Hi everyone, Kay here to show you my newest stamps designed for PaperArtsy.

I am sooooooooo excited to be releasing another stamp set and stencil. This time my focus for the stamp set was foxgloves and bees combined with a leaf stencil. 

With this stamp set I purposely designed a couple of delicate flowers which I felt would provide a good contrast to the bigger flowers on this sheet. You'll notice on my samples below that the delicate flowers can be stamped multiple times to make taller versions, multi-headed versions etc... I also incorporated some twirly tendrils again - a left one and a right one, in two different sizes - these can be added to any of the flower stems or they can double up as 'bee trails'! Talking of the 'bees' I have given you three different sizes to help with 'creating the illusion of depth' as well as  having them flying in different directions!

As for my leaf stencil.................you have got four different sizes of 'sprigs'!!! When using them with paints, ink pads etc... think about joining the sprigs up. (Just like I'm always saying to do with the flowers.) They have all been designed with a 'slight curve' so that when you flip the stencil you can have them leaning either to the left or to the right. The large sprig would also make a great tree or tree branch!! I know that I will be using this particular stencil a lot - not just with this particular stamp set but with all my others too!!

Tonight I wanted to give you a sense of what I might get up to with these stamps, but over the next 2 nights, you'll get plenty more inspiration from 2 other fantastic bloggers in their preferred style.

Pretty in Pink using EKC07, EKC08 and PS061 by Kay Carley 

With this stamp set I chose to add a few different sizes of bees but in 'my world' they have to be 'friendly bees' so you'll notice that mine do not have 'stings'! 

I often add elements to a sheet that I feel can be stamped multiple times to create multi-headed flowers etc.. The blue spikey flowers here were stamped three times to create that taller, multi headed version. I was lucky when I stamped mine as I got all the stems to join together perfectly but if you 'miss' just use a black multi-liner to fill in any gaps and no-one will be any the wiser!

The soft foliage along the base of my panel was achieved using my brand new stencil (PS061). I am thinking that these leaves would look fabulous used with Grunge Paste which I can't wait to try out!!

The 'twirly tendrils' allow you to change the look of the flowers - these can be added to any of the flower stems or you could make a border with them. (The tall white flowers in the background are from EKC07.) This whole panel was created to give the impression of a lovely summer's day.

'Dusk' using  EKC06, EKC07,EKC08, PS059 and PS061 by Kay Carley  

For my second project I wanted to show how well my February release of stamps (in particular EKC06 and EKC07) and my PS059 stencil work seamlessly with my new stamp set and stencil. I feel this is because I drew all these sets at the same time so I had it firmly fixed in my brain how I wanted all these stamps and stencils to work together.

You can see how I really like to build up 'layers' of stamping and stencilling which was why it was important for me to have stamps and stencils that would all complement each other. My EKC07 stamp set (from my  February release) was purposely designed with imagery that I felt could be used time and time again to support all my other stamp sets. For the first time I actually stamped and embossed my background flowers (from EKC07) - I wasn't too sure how it would turn out and if I would be able to successfully stamp on top of them - it turns out I could!!

Another 'first' for me was painting a whole A4 sheet of cardstock!! I thought it then gave lots of possibilities!! The image above was taken before I added words and 3D elements and to be honest I very nearly stopped at this point as I really liked it how it looked at this stage! I even thought about cutting it up and making it into a triptych as that would have worked well or I could have cut it in half and made two cards/pictures out of it. (See......lots of possibilities!!!) 

Having different sizes of the same image, I personally feel, makes the whole composition come alive........... what do you think??? You might also have noticed how I stamped multi-headed flowers again and angled some of the smaller flowers  so that they weren't all upright - this gives a more relaxed appearance to those flowers which I think makes the whole composition look more natural. Now all I need to do is find a deep box frame to put my picture in!!

I really hope that this has given you an insight as to what I was thinking when I was designing this release and I would honestly love to hear your thoughts. Do you think it is a good idea having smaller and larger imagery contained within a stamp set or would you prefer to have different imagery altogether???

I am now super excited to see what treats we have coming up over the next two nights using EKC08 and PS061 from two of our super duper bloggers!!..............

Love Kay xx
