This is your day!!!

I'm entering this card for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. 

The theme is "Stamp On It".

I've used stamps from AALL & Create.

I've made the background using Oxide Inks, paints and lots of stamps. 

I stamped the sentiment and main image onto white tissue paper and then used a matte medium to adhere it to the background. To make it into a card I layered the main section onto contrasting card and then onto a blank white card.

Stamps: AALL & Create  #5, #23, #51 and #59

Inks: Distress Oxides - Tumbled glass, Seedless preserves & Pickled Raspberry

Decoart - Matte medium

AALL & Create meets Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

I'm really enjoying working with my new AALL & Create stamp sets they are such fun to work with. So I made a card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Their challenge this week is Stamp On It. 

So here's my card

I started off with a piece of white linen cardstock, just for more texture. For the background I gessoed an area with white gesso. I let that dry and then using modelling paste I stencilled through a splat stencil. I then radomly blended 3 shades of Oxide Inks over the gessoed area.  

I then blended the same inks over a large piece of coated board and stamped the images. I also added a little white pen for highlights.

The animals have been stamped onto white card and I've added a little grey and pink copic pen to each along with a white pen highlights. 

The drum kit, sentiment and image in the top corner were all stamped with black ink.

I then adhered the board to the card leaving a little gap to show the stamped image underneath. 

The little animals were adhered with 3D pads.

I then layered the whole thing onto a piece of black card and layered that onto a blank white card.

Stamps: AALL & Create #51 & #59

Inks: Oxide Inks: Bundled sage, Fossilized amber & Spiced Marmalade

She Took A Deep Breath And Let It Go

My clock mechanism arrived at last. I made this clock last week and was waiting impatiently for it.

The girl image and sentiment is from an Unity Stamp Company set called  "She never says never".

This is one of my favourite kits and I wanted to make something for the house so I can see it all the time.

The blank clock is from Hobbycraft which is just the clock face and numbers.

The papers are Teresa Collins - Everyday Moments.

I bought the clock mechanism off ebay.

A little bit of mixed media

So yesterday I made this card and added the final touches this morning. It's a mixed media card featuring lots of AALL & Create stamps.

It all started off when I saw the woman with the balloon. I loved the set so bought and the others kind of plopped into my basket too :0)

The background has been made with gesso and watercolours.

Stamp sets: AALL & Create #5 #23 #39
