Sketched Happiness

Today I am showcasing my newly released A6 Stamp, Sketched Happiness #177 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.

There is something about red in a design, I love how it pops agains an inky or painted backdrop. Here I have created a brayered background, adding lots of layers of paint to give depth to the background.

A touch of stencilling in the background adds further layres of interest along with some delicate splatters of white paint.

I stamped the flowers onto a red painted background, cut them out and then added them to my card, adding a couple of stitched threads to act as stems.

I cut out two pots and added the sentiment 'Happiness' which I stapled into place. I added two gold beads to the centre of my flowers for added interest and dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Bold and Beautiful

Today I am showcasing my newly released A6 Stamp, Sketched Happiness #177 combined with my older A6 stamp Doodled Blooms #140 from AALLandCreate. All the new products are available from our Stockists listed HERE.

I began by creating a background with Acrylic Paints, Cheddar, Ruby and Egg Plant, adding layers of colour to give depth to my design. I then placed Autour de Mwa's stencil over the top and wiped over the stencil with a baby wipe to remove some of the colour from the open areas on the stencil.

The majority of this card was created from leftovers remaining on my desk. I had a strip of card which I had added some acrylic paint to with my fingers and rather than bin it I used it in this piece as the colours fitted perfectly. I also incorporated some gold leaf flakes to give a touch of opulence and warmth to my piece.

I used the small hearts from my new stamp set and coloured each one with Acrylic Paints and then cut them out to add dimension to my piece. I also added a few delicate splatters of gold paint.
