Hello everyone, Liesbeth here with you today, so nice to be back. For this post I have been exploring the new Tracy Scott products that were introduced a few days ago: three brand new stamp sets and three new stencils!
Today I'm looking forward to sharing with you my box and lots of cards. My plan was to have fun experimenting, combining and discovering the nice, funny, Egyptian style stamps and stencils...and I did!
As you can see it got a bit out of hand, it's quite a lot! The reason is.. I really couldn`t stop! :-)
These beautiful supplies were sent to me: PaperArtsy Stamps TS099, TS100 and TS101. And PaperArtsy Stencils PS474, PS475 and PS476.
I never have a plan in advance, I just go with the flow while creating. But this time I found a small blank pizza box (24x24 cm), it asked to be decorated. For the background of the box (and a stack of cards) I also used two A3 pieces of white cardstock. I'd love to show you the process!
First I took the two big pieces of cardstock and started to create two 'master boards'. Using PaperArtsy Fresco Finish-Matte Glaze I glued some different torn pieces of old book paper to create structure.
After a thin layer of gesso I started painting the surface with my favorite colours: PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Blue Lagoon and Limelight. The paints were applied with a wet baby wipe.
Using the three stencils I started to decorate the masterboards. For some contrast and vivacity I also added the Fresco paint colours Scottish Salmon, Guacamole and Glass Blue.
With some small sponges, this colours of Fresco Paint and some gesso I continued playing with the stencils onto both papers.
Time for the stamps! I used lots of different stamps of the stamp sets, perfect for this background and so perfect in combination with the stencils! I used Tsukineko StazOn inks: Jet black, Cactus Green, Blue Hawaii, Mustard and St. Valentine.
The masterboards are ready to use!
Onto two A4`s of PaperArtsy Smoothy regular white stamping card I stamped almost every stamp from the three stamp sets TS099, TS100 and TS101. The ideas immediately started bubbling in!
I cut them out and coloured every piece part with water colour pencils and water.
I cut the masterboards in different pieces for cards and ATC`s. For the top of the pizza box I needed a big square, 22 x 22 cm. I sponged the edges of the cards with black ink.
This way I arranged the different cards with all kind of combinations and bits and parts of the stamps. So much fun!
I coloured the sides and edges of the box with blue ink and stamped the small flower and Egyptian characters with white and black ink. Now the big cat card can be glued onto the box lid.
Onto one of the cards I used a piece of Tracy Scott`s printed tissue paper PT04. I tore out the bee and painted the backside of it with Fresco paint Snowflake, let it dry and glued it onto the card with Matte Glaze. (one of the pictures below)
I matted everything onto blue cardstock and ..ended up with a nice box and a lot of cards!
The pizza box...ready!
The top of the box with the cat and its new big ears, It's sitting onto two 'feather things', the same as the one the flowers are on. The scarabs are the cat`s guards.
Here I used a piece of printed tissue as I explained before, and I outlined the edges of the white stencil print with a black fineliner.
The cat with its own ears, but here I gave it other wings.
Three ATC cards, I used small pieces from the printed tissue (script) and a black fineliner and a white gel pen.
How I love the big dragonfly! The cat`s wings this time was the bow, I just cut it in half. I decorated the cat with the big masque and the whiskers.
A joke! The 'hair` is two wings I cut off the cat, the mouth is pieces of the scarab!
A detail of the dragonfly card.
I really loved playing with the new Tracy stamps and stencils! So many possibilities and combinations...I enjoyed and had so much fun! So much that it was almost impossible to stop.
Hope I inspired you! Keep creating and have fun..!
See you next time, have a nice day,
Liesbeth
