You have most likely noticed that the tag pairs I have been exhibiting you’re truly fairly carefully associated to 1 one other, although with variations each in color and detailing. Although I do say so myself, I feel they appear superb all gathered collectively!
As normal, I have been impressed to play in abundance with these new designs, so there are a lot of, many extra initiatives to share. Let me simply provide you with a fast have a look at a few of them – and naturally they are going to all be showing in additional element over on Instagram and even on my weblog over the following few days and weeks.
Dawn, Sundown Accordion
This one actually shall be greatest seen in a video because it opens out to full size… twelve beautiful gel print backgrounds made with the Mattints, with the brand new River Deep added to the opposite colors already talked about – Ash, Ladybug, Squeezed, The Pink.
I had such enjoyable pulling the prints… Mattints, a brayer and a gel plate – so easy and but so many variations, and such glowing dawn, sundown prints.
And on every web page there’s each visible and verbal poetry… the repetition and variation of picture, color and positioning; and poetic fragments, phrases and particular person phrases assembly and repeating and greeting each other.
Hold your eyes peeled for a correct have a look at this accordion album quickly… it actually shall be value seeing the entire thing slightly than simply these sneak peeks!
Textured Landscapes
I’ve additionally been having a beautiful time with the feel stamps on these units. Even by themselves they provide up many potentialities. Simply have a look at these snowy landscapes…. (and reverse snowy landscapes!)
I anticipated the mountain ranges to work effectively with the EAB43 salt crystals impact and with the EAB44 “clingfilm frost”, however I used to be fairly shocked how good they regarded with the EAB42 bark texture too!
Layered up with some background papers, these (barely bigger than ATC) panels would make actually elegant playing cards for winter festivals.
Dawn Trio
I am guessing it’s possible you’ll be shocked in any respect the pink happening – however with sunrises and sunsets filling my creativeness, it was pretty inevitable! The glow of those backgrounds is all all the way down to the fabulous translucent Mattints. That is Squeezed, The Pink and Ladybug mixed on the gel plate. The Ladybug one way or the other helps the opposite two play much more superbly collectively!
So that is what I used to be exploring with these tags – constructing the layers up from some further sponged texture utilizing the Ash Mattint, adopted by the feel stamps, in order that the stems have someplace to develop from.
Stamping on separate card means you may create coordinating ephemera items to distinction with the backgrounds… and I trimmed the quantity grid in order that it would not cowl an excessive amount of of my hedgerow. It is actually versatile that method!
Winter Textures ATCs
The only of stampings reveals off these tiny stems to perfection, and paired with the ephemera you get a contact of classic pleasure however in a really clear and easy type.
These Artist Buying and selling Playing cards (2.5 x 3.5 inches) are pleasant simply as they’re, however once more you can layer them into winter playing cards so simply, or pop a gap by means of the highest, add some twine and use them as present tags on presents.
Within the Bleak Pink Midwinter!
Through the use of the watercolour stamping technique with Misery Inks in Gathered Twigs, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves, I’ve softened a few of the imagery to offer it motion and spontaneity.
Different stampings are way more refined and exact… general a beautiful mixture of free and detailed.
Textured Layer Playing cards
Extra ATC-sized panels, stamped tone-on-tone with the background texture after which the small sketches from the identical stamp set.
These panels are layered up onto pre-folded playing cards (purchase them in packs in most good craft or paper shops… perhaps Josef Zimmer would inventory them!), the place I’ve stamped the corresponding giant sketch in main and secondary stampings, to offer darker and lighter shadowy variations. So easy, however actually efficient, I feel.
So, that ought to provide you with a little bit perception into a few of the design concepts behind this newest launch, however largely I hope it excites your artistic imaginations to have a good time the wonders of the winter season. Let’s not permit the chilly or the gray to dampen our enjoyment of nature’s magnificence – it is nonetheless there, even should you typically need to look a little bit tougher to seek out it.
