A4 Stampscapes Covers

Hello

As mentioned earlier these are my grandest covers yet. They are A4 size and have been created in the same manner as the previous set.
I have again used Stampscapes images as they set the perfect scene.

I really enjoyed the process and I love these covers. I think I will have to make time to create some more.

Stampscapes Mixed Media Covers

Hello

These little books are the result of my experiments with a technique I had wanted to try. I had an idea of what I hoped to achieve and Stampscapes images were the natural choice.

I started with bare 6 x 6 chipboard covers and painted with a thin coat of gesso. When dry I added light layers of paint in sky and ground areas.

Images were stamped in archival ink on to tissue paper and roughly torn out around the edges.

Colour was added to the back of the images, using inks, paint or colour pencils.

The tissue paper images were then arranged on to the covers and stuck down with Multi Medium. 

When dry, additional colour was painted on and allowed to dry completely. 

An additional layer of multi medium was applied to seal the surfaces.

The tree trunk trio image was applied to the back covers of each book, and patterned paper to the inside of the covers. this was also sealed with multi medium.

A mixture of ruled and plain pages was added with plain card to separate the sections. The books were bound with rings to allow for addition or removal of pages.
I enjoyed making these covers and decided to get a little more adventurous in the next batch I created. That is a story for another post.

Thank you for visiting.

Stampscapes

Hello

Hope you are having a great day.

I love Stampscapes stamps and have a whole collection of them. I don't have enough time to play with them as often as I would like, so when I do, I stamp a whole lot of scenes, then colour them later.
These are the first cards from one of these sessions, and the stamps used for each one.

Card 1 features light rocks and waves, light beam, fog cliffs and waves, waves, cloud bar, gulls and fishing boat.

Card 2 uses light and mist, cloud with sun. gulls, rocks and waves and waves.

Card 3 is palms with huts, starbirth, rocky ledge, water pattern, palm duo, frond 2, frond 3, rocks in water and rowboat.
Card 4 has palms with huts, soft light, palm duo, water pattern, palm island, rowboat and gulls.

Images were all stamped with archival ink on to white gloss card, then coloured by sponging on distress inks. White gel pen was used to highlight sections. Panels were then sealed by smearing on and polishing off, distress glaze.

Image panels were matted on to white, then black card, then added to card bases. Gems were added to finish off the designs.

More to follow.

Sympathy Cards

Hello

Here are a couple of ideas for cards for the sad times.

The first card is a ivory base, layered with a patterned paper. The bird section of paper was cut, layered to additional ivory card then mounted over the base paper. The sentiment (from Kaszazz) was stamped and pearls added down the left. 

For the second card a background was stamped with Stampscapes stamps, the willow tree was then stamped. Shading was added with watercolour pencils. This panel was layered on to additional white card, then on to a white card base. A label was stamped and added and pearls applied.

The third card is Darkroom Door Gumtree and sentiment stamped in coloured ink on to white card. The shading is done with dye inks. This was added to a panel of ribbon wrapped white pearl card, then to a white card base. Pearls were added to corners.

Trees, nature images and peaceful scenes are suitable for these sad times.

Country

Hello

I have had this post sitting in my drafts for a while, so we will have a non Christmas bonus post for today.

This group of country themed cards was created with the guys in mind.

For this card I used paper and stamps from Kaszazz Australian collection.
The tractor was stamped with archival ink on to patterned paper, then masked.
The windmill was then stamped over the top.
The farm dog was stamped in black on to reddish coloured card then fussy cut and mounted in front.
Brads were added to the windmill centre and the top left corner, and the panel then layered on to brown card.

On this card I stamped the horse (Ink a dink a do) on to white card and then masked it.

The canyon and the eagle (Stampscapes) were then stamped over the top. The background was shaded with dye inks.

The image panel was layered on to blue card, brads added to the corners of the image panel, twine knotted across the lower section, and candy dots added to the lower right. The whole panel was fixed to a white card base.

These cards use the Country Livin stamp set from Stampin'up. The sentiment, tree and bird are stamps from Kaszazz.
The left card has washi tape (Kaszazz) placed across the top of patterned paper which was layered on to the green card base. The sentiment, boots and guitar were stamped on to card, fussy cut then mounted to the card. The second card has the ute stamped on white card, masked, and the tree and bird stamped on top. The background was coloured with dye inks, and the panel added to blue card.

A little inspiration for those country lovers you know.

African Animals - Darkroom Door

Hello

For these cards I have used stamps from Darkroom Door, and  Stampscapes, and dies from Find it Trading.

For this card I masked and coloured a white card panel with distress inks then stamped Stampscapes sun and branch with archival ink. Find it trading Wild animals were die cut and added on top. The panel was then attached to a coloured card base.

The above two cards were created in the same way with images from Darkroom Door African animals stamped, then sections of die cut Wild animals frame cut and attached.

This card was coloured and stamped and has the full die cut frame added.

Here, the background was coloured, the image stamped, then water added to the background to blot out some of the colour.
