Autumn Silhouette by Angie Coomber

Image
 Hi arty friends, Angie here with a paper silhouette for you. I've always been fascinated with these since I was a child and decided to create one with our lovely Carved Collection and Pencil Marks stamps - these are brilliant for paper cutting because of the simple designs. First I stamped the images on white mixed media paper. I cut out the smallest pieces with a craft knife before cutting the individual flowers and leaves with scissors - that way there is less risk of tearing the paper. For the background I chose an A5 piece of black card, which I splattered with a little bit of watered down white paint. Next I glued my cut out flowers and leaves onto the black card and used a silver gel pen to draw a single line around the edge just to frame the whole thing. Simple but effective I think?

"You don't have to be perfect" by Angie Coomber

 Hello arty friends, how is your weekend going? I hope you're all well. To make this card, I started by stamping the images on watercolour paper, colouring them in, then cutting them out. I cut a 5 inch mat from a piece of blue background left over from another project, and a 4.5 inch piece of white card for the background. I stamped/embossed the sentiment on the white card, then arranged my images on it and glued them down. I then decided to add some colour to the edges of the white card using pink embossing powder to match the colour of the dress. I glued everything onto the card and added some gold accents with a gel pen. Hope you like it! Until next time, hugs from Angie x Stamps used: What a girl wants Flowers gone wild  

Atc´s Mixed Marks

Image
  Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing with   Mixed media marks 1 ,  Pencil marks 5 ,  and  Mixed media marks 2    to  create a  colorful Atc´s that I hope you like . Very easy to do, we started. We cut watercolor paper to a size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches, if you prefer to work in cm, 6.4x8.9. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed, and I color the backgrounds with pigments. W hen the backgrounds dry (we can speed up the process with a heat gun) we will add texture and depth with different inks, in my case I have used distress oxide.To start, I choose a stamp from the  Mixed media marks  , apply the inks, spray water, and stamp, (I'm not looking for definition, I'm looking for a watercolor effect, watery).Help myself with the dryer and go back to stamp with different inks, to continue adding depth and texture. When the layers are dry, I use a stencil and ...

Seaside Postcard by Angie Coomber

 Hello arty friends, How is your summer going? I received the lovely Ahoy stamp set recently and just had to make a summery postcard. I dug into my box of old scrapbook papers and picked out a few that I thought were right for my this. I also have a tin of watercolour postcards so I used one of these. I chose on of the papers for the background (if you look closely you can see it’s actually a Christmas one!) and the others for the boats. Next I stamped the boats on the patterned paper as well as some white paper. I cut out the coloured boats and some of the sails from the white ones, which I glued to the coloured boats. I then glued them onto the background. Finally I added the seagulls and the quote, as well as some embossed background stamping and the word on the sail. I hope you like it! Until next time, Hugs from Angie x Stamps used: Ahoy
