Pattern Play Birthday cards

Hello again - it is my final week as guest on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. This weeks theme is Red, White and Blue. I have created some small birthday cards featuring another Tracy Scott / PaperArtsy stamp set - TS059

I used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics - Cherry Red, Midnight and Heavy Cream for my backgrounds and the base for my embossed hexagons.

I began with my gel plate adding one colour, stamping on the plate to remove paint or add it. For some I stamped the image directly onto the plate first - with paint - letting it dry before brayering paint over the top. I build my layered, organic prints like this.

Once I had a few backgrounds I cut them to size and created the patterned layers with archival ink. (Tracy Scott uses her geometric stamps to create 'Pattern Play')

With the remainer of the background, I stamped hexagons with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Thanks to the Simon Says Stamp team for inviting me to join them for June! Do, as always, check out the designs of the their design team - they are fabulously creative!

Vellum Flower Journal Page

Hi everyone. It's week 3 of my little adventure over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. This week the theme is 'We Can See Clearly'. I have used some of the newly released stamps and stencils from PaperArtsy by Tracy Scott (TS058 and TS055) and Alison Bomber (EAB21) to create this colourful journal page with Vellum flowers.

For my background I used lots of PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics - I used Slimed, Cerulean, Banana, Byzantium, Azure, Cerise, Chalk and Little Black Dress. I painted in colour 'patches' before adding additional stenciling and stamping to the background. (Stencils used PS224, PS242 and PS234.

I added a frame to feature my flowers and quote. The flowers are stamped on vellum with versamark and heat embossed in white.

If you play along with this week's challenge at Simon Says stamp - you could win a $25 gift card to spend in store.
