Hi everyone, nice to be back with you again
This year on the blog, we have free rein to do a deep dive into a PaperArtsy product ranges of our choosing. For this post I have been exploring Tracy Scott's new products.
Today I'm looking forward to sharing with you what I figured out when I used Tracy's fantastic new products.
Upon seeing these new products—two stamp sets, eight mini stamps, and two stencils—a vibrant image immediately sprang to mind. I decided the first stamp would be for a large card, and the second for an accordion book.
Tracy's creations always take us by surprise, and her dynamic use of colour delights her fans. Today I too have tried my hand at some splendid colour combinations.
The products sent by PaperArtsy on this occasion are as listed above. Tracy Scott stamp sets (TS102 and TS103), and Minis : (TSM33, TSM34, TSM35. TSM36, TSM37, TSM38, TSM30 and TSM40) Stencils : PaperArtsy Stencil by Tracy (PS489 and PS490) - All 2025 October New. Retailers are mentioned in this Tracy's new product introduction blog.
After completing the stencil, I stamped the TS102 motif using Ranger Industries - Archival Ink (Jet Black). Wanting a bit more sparkle, I then stencilled over it in Gold using PS268.
The main holly flower motif on TS102 has been painted in pink, creating two flowers put the focal points.
The first one paint Bubble Gum for the outer petals, Bougainvillea for the central petals, the topmost layer uses the dark-coloured petals from the next photograph.
The petals of this darker flower use a colour created by mixing Amethyst and Bougainvillea. The petals on the right were used for the previous flower. The explanation has become a little complicated, but I hope you'll understand from the photo below.
These red petals were used for the third small flower. I used colour is London Bus.
I thought a few leaves would be better, so I used TS097 and painted with Cerulean and Bermuda, finishing with coloured pencils and a white gel pen.
The created layer has been positioned.
I covered the flowers and splattered them with pink highlighter.
Finally, I used the TSM40 to create the quote (It from Alison Bomber's stamp EAB38) and complete the work.
For the second instalment, I used TS103 to create an accordion book. Tracy suggested in PaperArtsy livestream that we try using the mini stamp girls with the frames, so I did.
I applied Grunge paste using the PaperArtsy Stencil by Tracy Scott (PS462) on the second sheet of paper.
The two sheets of paper were each made with different colours.
On one I dissolved a little Limelight, Banana, and Inky Pool in water, applied it with a dropper, and then sprayed water over it again. Then I divided the A4 paper into four equal parts.
The second sheet was also created using Inky Pool and Purple Majesty in the same manner.
The first page features the TSM18 girl in the TS103 photo slider, displaying mini TSM36 and TSM39, coloured using coloured pencils.
This girl is TSM17 and flowers are TS82.
I've also prepared these pages. The top two were used for the front and back covers.
After embossing the TS97 flowers onto the background of the page using purple embossing powder and applying adhesive, it became transparent rather than semi-translucent. Perhaps tissue paper would have been better.
TSM40 is very useful I created words by separating them.
Finally, the accordion book is constructed.
Creating pieces with Tracy's products is a real pleasure. I believe her stamps and stencils are versatile materials that can be combined to create distinct works each time. The piece I made today represents only a fraction of their potential, and I wish to explore further possibilities.
Thank you so much for visiting.
