Blooming Triangles

Hi everyone. I am back again this week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. This week the theme is Beautiful Blooms and I decided to create a journal page using a Stamp Set TS054 by Tracy Scott / PaperArtsy.  This set is made up of lots of patterned triangles - which I have used to create my large flower.

I also used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics - I love these as they dry very quickly and come in a fabulous range of colours! I mostly used 3 colours here:

I sponged my background before adding some interest through stencils and some stamping. I used Tracy Scott stencils - PS224 and PS242 and a further stamp set TS055.

I stamped the triangle several times on different coloured backgrounds and cut them out, layering up my 'bloom'. Finished off with some pen work using Posca and Sigma pens.

Gel plate Mash Up

 

Hi - a short one from me tonight - I am over at PaperArtsy sharing these cards for our stamp mash up blog theme!

Mixed Media Birthday cards

I'm delighted to back as a guest this month on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog. This week the theme is 'Mixed Media' with a focus on the products of Dina Wakely. 

I've created a couple of cards using Dina's paints, with one card featuring a Scribbly bird - an old, but go to stamp set!.

Both cards started with some texture paste applied through a couple of Tim Holtz circle stencils - I used Splotches and Bubble. I then added my paint in patches, merging a little or adding some white paint to tone down the 'joins. I used Turquoise, Fuscia, Tangerine and Ocean. Once dry I added some details with pen work, paint dots and lines (applied with an old credit card) and washi tape.

As my surface was textured I stamped the bird on tissue paper before adhering to the surface.

If you play along with this week's challenge at Simon Says stamp - you could win a $25 gift card to spend in store. I'll be back next week, for another challenge. Thanks for stopping by...
