Simple Book Idea

Afternoon everyone, hope you are all well. Today I am showcasing a simple book I have created for an on-line workshop which is prerecorded.

I really enjoyed creating this, I loved the process and I love the paired back feel.

This is a prerecorded workshop, if you would like to join the workshop, please feel free to email me at tracy@craft-addicts.co.uk.

 

I love the paired back feel of this piece

The grey and pink work so well together.

These are simple techniques but work so well to create a cohesive design.

At the moment I am really enjoying adding paperdolls to my creations.

Fungus Accordion

I have opted for an accordion card this time around, I love creating accordions, they offer so much opportunity for adding lots of layers. My design offers a clean and simple approch to a background on this occasion. I have showcased my newly released Border Stamp "Fungus" #275 along with my newly released Border Stamp "Knibs and Mushrooms" #276 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

I love the freshness to this accordion, simple layers that still draw the eye into the design.

For the middle panel I simply applied Acrylic Paints over the Profusion Stencil, adding just a touch of detail to the background. I then stamped the nibs on top of the stencilled layer. I also added a touch of background stamping using my A7 Stamp Set "Heartfelt" #304.

I have also incorporated some wooden banners for added interest and dimension along with some torn bookpages.

On one of my other panels I brayered a simple layer of paint and then stamped the Fungus onto the brayered layer and also incorporated some background stamping.

Each panel also had some delicate splatters of black paint, only light layers so that we do not overpower the freshness of the design.

Toadstool Plaque

I created this piece during one of my One Day Special shows. I love adding book pages and lots of layers to my designs and this piece showcases that perfectly. I have used my newly released Border Stamp "fungus" #275 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

The addition of the book pages to this piece really lift the design and add a different element along with further layers.

I began by layering Lime and Elephant Acrylic Paints from Dina Wakley, brayering the paints on in layers and I then placed circular apertures onto my card and then wiped over to remove some of the paint with a babywipe. This gives me circular spotlights in the background. I also added a touch of shading to each of the spotlights using a grey Inktense Pencil.

I also added a touch of background stamping using my A4 Stamp "Nature Elements" #267, I adore the background details on this stamp and it is so versatile. You can use the whole stamp or parts of the background as I have done here.

I added a strip of card across my plaque and stamped the Toadstool sentiment, adding a mini paperclip for added interest.

I also added a mini bulldog clip for added interest and added a pen nib, wrapped in wire. I love these little touches they add so much to a piece.

Fungus

This card has a real delicate feel, just what I was trying to achieve for my Toadstool image.  I was absolutely delighted with the way this stamp turned out, I adore the detail and background elements. My card showcases my new Border Stamp "Fungus" #275 from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

For my background this time around I lightly brayered Honey Dew and Byzantium Fresco Finish Paints across my background, using only a light touch to add the paint layers.

I adore the subtle background stamping using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks and my A7 Background Stamp "Heartfelt" #304, I adore this stamp, its so versatile.

I also incorporated a small tag, with the wording Art added, adding a touch of shading to the outside edges so that it coordinates with the background in my card.

The sentiment and art text are from my A5 stamp set "Thankful Petals" #272.

Fungus

Today I am showcasing a mixed media card using my newly released Border Stamp "Fungus" #275, from AALLandCreate. Our stockists can be found HERE.

This time around I have created a mixed media background with paints and inks. I added paints to my Gel Press and then took a print and then added further dimension by adding inks, applying the inks to my Non-Stick Craft Sheet and then spritzing with water and mopping up the beads of ink. The layer of paint and inks really adds depth to the design.

I added a touch of stamping to a piece of calico along with the 'art' sentiment from my newly released A6 Stamp Set "Happiness and Nature" #281, repeating the stamping three times onto a strip of card.

I have also added some delicate background stamping using my newly released A7 Stamp "Heartfelt" #304. I also included some doodles around the edges of my card to draw the eye into the focal image. To complete, I have added some delicate splatters of white paint.
