Happy Halloween

I created this project just for fun and to say Happy Halloween.

This was fun to create and I adore this skull, it is one of my favourite moulds.

Lots of dry brushing to bring depth to my design.

Red flowers which I coloured with Distress Inks. These flowers are from Tim Holtz Idea-ology line.

My substrate is a Tim Holtz Etcetera Tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Halloween.

Don't Forget To Fly

Welcome today I have a little book for you decorated using my Butterfly stamp from AALLandCreate. You can find the stamp HERE.

I recently had a play day at my lovely friend Anne Redfern's house along with Rita and Annie and it was an absolutely fantastic day to just spend time with like-minded creatives. I started the covers of this book at Anne's house and then continued with the process once I arrived home. Eileen Hull's Passport Book is one of my favourite dies and has so many possibilites when combined with different mediums.

I painted my covers and also incorporated lots of texture to create a wonderfully tactile piece.

I also incorporated added texture, applying Texture Paste over Autour de Mwa's stencil #28 Broken Circle which you can find HERE.

I stamped my butterfly image onto music paper and then applied Seth Apter's Baked Texture Vintage Beeswax over the wings, adding several layers for added texture. I also applied some delicate touches of gold with Pebeo Wax.

I also incorporated an ATC Coin to give further dimension along with some rusty tin wire and some jump rings added randomly to the background. The focal piece is backed onto a piece of torn music paper.

The products used in ths piece are shown below:

Embrace The Journey

Back to a piece of vintage this time around with an Etcetera Tag using my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp, my Border Stamp which you can find HERE and my butterfly stamp which you can find HERE. All available from our stockists listed on the AALLandCreate website HERE.

I began by applying a layer of Gesso and then a random layer of Crackle Paste and allowed the Crackle Paste to dry naturally. I then layered Distress Paints to give a vintage feel to my tag. I applied Distress Crayon around the edges to age further.

I added a wooden heart which I covered randomly with Texture Paste and again allowed to dry naturally. I stamped my butterfly onto vintage music pages and also incorporated a rusty nail for added dimension.

Cotton threads add further texture to the design. I also incorporated a Tim Holtz Frame along with my sentiment from the butterfly stamp set.

I added some background stamping using my Border and A4 Stamps.

I painted the frame with Tumbled Glass Distress Paint and then added some wax to highlight the detail.

Delicate splatters of black and white paint offer further layers of interest. Loving the random layer of crackle.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Below are the stamps used in my tag.

Trust Your Wings

Welcome, today I have a canvas showcasing my stamps from AALLandCreate. A list of stockists is available HERE.

I opted to return to my love of all things vintage this time around. I began by applying Texture Paste randomly to my canvas and then applying Paste once again over Carol and Co's stencil #23. This double layer of Paste really adds wonderful texture and dimension to the piece.

I stamped my butterfly into a piece of air drying clay and then aged with paints, I love how the detail is still visible when stamped into clay.

I also added some clay faces to my piece to add further interest. My canvas has been painted with Dina Wakley Buff Paint along with highlights of Frayed Burlap Distress Paint to age.

I added cotton threads and a rusty nail for added texture. I also incorporated a sentiment from my butterfly stamp set.

I added some layered stamping using my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp along with Olga's Patches Stamp Set.

I continued to add more layered stamping and also incorporated some delicate splatters of white paint.

I added a touch of stamping to the side of my canvas and aged the edges further with a Distress Crayon.

Each of my clay pieces has been aged with Ground Espresso Distress Paint.

Below are the products used in this canvas.

The butterfly stamp can be purchased HERE.

Today Is Full Of Possibilities

Welcome, today I have a post showcasing my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp from AALLandCreate. You can find a list of stockists in the Boutique HERE.

I decorated an Etcetera Tag, these are a wonderful substrate to decorate and take so much medium without warping. I began by adding texture, applying Texture Paste to the background and then applying paint layers, in this case Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Paints. I love how the darker tone sits in the crevices of the Texture Paste.

I used Autour de Mwa's stencil #28, applying Texture Paste over the stencil, removing the stencil and whilst the Paste is still wet I then sprinkled Seth Apter's Dirty Sand Baked Texture over the top. I allowed the Paste to dry completely and then heated the Baked Texture. This gives my tag a wonderful tactile feel.

I am loving my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp, so many possibilites and here I used the stamp to add stamped layers to my tag.

There is so much detail on the A4 stamp, giving me so many possibilites for stamping different elements to the background.

I used a Prima Mould as my focal piece, adding rusty wire to the outside for added texture and interest. I coloured my clay piece with Dina Wakley's Buff Paint, dried with a heat tool and then applied a layer of Ground Espresso Distress Paint to the top, dried a little and then wiped the paint back to give a wonderful aged feel to my piece.

I really enjoyed creating this piece and I am pleased with the outcome.

These are the products used in my creative piece.

Be Authentic

Welcome, today I have a canvas for you. This was one of those projects that I got totally lost in creating, I just went with the flow and it was such a joy to do. I am showcasing my A4 Stamp, Layered Grunge, my A7 Stamp Set, Date It and my Butterfly Stamp Set all available from AALLandCreate. A list of our stockists are available HERE, simply scroll down.

I began by layering my texture and Kassa's stencil #18 was perfect for the background. I then began adding layers of paint and this time around I used Distress Paints Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint. I adore green.

I also added a vintage oil dropper to my piece which gives fantastic dimension and adds another element of interest to my design. My butterfly sat perfectly on the dropper and I also incorporated some stamping on the wings using my A4 stamp set.

I incorporated an mdf piece in the background, again to add wonderful dimension. Can you spot the little face, I couldn't resist but to use this in my piece, it was lying on my desk and I thought, why not!

Some wonderful random stamping in the background using my A4 Stamp Layered Grunge and my Date It Stamp Set.

I also incorporated some micro beads for added texture and some gears for added interest. I also added my trademark cotton threads for further texture.

Delicate white splatters echo the white on the butterfly.

I also added some stamped numbers using my Date It Stamp. I love adding vintage elements to my designs and I am so pleased with how this piece came together.

These are the stamps incorporated in my canvas.
