Dream

Morning everyone, welcome. Today I have a card using my A4 Stamp Enjoy The Journey #321, which showcased on the weekend wow at the weekend on Hochanda.
This was one of my demonstration pieces for Hochanda, a nice simple classy card. I will be adding the videos to my YouTube Channel shortly.
I love the combination of the green and brown with the pop of white in the background. The feather looks like it is behind the embossing when in fact it is stamped on the top.
A touch of calico and metal frame complete the composition.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Protect Our Bees

Evening everyone, popping by with a sample I have created for my shows on Hochanda this weekend 26th, 27th and 28th June. Show times - 10am and 2pm ~Friday, 7am and 1pm Saturday and 10am and 2pm Sunday.  I have several stamp sets being showcased this time around and I have prepared 12 videos to be aired on Hochanda, hope you enjoy them.
I love creating pieces on a circular format and this piece was fun to make.
I love adding close up shots of my pieces as you really can see all the layers and detail.
I love adding the wood effect in the background, which I think works so effectively with the coordinated wood slice.
The bee on this set is a really good size and makes an impressive focal piece.
Touches of calico and cotton thread add further texture.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sculptured Pear

Evening everyone, today I have a mixed media canvas I created during a recent Facebook Live which showcases my newly released A4 stamp "Plant Your Dreams" #320 from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our Stockists HERE.
I was so thrilled with the way this piece turned out, I adore all the texture. You can follow the step by steps on the video below;


I hope you enjoy the video.
The close up photos really capture the detail on this piece, it is so tactile.
I love spending time adding litte details to create a cohesive design.

Honeybee Canvas

Morning everyone, today I have a mixed media project for you in a circular format, again created during a recent Facebook Live. You can find a list of our Stockists on the AALLandCreate website HERE.
This piece uses my newly released A4 Stamp "Plant Your Dreams" #320 combined with my "Honeybee" A5 Stamp #330 and A7 Stamp "Splattered Numbers" #350.


Once again the video goes through every step of the circular canvas in detail.
I love all the layered elements on this piece, it is so tactile and uses the newly released Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Speckled Egg.
I have also added some delicate background stamping using my A7 Stamp "Heartfelt" #304 which I adore, giving a tone on tone effect.
The bee is a really good size so is perfect as a stand alone focal image.
The skin I created and the vintage peg really add some quirky touches to the design.
Thanks so much for stopping by.  Tracy x x

Strelitzia

Morning everyone, today I have a fresh bold card I created during a recent Facebook Live which showcases my newly released A4 stamp "Plant Your Dreams" #320 from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our Stockists HERE.
The video below will go into detail re the step by steps for this card.


The photos below show more details of the card.
I love the vibrancy of this card from the watercolours.
A few touches of white really make the focal image pop.
 I also incorporated some machine stitching for added texture and interest.
I also love the white embossing in the background which is still visible below all the layered elements.
The draw pull for me was the perfect finishing touch.

Salad Spinner Background

Morning everyone, hope you have all had a good weekend. Today I have a mixed media card I created during a recent Facebook Live which showcases my newly released A4 stamp "Plant Your Dreams" #320 from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of our Stockists HERE.
I was so pleased with the way this card turned out, using a fun technique with a salad spinner.


This was a fun technique and the backgrounds work so well.
I added layered strips of card to add further texture to my card and I have to say I love the effect.
I also love the deep embossing onto the pear, which adds wonderful texture to the design.
The background stamp on my A4 stamp is fast becoming a favourite, I love all the wording.
I also love adding paperclips over one of the letters, such an effective way to add a touch of dimension and a little quirky touch to your designs.
This closeup really shows the detail in that deep embossing.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy experimenting with this technique. Tracy x x

The video below takes you through the step by steps for this mixed media piece, I really enjoyed creating this one.


I hope you enjoy watching the video.
A few close ups so you can see all the textural elements.
I love the little frame I incorporated on this piece, it frames the pear wording beautifully.
The texture from the vintage beeswax is fabulous and I love the touches of white.
Touches of calico and texture from the embossing paste really add a wonderful element to the design. I used Olga's new stencil #91 Panache.
