Hello Friends
The Guest Designers at AALL & Create this week are creating cards. I just received a DT package with some new stamps and stencils and the Frida stamp by Janet Klein seemed the perfect choice to go with my new goodies.
I used all of these goodies to create my little 6" x 6" card.
Hands up, I had to Google how to draw a Hexagon. Once I had my template I traced it onto some watercolour cardstock and then cut out my card shape.
I used Scattered Straw Distress Oxide to create a background.
I used my new stencil Heapza Hexagonz (#112) and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide to create a background pattern before accenting this with stamp #384 - Lined Hexagons by Bipasha BK using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide.
I stamped the beautiful Frida - stamp #377 by Janet Klein onto a separate sheet of watercolour card, coloured Frida with watercolours and then fussy cut her . I used Autour de Mwa's fabulous new Washi Tape to create a grounding for Frida.
I used another fabulous new stencil - Hugely Hexagonal #108 to trace a Hexagonal shape and stamped my sentiment and two tiny paint tubes using the Frida stamp set.
I coloured the sentiment with watercolours before attaching to my card.
I decided to add a little more stencilling in the top right corner by using stencil #95 - Sunrise by Janet Klein. Finally, I edged the card with black marker pen.
Here is a close up of the beautiful Frida.
Worldwide stockists for the stamp, stencils and washi tape I used on this project can be found HERE.
Thanks so much for your visit, I really appreciate it and hope to see you again soon.
In the meantime please keep safe and well.
Hugs, Anne xxx
Gorgeous Anne, loving that pop of red against the background . She is adorable and you have showcased her beautifully 😘😘
ReplyDeleteOoh Anne this is so gorgeous! I love Frida, she kind of reminds me of me a bit but with grey hair! I love wearing long skirts and dresses and red lipstick! I have that stamp and haven't used it yet, I really must. Your background is beautiful and the colours you used for Frida really pop. Fab card shape too. Take care and stay safe my friend. Hugs xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love this Anne. Your Frida is simply delightful! So cute and colourful .. I love her! The background is amazing and I love the hexagonal shape too. Absolutely gorgeous card. Take care, stay safe and God Bless. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Anne - so bright and cheerful and so, so cute!
ReplyDeleteFrida she can be nothing less than awesome, great shape card to carry the inspiring lady herself, very clever to trace and cut a hexagon shape from the stencil to stamp out a sentiment. Perfect sizing, as if it was made just for that. Scattered straw always makes me very happy, the first ever distress ink I invested in. Love it all Anne.
ReplyDeleteSending safe hugs your way take care Tracey xx
I love this Anne ..... your Frida is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to create a hxagon shaped card to go with the stencils and carry that through with the sentiment. Frida looks fun! Elaine xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous assortment of NBUS, Annie, and what a pretty young thing Frida is with her beautiful blue dress, roses headdress, and fanciful eyeball! I love the hexagon shape and all the hexagon and stenciled features you've added! Your creations are never boring, my friend!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to say how perfect I think that sediment is for Frida's countenance!!
ReplyDeleteShe's delightful - as I said, I love the hexagon - suitably quirky - and the little paint tubes make me smile.
