Follow Your Heart

Hi and welcome, today I have a post showcasing one of my stamp designs from AALLandCreate.

Today I am using my hearts from stamp set 46 which you can find HERE.

I began by adding a layer of Cheddar Acrylic Paint to my white card, applied with a piece of Cut 'n' Dry Foam, I then used Kassa's stencil and a baby wipe and wiped away some of the paint by wiping the baby wipe over the stencil. You can see this layer in the background.

I then brayered a light layer of turquoise and Fuchsia Paint over the top to give further layers of interest.

This picture shows the layers in far more detail.

I then added some background stamping using my border stamp number 34 which you can find HERE.

I stamped the hearts onto the background and then stamped the hearts a second time onto painted backgrounds, cut out each heart and then added some clear embossing powder, adding beads into the melted powder for added texture.

I added some cotton threads behind for a further layer of interest and to give a more tactile feel to my card.

 I love how all the layers are visible and that all the stamps work so beautifully together.

I will have more news for you very shortly, I will be showcasing my next new release with AALLandCreate very soon, so stay tuned.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all your support. Tracy x x

Embrace Imperfection

Morning and welcome to today's post showcasing another one of my make and takes from the Ally Pally Show.

I began by adding layers of Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylics to a piece of white card, beginning with Turquoise, Lime and then adding touches of Cheddar and Fuchsia.

I stamped the hearts onto the brayered backdrop and then added further dimension to the hearts.

I used my border stamp for this card which is available to purchase HERE.

I love the layers of paint in the background. I also added some delicate splatters of black paint as a contrast.

I added the sentiment Embrace Imperfection from my set HERE.

I love using hearts in my artwork so this is one of my favourite sets to work with.

I also added some scratchy paint lines using an old credit card for further interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Stand Out From The Crown

Hi and welcome, today I have another one of my make and take pieces from Ally Pally.

This time around I used my border stamps which you can find HERE.

I used both of my stamps on this piece.

I began by adding a layer of Dina Wakley's Cheddar Paint across my card, applying with a piece of Cut 'n' Dry Foam, and completely covering the card. Whilst the paint was still wet I then used Kassa's stencil and used a babywipe to remove some of the colour, giving me a resist type look to the background. I then lightly brayered Fuchsia and Turquoise paint for a further two layers.

In this picture you can see all the layers of paint and the stencil used in the background along with the numbers from Fiona's stamp set stamped with Fuchsia paint.

I stamped my circles with Black Archival Ink and then added some white highlights to lift the design.
I also added some delicate splatters of white paint.

I scribbled some stems to my circles to create flowers and added some white highlights down the stems. I also added the sentiment Stand Out From The Crowd which you can find HERE.

I love mixing my stamp sets to add different elements to my designs.

I then stamped a couple more of the circles onto painted card and added some of the circles for added dimension.

I love how all the layers are visible and add so much interest to the background.

Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light

Hi everyone, I am back today with a card using my stamps from AALLandCreate. The new releases are all available from our list of stockists HERE. Alternatively you can find them direct from the AALLandCreate BOUTIQUE, simply scroll down.

This time around I have created an accordion card using my quirky flower stamps. I created the accordion from white card and then cut panels to fit.

I applied Dina Wakley's Cheddar Acrylic Paint to each panel, applying the paint with a piece of Cut'n' Dry Foam. I dried this layer with my heat tool. I then applied a layer of Fuchsia Acrylic Paint to some scrap card and then lightly pressed the card onto the background to just add highlights of the colour. I then brayered Turquoise paint very lightly over the background on each panel. I love this sentiment on my quirky stamp set.

I stamped my quirky flowers onto each panel and then I coloured scrap pieces of card with Acrylic Paint and then stamped my quirky flower heads onto the card and then cut them out and added to each panel.

A few delicate splatters of white Posca Paint Pen lift the design.

I also added some paint circles to each panel along with some doodles around the outside edges of the panels.

I added some background stamping using my doodle background stamp.

I love how all the layers are visible and add so much texture to the background.

 I love making accordion cards and these quirky flower stamps work beautifully.

This is my stamp set used this time around.

With Brave Wings She Flies

Hi everyone, I am back today with a card using my stamps from AALLandCreate. The new releases are all available from our list of stockists HERE. Alternatively you can find them direct from the AALLandCreate BOUTIQUE, simply scroll down.

I began by applying Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylics onto my Gelli Plate and I then used my quirky flower stamp and stamped the imagery onto the Plate and then placed a piece of white card onto the Plate and took a print.

I also added some tone on tone stamping using the same flower stamp and Distress Oxide Inks.

I stamped my butterflies onto watercolour card using Black Archival Ink and then used watercolours to add some colour to the wings.

I added two butterflies and added cotton threads behind for added texture. I also included some delicate splatters of red paint. Each butterfly also has a vintage pen nib added for their body.

I stamped the sentiment onto white card and also added some black dots around the outside edges of my card for a further little detail.

I love how all my stamps work so well together.

These are the two stamp sets I used in today's card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a lovely weekend. Tracy x x

Stand Out From The Crowd

Hi everyone, I am back today with a card using my stamps from AALLandCreate. The new releases are all available from our list of stockists HERE. Alternatively you can find them direct from the AALLandCreate BOUTIQUE, simply scroll down.

I am using the wonderful paints from  Dina Wakley once again Cheddar, Fuchsia, Turquoise and Ruby.

I painted the background of my card with Cheddar Acrylic Paint, applying with a piece of Cut 'n' Dry Foam and I then tore a heart from scrap paper to create a stencil and then applied Turquoise and Ruby Paint around the outside edges of my handmade stencil. I then added the same paints to a piece of scrap card and then pressed the card lightly onto the background to give a monoprint of paint within each heart.

I coloured some scrap pieces of card with Acrylic Paint and then stamped my quirky flower onto the painted backgrounds and then cut out each one. I also added one image in black and white.

A few delicate splatters of Turquoise and Fuchsia Paints add another layer of interest.

I added my sentiment, one of my favourites, to the bottom of the flowers.

I added a matt of Turquoise painted card to the background.

This is my stamp set I used this time around.
