic Silhouette for AALLandCreate

Welcome, today I am delighted to be sharing with you another creation using my newly released "Eclectic Silhouette" A4 stamp from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available on preorder from our stockists which you can find HERE.
I hope you like this stamp as much as me, I am absolutely delighted with how this turned out and there are so many possibilities.
I opted to create a card using the top detail from the stamp this time around.
I stamped the imagery onto white card and kept the background predominantly black and white and then added pops of colour to some of the elements.
The silhouette could be used on its own and so could the other elements within the stamp design.
I opted for Tangerine and Magenta for my colour palette and I am delighted with the pops of colour against the black and white background.
There is so much detail on this stamp and the silhouette has a couple of words and musical notes inside the body.
I added some vellum sentiments to give a touch more interest and to give the card further texture and also included some delicate splatters of Magenta Paint.
A jigsaw piece has been included for further dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Field Notes

Welcome to my weekly post for AALLandCreate and today is a very special post as today I can showcase one of my designs using one of my new releases. You can find a list of our stockists HERE.
I have decorated a passport book using my new A4 stamp Numbered Botanical which I have to say I am absolutely delighted with. The detail is truly amazing and so many possibilites. This time around I combined my stamps with Eileen Hull's Passport Die.
I have added the stamped design to both front and back cover and the spine.
Touches of Lime paint to add just a hint of colour and I also incorporated vintage watch parts.
The watch rim highlights the detail on the fern a little further and I also incorporated some Remnant Rubs to the top of the watch glass piece.
I adore the background on this stamp and I can see me using it many times. A few delicate splatters of paint are added for further interest along with a vintage nail.
There are so many layers on this stamp and so many possibilities.
I hope you enjoy my first showcase of one of my new releases. I also incorporated my Date It Stamp to add a touch more detail to the cover.

The stamps used in my project today are shown below:

New Release AALL&Create - Tracy Evans

Hi everyone and welcome to a very special post. Today marks the release of another new range from AALLandCreate and I am delighted to have 7 stamp sets this time around.

I need to send a huge THANK YOU to Autour de Mwa and Olga without whose help none of this would be possible.

I will begin by showing you a card I have made with one of my new sets "Doodled Blooms" this is going to be a Make and Take at Ally Pally show this weekend, so if you are going on either Saturday or Sunday I would love to see you, pop by and say hi.
A few close ups so you can see all the layers in the design. I won't go into too much detail so that if you are coming to the show you can perhaps pop by and make this little card alongside me.
I have added lots of layers and I am absolutely delighted with this flower from my "Doodled Blooms" stamp set. Being a keen gardener this really has lots of potential for me.
Of course I had to incorporate a vintage nail somewhere into my design.
From this picture you can really see all the layers I have incorporated.
Hope you like my first sample showcasing one of the new designs.

Below are all my new stamps from this release.



We are also delighted to have some acrylic blocks with this release perfect for our Border and A4 stamps. These acrylic blocks have some flexibility too so that you can be sure of a good print impression, especially in the central areas of the stamp. I can highly recommend these.

If you would like to order any of the stamps, they are now available on pre order from our stockists, which you can find listed HERE.
