Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Snowman ST26" Flurry Christmas Card

I've had a little stamp and stencil play session, making this little snowman scene. I started with a piece of white card and used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Snowman SS26" stencil.  The shades of inks I used are Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass. I then used "Tumbled Glass" again through the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS53 stencil" and both colours to create the landscape the snowman stands on.

I then stamped the image within the snowman, uisng a tree stamp from the Tracy Evans "On The Wild Side TE50" stamp set, in first and second generation stamping and the stag from the Tracy Evans "Take The Scenic Route TE68" stamp set, I then added snow using a white Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Malva TE8" Paper Hug Card

 

I've opted for a clean and simple design for this card.  I used the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Creative Spark TE24" stamp set for the circle, stamped in Versafine Clair "Arctic" blue ink.

I then stamped the small flower from the Tracy Evans "Malva TE8" stamp set, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I stamped the flower again on to an off-cut of white card too.  Using the same ink, I stamped the leaves, which are part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Insect TE27" stamp set.

Next, I used "Lost Shadow" Distress Oxide Ink through the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43" stencil around the stamped area.  I fussy curt the flower on the white bit of card and glued into postion on the card, adding some shadow using a 2B pencil.  I added a touch of clour to the central area of the flower using  a paint brush to apply "Twisted Citron" Distress Oxide Ink.  

Finally, I used the Simon Says Stamp "Tiny Words - Birthday" stamp set, for the sentiment, also stamped in Versfine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs ""Good Things Take Time TE60" Flower Card

For this card, I used the flower from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Good Things Take Time TE60" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink. I then painted the flower heads with Pebeo Drawing Gum to mask them from getting ink on them.

I then worked on the background, using the Tracy Evans "Circular ST6 Stencil" with "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival ink, colouring in three different sized circles. I then used the same ink with the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43 Stencil" to add dots across the surface.

Next, I used "Shadow Gray" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans "Distressed Background SS31 stencil" to create the diamonds. I deliberately left a relatively open space to the middle right of the flower so that I can add a sentiment at a later date.

I rubbed off the drawing gum then added shados to the flowers and to the diamonds to provide a more 3D look.  Finally, adding colour to the flowers by using a paint brush to apply Derwent Inktense pencils.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and Fauna TE53" Rose and Heart Anniversary Card

This evening I made this anniversary card.  I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the rose, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Flora and Fauna TE53" stamp set.

In the background, I used the Tracy Evans "Heart SS12" stencil, with "Saltwater Taffy" Distress Oxide Ink.  I then used the same ink through the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43" stencil round the edge of the heart.

I used a 2B pencil, a paper stub and a white gel pen to shade the rose in.  Finally adding the sentiment, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Love Grows Here TE65" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink.

Tracy Evans "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" Honeysuckle Card

This is a card I made for my friend a week or so back, but have not been able to share it till now.

I started this card using "Tea Rose" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Heart SS12 Stencil".  I then stamped the honeysuckle, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Blossoms Of Hope TE62" stamp set.  I stamped the word "honeysuckle" in the same ink and it is from the same stamp set too.

Next, I used the Tracy Evans "Tile SS37 Stencl" with "Shadow Grey" Ranger Archival Ink. I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the text, which is part of the Tracy Evans "Magnolia TE43" stamp set, stamped in second generation stamping to create a very light text.

Using a gold coloured gel pen and the Tracy Evans "Flurry SS43 Stencil", I drew round the circles, then filled them in using a gold coloured Posca Pen.  Finally, I added a trail of small dots by the honeysuckle using a black Posca Pen.

Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Poinsettia TE20" Artist Trading Card

This is my Artist Trading Card for the day.  On a plain white card I covered 3/4 of it with "Prickly Pear" Ranger Archival Ink.  I then lay the Tracy Evans "Flurry TE20" stencil over the top and applied a white texture paste through the stenci.  Sadly as I lifted the stencil away, I managed to drop it on to the surface, so the "flurry flakes" are far more textural than they should have been!

On a plain white card, using Versafine Clair "Strawberry" red ink, I stamped the word and painsettia flower, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Poinsettia TE20" stamp set. I coloured it using a paint brush to apply "Festive Berries" Distress Oxide Ink.  I also used a yellow Posca Pen too.  I fussy cut the flowers and applied to the card, then cut and glued the word into position.
