WoywW #627

 Hello everyone, 

Desk sharing day @ the stamping ground 

let me start by sharing some happy mail I received from our 

hostess Julia. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, 

just the boost I needed after a tiring week, I love them 😘 

So what's on my workdesk this Wednesday..?? 

Finished and framed those needlework pieces shown last week. 

They are patterns from Rowandean Morti, I know the first can be 

found in Katrina Wittens Landscapes & Flowers embroidery book.

apart from that there's been plenty of this when care duties are done. 

Those aquarel studiolight flower books are a great way chill out after 

a busy day and it's a treat to be sat outside in my blooming garden.

Thank you for your kind words last week regarding my MIL, 

she's still on a very slow road to recovery. 

Take care everyone & 

Happy WoywW...

Guest Designer @ Try it on Tuesday ~ Feminine

 Hello Creative Friends, 

Always an honour to be invited to be Guest Designer 

@ Try it on Tuesday and a real pleasure to accept. 

With their new fortnightly Theme of *Feminine*, 

there's many ways to interpret that one single word.

For me something Feminine is soft and gentle..

This studio light stamp is so graceful with layered flowers, 

and a little lace. It's busy background was replaced using 

texture paste through a Stamperia Cosmos astronomy and 

numbers stencil. Painted in delicate pastels ties 

everything together so peacefully . 

 The Try it on Tuesday Team will love seeing your take 

on their Feminine theme right HERE, they give the 

warmest of welcomes and inspiration galore 

from the super talented TioT design team. 

BIG Thank you's from me...

Creative Hugs

**Sadly due to unforeseen circumstances I am AFK but

 Take good care everyone

What's on your Wednesday Workdesk #592

 Hello everyone, 

hope you are all keeping well ? 

Desk sharing day again over @ the stamping ground and a 

midweek meet up to show and tell what's on our workdesks. 

The past week has been a busy one but did manage to catch a couple of hours 

to sit and colour stamped images from Tracy Easson's new stamp collection. 

WoywW #592

Played with a freebie Studiolight stamp received a few weeks ago. 

I'm always impressed when an image stamps first time onto hammered 

card without losing any of the detail, the linework is ultra fine. 

Made a boo-boo colouring over the lines of the Purple Cyclamen 😒

probably why the white one is my fav, now all awaiting a sentiment.

Look forward to seeing what's on your workdesk. 

Stay safe & creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

Creative Artiste *October* Mixed Media Challenge* #65

 Hello Creative Friends, 

It's October Challenge time @ Creative Artiste 

where each month Anything Mixed Media Goes. 

If YOU love working with a mixture of mediums 

come share your creativity with the team and join 

the Creative Artiste *October* Challenge HERE.. 

This month I have created A House for all Seasons..

Here's what I got up to with wood, stamps, stencils, 

pastes, die cuts and wire to name but a few...

Using two pieces of wood left over from a recent garden project, 

I used an image from AALL & Create's Shuttered Window's stamped 

onto rice paper ready to position exactly where I wanted.

Adhered to the wooden base I coloured and painted the image 

adding liner pen and glossy accents to bring out areas of detail. 

The back displays paste pushed through Tim Holtz Ironwork and 

Bricked stencils, painted with distress paint, all wrapped gently with 

wire ready for dressing with die cuts of ivy from the StudioLight range.

Adding texture paste to the roof painting in all those finer details 

I lost myself in a creative afternoon with this piece, so I will leave

you with views from all sides and let the pictures tell it's story. 

I love how the twisted wire and roving ivy envelops these sides still 

allowing the texture of Tim Holtz Iron work stencil to peep through.

Words taken from Tim Holtz tiny text stamp set is a 

reflective message to cherish every moment...

Shutters stamped separately I was delighted to discover each one 

was a mirror image of the other enabling me to stamp both sides. 

Attached either side of the arched window it gives a private yet 

homely feel with it's evergreen ivy, timeless whatever the season.

Now it's your turn to create and share 

your mixed media creations @ 

Creative Artiste's October Mixed Media Challenge #65 

and please check out what the 

Design Team have created this October. 

Look forward to seeing your creative creations.

Creative wishes

Hello creative Friends, 

I'm so happy to reveal today that I have 

joined the Creative Artiste Design Team. 

A monthly challenge where 

*Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

and a place to share a mixed media 

creation along side the Creative Artiste Team. 

Thank you Andree and the team for inviting me..

Here's a walk through my September project and how it came to be.. 

Autumn my favourite of Seasons the warmth of it's colours are so cosy. 

Taking a postcard sized piece of mixed media card I painted a scene 

stamping wildflower stems in the forefront adding to it's atmosphere.

Sanding down a deep edge frame leaves are stamped onto the exposed wood 

and painted with the same colour palette. To add interest to the front of 

the frame texture paste is pushed through a stencil and left to harden.

Painting the textured edge in complimentary bronze, dots of glitter 

glue add the final touch of detail to the glass window protecting it. 

Glistens like morning dew from every angle,

my mixed media frame is complete and now ready to display.

Pop on over HERE and see what the Creative Artiste DT

CREATIVE ARTISTE GUEST DESIGNER ~ Anything Goes..

Hello Creative Friends 

I'm extremely honoured to be Augusts Guest Designer 

over @ Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge today. 

Over the moon way back in March when chosen by the 

Design Team as their winner I'm here today sharing my 

GD mixed media creation and how it came to be...

It all started with a single Studio Light stamp laying 

down colour on the image I'd stamped out multiple times.. 

then building up the background with a mix of media 

including beaded pearls, sequins and scraps of lace.

When happy with my colour choice I cut out three images 

teasing their shape with a ball tool, my favourite tool 

to breakdown paper fibres allowing me to manipulate and 

define those fine details found within the stamps design.

When applied to the background you can see why the ball tool 

is a favourite just look how much dimension can be achieved 

with just one little tool.

 

Wrapping the sea urchin with silk yarn applying extra embellishments

the seahorse gently rest on top partially camouflaged against the layers.

Bright pops of colour dabbed and dripped around the page 

my underwater mixed media creation is complete.. 

Many thanks to the team for having me as 

Guest Designer this month it's been a pleasure. 

Its always *Anything Goes Mixed Media* @ Creative Artiste 

pop on over for more inspiration and join in with the challenge.

Sending best wishes your way 

stay safe & creative everyone

What's on your Work desk? Wednesday #546

Hello Creative Friends, 

Time to share what's on our Wednesday work desks again. 

Can you believe it's only 5 weeks till Christmas..? 

With that in mind I spent a couple of hours on Sunday 

trying to work out ways of using another one of those 

stamps sat awaiting its turn on my borrowed desk.

WoywW 546

These handful of cards are not quite finished yet, I

just couldn't decide if I liked black or grey houses! 

What do you think..?? 

Hope this weekend I can finish them and 

move on to the next stamp set in the pile.

Another busy week my end so i'll 

catch up with you all asap.. 

Take care everyone 

Creative Hugs
