Happy freaking everything

Hello everyone, 

I was very happy to be asked by Abs of AALL & Create to make some samples for the Creative World fair in Frankfurt in Germany which took place on 26th - 29th of January. I will share all of them in the near future. I hope you'll like these new released stamps by Olga Heldwein ! I will list all the stamps, old and new, under the photos. 

I love making 6 x 6 panels, they are not too big but have still lots of room for stamping, inking, stencilling etc. I started this one with dipping it into Distress Oxide inks. I used pink, yellow and a tiny bit of orange. I then used a stencil over the top with Clear modelling paste and also stamped the background. I stamped the cat and the sentiment, coloured the cat, cut both out and adhered them onto the panel. I did die cut a heart out of pattern paper to put under the cat because I thought he didn't stand out enough. 

I used the following stamps and stencil:

Stamp set #3 

Stamp set #58 Scribble it

Stamp set #171 Moody Kittens

Stencil #59 weathered tiles

Dare to be different

Hello everyone,

For this week's blogpost for AALL & Create I have made a trio of ATC's.

And here's how I made it :

I used a piece of watercolour paper for the ATC's. I cut it into cards after I coloured it with Distress Inks and added some Texture paste through a stencil. 

Here is the coloured card for the ATC's. I also made a base from card board, book pages and ink to mount the finished ATC's on. 

This lovely butterfly is going to be my focal point. I coloured it with the same Distress Oxides and a water brush. I glued the book paper onto some card stock before colouring and cutting it out to make it more sturdy. 

I added some stamping to the cards and here you can just see the texture paste I used. It is transparent but it gives a nice detail to the cards. 

Here you see everything finished. I used more book text and ribbon to add interest and I also used some metal wire behind the butterfly. 

Behind the cards on the board is a piece of silk, again to add interest. 

I have used the following stamps/stencil:

Stamp #80 - Lined

Stamp #45 - Butterfly

Stamp #6 Sentiments

Stencil #11
