Happy post arrived today in the form of the Media Medley and the Blooming Marvelous collections from CraftaScope. So a pot of tea was made and taken into the studio for the start of a play day with these exciting products designed by Nick Roberts, the stamps, stencils and dies are fantastic quality. Its worth mentioning that most of Nick's stamps are made from TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber) which is 100% recyclable and can be used with heat allowing techniques with UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Powder) and more.
I designed this canvas around the sentiment from the Positive Journey stamp set "Create Your Own Pathway".
First |I put colour on the canvas using spiced marmalade, twisted citron and peacock feathers distress oxides.
Then it was spritzed with water, left for a few seconds then dried to create the background.
Twisted citron oxide ink was then sponged through the Flower Orbit stencil to create interest. Part of one design from the Retro Fun stencil was used back to back with texture paste to create the path through the middle of the canvas. When dry colour was added using black soot and vintage photo distress crayons. The flowers and leaf was added in the bottom right corner using glue gel, these were coloured with the peacock feathers oxide and aladine diamond.
The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock with black archival ink, coloured with the same three oxides used on the canvas and the letter were filled in with a green spectrum noir alcohol marker. This was matted onto black cardstock and added to the canvas using foam pads.
The two pointed hands were cut from black, blue and cream card using one of the dies from the ATC Antics die set then layered up, cut in two and attached using foam pads.
So many ideas for using these wonderful products but until next time ...............
Happy crafting.
