PaperArtsy: 2024 Subject 6 : Scrapcosy

Hello everybody!  It is Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you at present and I’m ever so excited to have the prospect to play with stamps for the Scrapcosy matter, as you all know the way a lot I am keen on Raquel and her unimaginable designs!  I selected to do a Mash Up put up to point out how superbly Scrapcosy stamps pair with Gwen Lafleur stamps.  Each designers have a wonderful illustrative model, Raquel with a extra true classic aesthetic and Gwen leaning towards a extra bohemian vibe.  Nonetheless, the kinds of illustration pair superbly.  My process was made easy, minus the choice on which two stamp units to marry…

My favourite a part of this course of was creating my very own ephemera from every stamp.  I simply love how these photos may be customized in any coloration palette, however in the end I selected to work in an autumnal scheme, as a result of  fall is nearly upon us and is most stunning within the foothills of South Carolina.

I used to be away from residence, so I assumed what higher time to do a put up that includes only a few merchandise.  I picked a trio of Misery Ink Pads, one bottle of PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylic (Heavy Cream) and simply two stamp units, Scrapcosy stamp set 26 (ESC26) and Gwen Lafleur stamp set 19 (EGL19).

I began by getting inky!  I dipped a pair of Bristol panels into Misery Inks in Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge and Classic Picture, repeating the method till I used to be pleased with the colour.  

I do not find out about you, however generally simply diving in with coloration appears the easiest way to kickstart my mojo.  Subsequent, I stamped my focal imagery then performed round with composition utilizing the precise pink rubber stamps as puzzle items to find out my format.  

Then I began coloring my focal photos to coordinate with my inky backgrounds and commenced stamping the backgrounds in numerous colours.

 

At this level, I used to be nonetheless considering our quarterly theme of “Hidden” and determined it might be a variety of enjoyable to let a few of these very wealthy colours and picture outlines grow to be hidden or subdued within the background.  

I made a decision this patch of “free house” can be an ideal spot so as to add some journaling.  So to hold on with the Hidden Theme, I hooked up my focal photos to smaller inky tags and adhered them with masking tape hinges to the bigger tags.  It was an ideal house to include extra stamping.

I used the Scrapcosy textual content stamps to spotlight every mini tag.  The collage components remind me of gathering nature’s treasures on a stroll by means of the forest.

I made a decision the shadowy birds wanted slightly oomph, so I fussy reduce one other coloured chicken and layered it over to finish the collage I used to be going for, with the smaller chicken going through the “mama chicken”. 

I’m wanting ahead to including private writing on these areas sooner or later.

I hope you’ve got loved this Mash Up of Scrapcosy and Gwen Lafleur stamps!  Maybe you are pondering of the units you personal and the way they are often mixed.  I might like to see what you give you!  xx, Autumn
