Bird Collage

 Morning everyone, today I have a simple Christmas Card using my Pinecone stamp set #389.

I created this piece on a Facebook Live and you can catch the video on replay below:

I will add some close up shots below.

This is the inside of my card to coordinate perfectly with the front of the card.

Christmas Bauble

 Morning everyone, today I have a variation on a theme from Friday's card.

Once again I have used my Washi Tapes to create a simple Christmas Card combined with my Bird Song Stamp Set.

I also incorporated some Distress Oxide Ink in the background to combine with the red from the berries and my Washi Tape.

The bird from my Bird Song Stamp Set sits perfectly within the design.

I also used my Grungy Alphabet to add the text NOEL to the design. I added a touch of shading around the baubles to make them pop and added further to the Christmas theme with some Mica Flakes.

Washi Tape Christmas Tree

 Hello everyone, today I have a Christmas card for you, something for those last minute makes.

I love how this card turned out, just using Washi Tape and a touch of stamping from my Ephemera Digists Stamp Set.




Some touches of mica flakes really add to the festive feel along with the touches of red.

Beetle Mixed Media Tray

 Morning everyone, today I have a mixed media piece showcasing my A4 Stamp Set Winged Bugs.

I love all the detail on this piece and mixing a vintage spool into the mix.





This piece encompasses everything I love, layers, texture, dimension and quirky elements too. It is a piece I thoroughly enjoyed making and I hope you enjoy the close up pictures.

Have a lovely week and see you Friday back on the blog.

Beauty All Around Us

 Morning everyone, today I have a card showcasing my newly released A5 Stamp Set Wire Birds #394.

I began by creating a background using Speckled Egg, Peeled Paint and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks. I simply swiped the inkpads lightly across the background.

I added touches of black stamping around the edges of my card to draw the eye into the focal image.

The black Washi Tape also helps to draw the eye into the focal image.

I added dimension to the bird and added some shading around the outside edge to make the image pop.

The added twigs and lollipop stick add further dimension to my design along with a quirky element. I also included some background stamping for further interest.

Thank so much for stopping by. Tracy x x 



Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
