Owl Canvas

I have always loved using vintage tones in my artwork and this week I wanted to get back to everything I love, vintage colours, textural, organic piece and opted to create a canvas using my newly released A7 Stamp "Owl" #306 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I just love the natural feel to this. I began by creating a faux wood plank background and then adding colour with Distress Oxides Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs. I then brayered a touch of white paint across the background to lighten it a little and to give it a shabby feel.

The central piece is a wood slice, which I thought worked perfectly with the organic feel of this piece. I brayered some white paint across the wood slice to lighten a touch.

I added a touch of background stamping using my A4 Stamp "Nature Elements" #267, I love the numbers in the background.

I also incorporated the pen nibs, which I stamped with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink, I love this look.

I added a pen nib, stamped onto book pages onto the wood slice and I added some dimension to my owl, stamping twice and then wrapping the owl with some soft wire. I also added some book pages to my owl for added interest and texture. For further texture I also added my trademark cotton thread behind the wood slice.

Hoot Hoot

I love creating brayered backgrounds for my cards and this one was just a scrap piece of card that I brayered my excess paint onto. This piece showcases my A7 Stamp Sets  "Owl" #306 and "Hoot Hoot" #305 from my new collection, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

To tone down my background a little I also brayered some Snowflake Fresco Finish Paint over the top.

I stamped the owls onto a second brayered piece of card and cut out to add further dimension to my design. I also grounded the owls with touches of paint using an old credit card.

I also added a touch of stamping with paint using Aqua Duck Egg Fresco Finish Paint.

I also incorporated a hinge clip for further interest and dimension. A few delicate splatters of paint also add further interest.

Owl

I love using my Gel Press at the moment to create backgrounds, I love the unexpected backgrounds you can achieve. This piece showcases my A7 Stamp Set  "Owl" #306 from my new collection, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

This background was a second generation print from my Gel Press and I love it, I love the random touches of colour.

I also made my own tape from cellotape which is a quirky little touch to my card along with some chicken wire from the garden for added texture.

I also incorporated some book pages for added interest along with some delicate splatters of black paint using a Posca Paint Pen.

I also added dimension to each owl, stamping them twice.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your support, I truly appreciate each message.
