Hi everyone, Ingrid here to show you Alison's newest stamps designed for PaperArtsy. I hope you will find some inspiration here today.
Have
you ever found yourself browsing Pinterest to find the right quote for
your journaling or a card? I have, many times! So when Alison put
together two whole sets of beautifully meaningful quotes, I got all
excited. I don't have to search high and low for the right motto
anymore. I can pick one and create around it or the other way around.
Thanks, Alison! :)
I
am terribly indecisive when it comes to picking art supplies sometimes
and I hate to 'procraftinate'. I was having a really hard time to pick
just one so I decided to use them all! I think I only left one behind in
the end as it didn't fit on the pocket, but I will find a right project
for that one ;)
For this post, I created a simple and colourful...
For this post, I created a simple and colourful...
I
knew I wanted to make one, but I wasn't sure exactly how. So I started
exploring the idea further and, whilst rummaging through my supplies,
came across a bunch of paper CD covers that I once received by mistake. I
was supposed to receive the sturdy clear ones to use them for the pesky
little dies that after a use or two start falling out of their original
packaging. I hate throwing things away so I stashed it knowing they
would be useful one day. Today is the day!
I had a great messy fun using a whole bunch of the gorgeous Fresco Finish Chalk Paints
on my Gelli Plate. I tried to keep it fairly simple but colourful.
Using Gelli Plate is a great exercise for those who have a problem
'letting go' and overthinking it when creating. Fear not... You're not
alone! I do have to laugh when my palette paper ends up looking better
than what I am working on :D
In case you wonder, I used a bunch of other stamps from Paperartsy, such as EEV05 by Ellen Vargo, ELB31, ELB34 by Lin Brown as well as the stencils by Kim Dellow. Once again, I tried to go with the flow and was not looking for perfection. I was going for a more distressed look.
I
wanted Alison's stamps to pop so I went for a white for contrast and a
bit of sponging with dark brown ink did the trick. Gluing two of the
pockets together and adding paint to them made them sturdy after all. It
also meant that I have two pockets on each side of the pages. I might
use them for smaller dies after all and be reminded of the beautiful
quotes each time I list through them. Or I might store some die cuts in
the pockets...
Let me know your thoughts of what you would use it for in the comments below. I shall look forward to hearing from you. I also hope you can buy Alison's stamp sets to try them and create something for yourself.

the book is gorgeous Ingrid, the colours are fantastic and it sets off Alison's stamps beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous, Ingrid. The colours and layers of the Gelli prints are stunning, and I love how you've shown the words can be decorative elements as well as carrying meaning. I love how the white text pops even against those busy backgrounds. Thank you so much for showcasing the stamps so beautifully.
