Hello Friends, welcome to my lovely new followers!
My project this week for AALL & Create uses Olga Heldwein's fabulous Red Baron A4 sized stamp set #114. I have been wanting to play with this stamp for ages!
I created an Artist Trading Block using the ATB die by Eileen Hull for my base.
I die cut the block from mountboard and assembled it. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers, and then used embossing paste through Olga's Stencil #2 by AALL & Create to create some background interest before cutting to size for the block. Since the block is black, I inked the edges of the layering pieces with Black distress Ink.
I stamped the Red Baron images onto white cardstock.
I fussy cut all the elements that I wanted to use on my block and coloured some with Derwent Inktense pencils.
You can see in this photo that I added splats in red and black to the background.
In the end I decided to colour the large circle before mounting it.
A final view from the top showing more of the cut out circles, which I layered up with sticky pads. Finally, I added some 'feet' to the block, from some old packing foam I have been saving.
You can purchase the stamp set and stencil that I used HERE, where you will find a list of worldwide stockists.
I left the top of the box open so that a small gift can be placed inside.
Thanks so much for your visit, I do really appreciate you taking the time. I hope to be back on Saturday with another Wendy Vecchi project, using her wonderful new products.
Hugs, Anne xxx
