Hello everybody,
Alison right here with you at this time from Phrases and Footage. It has been such a thrill and an honour seeing the wonderful creations made with my stamps over this month… what a deal with! If you have not seen the character impressed tasks already posted, do scroll again via them – I promise you it is going to be time effectively spent.
Clearly, nature is on the coronary heart of my stamp designs, and pure supplies play a component in so lots of the tasks I make that this Nature theme could not have been nearer to my coronary heart.
It is a busy time of yr, so my venture can be a quite simple one – nearly nothing greater than assembling some ins and outs that have been already round. However I did have a beautiful time including some magical frosty touches – learn on to search out out extra (although you will have to see a video for the complete sparkle impact!)…
There is a purpose I created a bark texture for my newest stamp designs – I really like the feel of bark! I feel utilizing these two bark scraps as my background panels provides these collages an actual sense of earthy presence and textural magnificence.
And creating my coordinating phrase labels to match the leaves could not have been less complicated… so long as, like me, you by no means throw something away!
Autumn is basically the one time of yr when vivid colors hit my desk, however after they do they actually do! The climate exterior is all the time an enormous affect on what I am making, so the turning leaves and our first frosts are the inspiration behind the color palette right here.
At the moment of yr, I all the time have a tray filled with autumnal leaves able to seize. I do them in several colors and mediums in several years, creating sheets of color with paints or inks or sprays and so on after which doing an enormous die-cutting session with all my leaf dies. (You possibly can watch this yr’s session over on my YouTube channel in the event you’re .) And I preserve the leftover papers too… which goes to be vital in a minute.
I purchased the field of bark panels years in the past. They are a bit bigger than ATC measurement (10.5 x 7cm or 4 and 1/8 by 2 and 6/8 inches) in order that they’re good for a fast make when time is brief.
All I needed to do now was resolve which of my stamps I wished to layer in to the collaging…
So that I may have phrase labels which completely coordinated with the chosen leaves, I had the brainwave of stamping STILLNESS and FROST onto one of many leftover die-cutting sheets. They’re stamped in Scorched Timber Misery Ink, my new favorite not-black. (This was the primary less-successful stamping – I pressed too exhausting and the juicy Misery Ink splurged, making the n far too huge. You will see it is a lot nicer on the completed model!)
There’s now a refined classic shimmer throughout my bark panels, and I adore it. It is nearly unattainable to seize in {a photograph}, sadly. I will present them transferring within the gentle in a Reel over on my Instagram quickly…
So there you’ve it… a quite simple option to create one thing just a little bit particular to have fun the turning of the seasons.
The bark texture provides you earthiness, the layers provide you with dimension and motion, and a contact of frosty sparkle will all the time add additional magic.
And naturally you should use any stamped pictures you need for layering into your collages. I now need to make some extra panels utilizing the opposite new wintry stems. I am off to play! Thanks a lot for stopping by at this time and blissful crafting, all.
