Hello Friends
I had to miss posting for AALL & Create last week, I was just a little under the weather and couldn't bring myself to do any crafting. All is well now and we are in lock down for the next 12 weeks in our house so, if I can get my mojo back, hopefully I can buck my ideas up and post a little more regularly again... fingers crossed. I hope you are all managing well with the social distancing etc.
The Guest DT are posting mixed media projects this week. I used Olga Heldwein's beautiful Unfurling Petals stamp set #273 and I have combined it with Olga's stencil - Twirling Tendrils #86 to create a mixed media board.
I started by creating the background by brayering paint onto the media board. I stamped and coloured the Unfurling Petals stamp onto white card and coloured it in with the same colour as the background.
I brayed some green paint next and then used the Twirling Tendrils stencil to stencil some white paint over the background.
I gathered a few bits and pieces together to layer up on the top of the board.
To finish off I added some twine and a co-ordinating button.
A list of stockists selling AALL & Create products can be found HERE. We are hoping that AALL & Create fans will support their local stockists, especially in these difficult times.
Thanks so much for your visit, as always it is much appreciated.
Take care and stay safe and well.
Hugs, Anne xx
So sorry to hear you were ill last week (I did wonder, given the missing post) - but relieved to know all is well now. Confined to quarters ought to mean lots of crafting time, but it is somehow tricky to make the most of it. I have bursts of creative energy, but then it seems to vanish again... I expect it will sort itself out as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card - I love the corrugated layer and the warmth of that background panel, but most of all I love how you've let that central image speak for itself - so lovely on the white and beautifully tinted.
Stay safe. Hugs,

Hi Anne, hope you are feeling much better! Fab card, love the colours, and using the cardboard is a brill idea, I have saved some from going in the recycling this week; I have the tools, less of the getting up late and more of get up and go, and thank you dear Anne for the inspiration.Stay safe Axxx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Anne, these colours go perfectly together, and what a lovely stencil. I hope you are feeling better now. Take care and stay safe, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Anne, brayered backgrounds are becoming one of my favourites and love the addition of the distressed corrugated card :)

ReplyDeleteI love the background on this project Anne, the stenciling looks fab. Such a pretty floral image too.

Glad to hear that you are feeling well and crafting again. Love the colours you have used on this piece and all the layers. Keep safe and keep crafting!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you were feeling poorly Anne but so good to hear that you are feeling better now. Love the colours you used on this board. The brayered background looks amazing and I love the floral stamp. Love the bit of hessian and the corrugated board behind the focal image too. This looks absolutely amazing!! Stay safe and well dear friend. hugs xx
ReplyDeleteAnne i'm so sorry to hear you have been unwell and sorry again that I missed seeing this post earlier in the week. Now take all the rest of those weeks to take extra care of yourselves and create to your hearts content all other things will just have to wait. What a stunning stamp set that is and there's me saying I don't need anymore :/ Beautiful choice of colour, layering and so well matched with the twine & button. It makes me want to do a little happy dance as my brains saying... go get some crafty time!
ReplyDeleteI may just treat myself this weekend. Take good care of yourself dear Anne & carry on creating Hugs Tracey xx
First of all, you didn't tell me you weren't feeling well, Annie! I'm so sorry. I hope you do feel better and you feel more creative soon. It's good for the soul. You certainly managed to put together a stunning board with amazing color and texture! Please take care of yourselves 😷 and be safe! As you say to me, you're very precious to me! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteHello Anne. Sorry to hear you were poorly. It is a terrible time for everyone, made much worse when you don't feel well. However, I love your card and stencil. I have just ordered them today. Please Stay Safe and we will make an effort to visit you again. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you have not been well but glad you are ok now. I am so behind with my blog comments, so sorry! We are on lock down too. Your board is absolutely beautiful! Love the wonderfully coloured image with the textures behind and the fab decorated board. Just love it! Hugs my friend and I am glad you are staying safe! xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you were ill, and I have been wondering about your health with all this nonsense. So happy to hear you are on the upside judging from my backward visit to your blog. Your artwork does not reflect any lack of mojo, in fact I think this card is so lovely in color and what a gorgeous design!
