Hello Friends
I am here this week to share my Guest Designer project for AALL & Create. I created a mini travel journal using two stamp sets by Bipasha BK - Magnify It (#319), Navigate Home (#323) and Autour de Mwa's stencil Lotza Trianglz (#105).
I started by using Eileen Hull's Notebook die (Sizzix 663635) as my base.
Using Paper Artsy paints in Aquamarine and Snowflake I brayered the paint over the journal base and then applied Snowflake paint to the stencil, spritzed it with water and applied it to the journal. This gives a nice gentle reproduction of the stencil.
Next I stamped the balloon onto the cover, and the binoculars onto the back. I coloured the balloon with the fabulous new Crackling Campfire Distress Ink by Tim Holtz. I added the words using Tim's Ideology Big Chat Stickers.
I created two signatures by painting with the same paints and then using the Lotza Trianglz stencil with a white pen to trace through the stencil onto the background. Again, this gives a nice gentle image.
The first signature was stamped with the Binoculars from stamp set #323.
The second signature was stamped with the stop watch from stamp set #323.
To finish off I created a charm set.
Another look at the finished journal.
A list of worldwide stockists for the stamp sets and stencil I used are available from AALL & Create HERE.
Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon. In the meantime, stay safe and well.
Hugs, Anne xxx
This is a gorgeous journal Anne. I adore the colour and the stenciling gives such great texture and interest. The stamps are fabulous! I especially love the binoculars and the signatures look amazing too. Once again I am blown away by your art. Take care and stay well. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThat background is just gorgeous in close-up, Anne, and I love the balloon. Fabulous work, as ever.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can imagine you're enjoying Crackling Campfire. I'm looking forward to it for autumn crafting - hoping my order will be waiting for me when I get back to the UK, ready for some playtime in between sorting and packing!
