Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Snowman ST26" Flurry Christmas Card



I've had a little stamp and stencil play session, making this little snowman scene. I started with a piece of white card and used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Snowman SS26" stencil.  The shades of inks I used are Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass. I then used "Tumbled Glass" again through the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS53 stencil" and both colours to create the landscape the snowman stands on.

I then stamped the image within the snowman, uisng a tree stamp from the Tracy Evans "On The Wild Side TE50" stamp set, in first and second generation stamping and the stag from the Tracy Evans "Take The Scenic Route TE68" stamp set, I then added snow using a white Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Botuique Designs "Seed Pods TE29" Card



I've had a lovely half hour colouring these seed pods, which are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Seed Pods TE29" stamp set, which I stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

I know the seed pods wouldn't traditionally be the colour of apples, but I enjoyed colouring them, using Derwent Inktense Pencils in an Autumna colour way. I'll call it "artistic licence"!


Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Silhouettes TE38" Tree and Stag Artist Trading Card



This is my Artist Trading Card (ATC) for the day.  I have used Distress Oxide Inks to  create a water colour style background, by spritzing the card then using a very wet paint brush with the ink on it, straight on to the card.  The colours of inks I used are: Tea Dye, Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire.

I used Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue" and "Twilight" for stamping, using the tree and first line of the verse from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Silhouettes TE38" stamp set and the stag from the Tracy Evans "Take The Scenic Route TE68" stamp set.  Finally, I added touches of white gel pen and a black fine liner pen too.
