You light up the room

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a journal spread. It's a little steampunky! 

Here's how I made these pages:

FIrst, I coloured the pages with Distress Oxide inks in Broken China, Speckled Egg and Antique Linen. I then used a blending tool with Ground Espresso and stencilled the coffee rings from #147 here and there. I also went around the pages with the same colour to frame the pages. 

Next I smooshed some of the Ground Espresso on my craft mat and added water for splatters.

Nest I did some stamping with sets #443 and #457 with the same Broken China Distress Oxide and some Versafine Clair Nocturne. 

Adding some pieces of washi tape. This is #106 Bolted Borders.

The image I used got stamped, coloured and cut out. I didn't bother with the text around it. 

Adding some ephemera from set #65.

The sentiment from set #47,

Lastly I used a graphite pencil and a blending stump to add some shading around the images and the areas where the washi tape and the ephemera are. It all looks a little 'dirty' now. 

I have used the following AALL & Create materials :

Ephemera #65 - Halo Haze by Bipasha Bk

Ephemera #47 - Laugh Lines by Autour De Mwa & Co

 Hi everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing another card for AALL & Create. 

Here is how I made it:

First I cut out a card with Die #34. I used 250 gsm card stock.

I then put washi tape all over. I used the #121 Blush Parcels tape. I love it ! The colours are amazing. 

Next I spent some time stamping these butterflies. I stamped them first with Versafine Clair in Morning Mist (grey) I then reinked with different colours Distress Oxide ink and spritzed with water. I then stamped over the top of the grey. I did use a stamping tool for positioning perfectly. 

Distress Oxide colours used: Dusty Concord, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Salvaged Patina, Broken China.

I toned down the background slightly with white acrylic paint, particularly where the butterflies were going to go. I do this so the focal images stand out more. I also added a tiny bit of stamping (sets #366 and #1110), not too much as I really liked this background.

Also added some rub-ons from set #12. 

Chose my sentiment from Ephemera set #47.

I then coloured a piece of card stock with Distress Oxide ink Dusty Concord with a blending tool and cut out the mat from the same die set #34. 

And here it is. I think it turned out nice and soft and feminine.

Making others happy

 Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create post I have made a Memory Dex card with a stamp set from the Circus Collection. These are two of my favourite products by AALL & Create! 

Here's how:

Starting off with cutting a card from Die set #50. I really like these Memory Dex cards. 

Next I coloured the card with a blending tool and Distress Oxide inks Dusty Concord, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron. Next I used stencil #171 with the same inks rubbed on it and spritzed with water, to print on the card. 

As always a little stamping too, this time with Versafine Clair Morning Mist and Nocturne. 

I also added some rub-ons from sets #8 and #12. 

I wanted to use the little Pierrot, so I stamped him, then coloured him with Copic Markers. I tried to keep him very light. 

Here is the whole card. I forgot I also used a few pieces of Washi tape #58, one piece for him to stand on and two other bits for more interest.

A new era of imagination

 Hello everyone,

For today's AALL & Create project I have made a postcard. I cut it by hand this time. 

Here is how I made this:

First I coloured the card stock with Distress Oxide inks - Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Kitsch Flamingo. I used a blending tool for this. I then rolled over some white acrylic paint with a brayer. 

After this dried I added some stamping with set #568 and heat embossed it with white powder.

Next more stamping with set #457 and Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. 

Next I added some stencilling with stencil #110 and Black Soot Distress Oxide. 

I chose this camera from set #1225 by Bipasha as my focal point. I stamped it with Copic Friendly ink. 

And because the card wasn't busy enough :o) I added some rub-ons from set #10 too. Only a few tiny bits though...

Next washi tape. I used #96 Sugar Roll by Bipasha which is a layering washi. I just tore some pieces of and used it as an 'ordinary' washi tape ie. to ground things on and to add more interest. 

Here is the card, all put together. These images easily used on a vintage card but I thought it would be nice with bright colours too. I think it worked ! 

I have used:

Washi tape #96 - Sugar Roll by Bipasha Bk

Stencil #110 - Digits Checked by Bipasha Bk

Rub-ons #10 - Red Red Wine by Autour De Mwa & Co
