Artsy Butterfly Card

Welcome, today I have a card using one of my favourite colour palettes, combining paints with my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp and my butterfly stamp set along with Olga's Patches Stamp Set all available from AALLandCreate stockists which you can find HERE.

 I love using these two colours together, turquoise and lime (Dina Wakley paints). I applied the paints to a Gelli Plate and then placed Autour de Mwa's stencil #30 onto the Plate, ensured good contact and then removed the stencil and placed a piece of white card and copier paper onto the Plate and took the print. I used both the copier paper piece and the white card prints for my background and they lined up beautifully and I was able to add dimension this way by adding black ink around the edges of the white card and lifting it a little from the copier paper print.

I added a wooden heart again which I stencilled some detail onto the background using the same stencil. I coloured the heart with the same paints and then applied Black Archival Ink over the stencil. My butterfly takes centre stage on the heart.

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

I incorported one of Tim Holtz metal embellishments to the centre of my butterfly for added dimension and also added some delicate splatters of red paint. I also added some stamping to the butterfly wing, again using my A4 Stamp.

I included a couple of Tim Holtz Index Clip for a further element of interest.

I adore all the layers on this card and my trademark cotton threads add even further texture to the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. The stamps and stencil I incorporated in this design 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.

Artful Bloom

Hi and welcome, today I have a card showcasing a couple of my stamps from AALLandCreate, my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp and my Natures Garden Stamp Set. A list of stockists can be found HERE.

I began by adding Distress Oxide Inks to my background, beginning with Squeezed Lemonade, swiping the inkpad across my non-stick craft sheet, spritzing with water and then mopping up the beads of ink with my card. I repeated the same process with Picked Raspberry. I repeated this process a couple of times until I was happy with my background and then dried with a heat tool.

I then inked my A4 Layered Grunge stamp with Black Archival Ink and then stamped ART onto the inked background. I added some white highlights with a white gel pen.

I added one of my flowers to the background and also added more layered stamping using my A4 stamp set. I also incorporated a wooden heart for added dimension.

Some delicate white splatters of paint lift the whole design.

I added a touch of stitching, adding a cross stitch to the stem of my flower. This adds further texture to the design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Below are the stamp sets used in my card.

DREAM

I am really enjoying creating cavases at the moment so today I have indulged in yet another using my stamps from AALLandCreate.  A list of stockists can be found HERE.

I really love the colours on this canvas, Bugg and Sedona from Dina Wakley, the colours combine beautifully. I wiped back some of the paint to add an aged feel to my piece.

I stamped DREAM onto a piece of Tissue, using my A4 Layered Grunge Stamp, adore this lettering. I also incorporated some of the numbers from the same stamp.

I added a bisque face to my piece which gives a really bold statement, combined with my stamps. Silence is torn from a book page. I also added some rusty wire wrapped around my face.

I stamped onto the face, once again using my A4 Stamp and also added touches of paiint to the face, applying the paint with my finger. I added the face to the canvas, adding cheesecloth behind for added texture.

I also added some stamping and stencilling to the side of my canvas.

A couple of metal embellishments from Tim Holtz add an industrial element to my design.

As this canvas has a good depth, I loved adding stamped elements to the sides along with some texture using Paste and stencils.

I also incorporated some delicate splatters of Sedona paint to the canvas.

Below are the products used in this canvas.

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.
